Avnet Memec, the highly specialised semiconductor distributor of Avnet Electronics Marketing EMEA, is offering the recently announced V850ES/Jx3-L All Flash demonstration kit from NEC Electronics. The new demo kit supporting the V850ES/Jx3-L microcontroller family is designed to deliver customers with a complete out-of-the-box experience when selecting a low power consumption capability microcontroller.

The V850ES/Jx3-L Demonstration Kit is an extension of NEC Electronics’ high-performance All Flash™ product line targeted for low power applications, which supports on-board debugging, flash programming and real time execution of application programs. The board contains hardware elements to easily demonstrate simple I/O-functions such as timer input/output, push buttons, 7-segment LED, ADC reference voltage, UART and other serial interfaces as well as a connection to external user’s hardware for custom tests. A number of demonstration projects are included in the kit. These will enable developers to rapidly evaluate V850ES/JG3-L microcontroller and experiment with its peripherals as well as hastily prototype a design.

The MCU benefits from a 5-20MHz high performance 32-bit V850 core with the support of a hardware multiplier to efficiently perform arithmetic functions and quickly process large amounts of data. It includes a number of flexible serial channels for different types of serial communications, an external bus interface to support Mega Bytes of extra memory in addition to up to 256KB of Flash and 16KB of RAM. In addition it offers a number of independent DMA channels and an abundance of different timers on chip. The analog support on the MCU offers 12 channels of 10-bit A/D conversion and two channel 8-bit DACs. The MCU operates on a wide range of voltages and temperatures, and comes in different packages.

The new demo kit is available now.
