MCUs provide low-cost processing power
Freescale Semiconductor has combined
its reduced-size RS08 8-bit CPU core with
low pin-count packaging to deliver a
low-power MCU with up to 18 user I/Os,
targeting ultra-low-end applications
including disposable devices.
The MC9RS08KA8 is available in 16-pin or
18-pin SOIC and PDIP packages, offering 14
or 18 I/Os respectively. Peripherals, including
a 12-channel 10-bit ADC and an integrated
analogue comparator, enable a cost-effective
solution to typical embedded processing
challenges. Other duties include logic
replacement, analogue-driver replacement
and line-voltage monitoring.
With bus speeds up to 10MHz, 8kbytes of
on-chip Flash memory and 254bytes of RAM,
the MC9RS08KA8 is able to execute valuable
functions in cost-sensitive products.
The freely-available CodeWarrior tool
provides further advantages for developers
looking to implement these capabilities in
low-cost applications.
A USB-powered demo board is also available,
to help engineers evaluate and debug new
designs quickly. The board also supports
programming of engineering prototypes.
