Abstract
Flash-MCU, micro-controller with embedded flash memory storage (eFlash), has seen a tremendous up-surge in real-time control application markets, with assumed 15-20% CAGR. The programmable code storage provided by eFlash contributes to production cost reduction and real-time adaptive control applications, realizing a value innovation with remarkable cost/value advantage. The diversified advanced eFlash technology for converging flash-MCU products challenges new market drivers like automotive and smart-IC cards. Current status and future directions of flash-MCU with evolution of LSI by programmability functions are also reviewed.
