Toshiba expands lineup of ApP Lite processor series for wearable applications

Toshiba Corporation today announced the launch of the "TZ1201XBG". This is an application processor for wearables and is the latest addition to its family of Internet Protocol (IoT) ApP LiteTM products. Sample shipments of the TZ1201XBG ApP Lite processor will begin in April and volume production is scheduled to start in the summer of 2016. The TZ1201XBG will be on display at the 2016 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, USA from January 6th to January 9th.

The TZ1201XBG integrates an ARM® Cortex®-M4F processor that is designed to consume 78 microamps per megahertz (MHz) in normal operation. This component is used in conjunction with power management software for a pulse measurement application with a 200mAh battery for about a week and for a watch application for about a month.

The TZ1201XBG's dedicated 2D graphics accelerator reduces CPU utilization and power consumption while supporting the smooth running of the graphical user interface (GUI). The integrated audio interface for voice commands [1] and voice trigger processing [2] and the 2D graphics accelerator ensure a high level of user experience.

Compared to previous models, the improved high-precision analog front-end circuit (AFE) can measure extremely weak signals (about 10 microvolts), such as EEG or EMG (brain and myoelectric scans, respectively), and impedance. Use this to determine the pressure level by calculating the skin resistance. The AFE supports multiple sensing of up to 4 channels of voltage/current/impedance with minimal external components. With integrated software and multiple services, data measured by AFE can be used to develop new applications and create new target markets.

In addition to the 2.2MB integrated high-capacity SRAM, the TZ1201XBG includes the e•MMCTM[3]/SDIO interface and supports external memory ICs such as SPI, NOR, SPI NAND, and e•MMCTM. This support gives designers the flexibility to specify the most appropriate memory IC and capacity for their devices. Combined with an embedded data compressor, the TZ1201XBG supports long-term, high-capacity data storage without the need for frequent data uploads.
