MCUs designed for industry 4.0 and IoT devices available now

Mouser is now stocking the FM4 S6E2G-Series microcontrollers from Cypress Semiconductor. Designed for industrial automation and metering applications, the 32-bit S6E2G-Series offers highly integrated hardware-based features and standards-compliant firmware libraries that simplify functional safety compliance, provides superior performance needed for Industry 4.0 applications, and delivers the scalability to minimise design costs and accelerate time-to-market. The microcontrollers are based on a 608 CoreMark, 180-MHz ARM Cortex-M4 CPU core. The series comes equipped with up to 1MB of on-chip flash memory and up to 192kB of SRAM with a 16kB flash accelerator. The microcontrollers provide error-correcting code (ECC) support, and include a hardware watchdog timer (WDT), low-voltage detect, and clock supervisor blocks for safety-critical applications. The series also supports a digital and analog subsystem that features a variety of high-end peripherals and communication modules, including IEEE 1588Ethernet, CAN, a hardware-based crypto assist module, serial communication interfaces (USB, UART, CSIO (SPI), I²C, LIN), as well as and up to 153 GPIOs, advanced control peripherals, 12-bit ADCs, and a quadrature position/revolution counter. The series is supported by FM4-176L-S6E2GM Pioneer Kit, which enables rapid development of high-performance embedded systems using an Arduino Uno-compatible interface to connect to Arduino shields for low-cost hardware expansion. The board's peripherals include an accelerometer and phototransistor, a stereo codec, and multi-color LEDs, plus a microphone jack, line-in jack, and headphone jack. The company’s series microcontrollers are available now in both 144-pin and 176-pin LQFP packages, and operate over a temperature range of -40C to +105C. The devices are ideally-suited for a broad array of motor control, factory automation, industrial, home appliance and IoT applications.
