Toshiba’s ARM Core-Based Microcontrollers
ARM Core-Based Microcontrollers Proven in the Global Market
Microcontrollers with an ARM core are becoming increasingly popular not only for cell phone applications but also for
general-purpose applications. Toshiba is the first Japanese vendor to release general-purpose microcontrollers with an
ARM CortexTM-M3 core. Our product lineup includes microcontrollers with a broad spectrum of peripherals.

Features of the TX03 Series
The TX03 microcontroller series embeds an ARM CortexTM-M3 core, which provides high code density and fast interrupt
response times required for real-time applications. The TX03 Series also incorporates a Toshiba-proprietary NANO FLASHTM
memory featuring high capacity and low power consumption.
