Gleichmann Electronics has added six new MCUs to the 78K0/KY2-L and 78K0/KA2-L 8-bit microcontroller families and six extremely low power consumption 16-bit MCUs of the 78K0R-KF3-L and 78K0R/KG3-L series.

The new 8-bit MCUs, manufactured by NEC Electronics, feature a standby current consumption of 0.7 A and a low operating current of 260 A at 1 MHz clock frequency. An integrated high-speed oscillator and peripheral units such as A/D converter and operational amplifier reduces the need for additional external components.

The 16-bit versions are targeted for battery-operated sensor applications, and have an integrated high-speed A/D converter with many analog inputs. They have a current consumption of 1.0 A in standby mode with active watchdog and 6.8 mA at the maximum operating frequency of 20 MHz.
