Toshiba Debuts 1.8V 16-bit MPU for Digital Audio

Tokyo, Japan -- Toshiba Corp. has developed a new 16-bit dedicated microprocessor for portable CD players and digital audio applications that significantly cuts power consumption and promotes longer battery life.

The new product, using the company's TLCS-900/ L1 as a processor core, operates on only a 1.8-volt power source, guaranteeing longer battery life in a number of portable digital audio applications.

It will be made available in two versions, one integrating a MASK ROM type (TMP91CW28F), the other NOR-type flash memory (TMP91FY28F), both with built-in a Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) addition/subtraction circuit to support ease of control for electrical shock proof (ESP) and reinforce reliability in portable CD players.

Samples of both TMP91CW28F and TMP91FY28F will be available in the end of March 2003.
