Key Selection Factors
Processing Power
8-bit MCUs (SH79F series): Ideal for cost-sensitive applications with moderate computational needs like home appliances. 32-bit MCUs (SH32F series): Better for applications requiring more computational power, complex algorithms, or higher peripheral integration.
Power Consumption
For battery-powered applications, consider the power modes and consumption profiles of different devices. Our 32-bit MCUs offer advanced power management features for IoT applications, while 8-bit options provide excellent efficiency for continuously powered devices.
Peripherals & Integration
Evaluate the built-in peripherals like ADCs, PWM units, communication interfaces (UART, I2C, SPI), and specialized units (touch sensing, LCD drivers) that match your application needs.
Cost Considerations
Balance performance requirements with cost targets. Our SH79F series offers excellent cost-performance ratio for home appliances, while SH32F provides more features for more complex applications.
Supply & Availability
Consider long-term availability, supply stability, and lifecycle management. As an authorized distributor, we provide consistent supply for all Sinowealth products.
Development Resources
Evaluate the availability of development tools, documentation, and technical support. Sinowealth products are supported by standard development environments like Keil for 8-bit and ARM tools for 32-bit MCUs.
Product Comparison Tables
8-bit vs 32-bit MCU Selection
| Factor | 8-bit (SH79F) | 32-bit (SH32F) | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Processing Power | Moderate | High | Use 32-bit for complex algorithms |
| Power Consumption | Low to moderate | Moderate to low (with power modes) | Consider application needs |
| Cost | Lower | Higher | Balance performance vs budget |
| Peripherals | Basic to moderate | Rich peripheral set | Consider integration level needed |
| Development Complexity | Simple | Moderate | Factor in development resources |
BMS Selection by Application
| Application | Recommended Series | Key Features | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| E-bike | SH36700 | High precision, comprehensive protection | Market standard for e-bike applications |
| Power Tools | SH36700/SH36720 | High current capability | Choose based on cell count |
| Energy Storage | SH36750 | High cell count support | For 16S+ battery systems |
| Portable Devices | SH36720 | Low power, communication | For smart battery applications |
FAE Recommendation
For home appliance applications: The SH79F series provides the best cost-performance ratio, especially for applications like rice cookers, electromagnetic stoves, and air conditioners. For more complex IoT applications: Consider the SH32F series when you need more computational power, advanced communication features, or larger memory. For BMS applications, SH36700 is the standard choice for e-bike applications, while SH36720 is recommended for smart battery systems with communication requirements.
