# Toshiba TXZ+ microcontroller product launch > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/toshiba-txz-microcontroller-product-launch > Updated: 2026-08-20T07:04:41.000Z. Sources: 2. Developments: 2. Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation announced the launch of its TXZ+ Family Entry-Class M4V and M4L Group microcontrollers. These Arm Cortex-M4 based devices, operating at up to 80 MHz, are designed for IoT, industrial equipment, and motor control applications. The M4V group focuses on standard IoT and industrial use, featuring a multilayered security architecture to prevent unauthorized access and program tampering. The M4L group is optimized for motor control, incorporating dedicated hardware accelerators—including the Advanced Vector Engine (A-VE2), Advanced Programmable Motor Driver (A-PMD2), and Advanced Encoder (A-ENC2)—to offload real-time field-oriented control tasks. Both groups support firmware-over-the-air (FOTA) updates and include security features such as Chip Protection (CPRO), Secure Access Memory (SAM), and Non-Rewritable Flash Protection (NRFP). Toshiba has commenced volume production and sampling for these microcontrollers. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-20: Toshiba launches Arm Cortex-M4 microcontrollers for motor control Toshiba has launched its TXZ+ Family Arm Cortex-M4 microcontrollers, designed for real-time motor control in industrial, consumer, and IoT applications with integrated security and hardware acceleration. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/toshiba-launches-arm-cortex-m4-microcontrollers-for-motor-control ### 2026-08-05: Toshiba launches TXZ+ M4V microcontrollers for IoT and motor control Toshiba unveiled TXZ+ M4V microcontrollers with Arm Cortex‑M4 cores, up to 80 MHz, enhanced security and data‑management, and a motor‑control‑focused M4L variant featuring hardware accelerators, OTA updates and 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/toshiba-launches-txz-m4v-microcontrollers-for-iot-and-motor-control --- Cite as: Toshiba TXZ+ microcontroller product launch.
