Kit Overview

The TWR-MCF51QM module is part of the Freescale Tower System (TWR-MCF51QM-KIT ), a modular development platform that enables rapid prototyping and tool re-use through reconfigurable hardware. Take your design to the next level and begin constructing your Tower System today. The TWR-MCF51QM tower system can operate as a standalone debug tool and can be purchased separately as a kit, part number TWR-MCF51QM-KIT , including the TWR-MCF51QM module, TWR-PROTO and TWR-ELEV .

The TWR-MCF51QM can function as a stand-alone, low-cost platform for the evaluation of the ColdFire+ MCF51QU, MCF51QH, MCF51QF, and MCF51QM microcontroller (MCU) devices. The TWR-MCF51QM features the MCF51QM, a ColdFire+ 32-bit microcontroller built on the Version 1 (V1) ColdFire core and enabled by innovative 90nm thin film storage (TFS) flash process technology with FlexMemory. The MCF51Qx families offer a rich combination of additive peripherals including high-precision analog, hardware encryption, an innovative touch sensing interface (TSI), and more.

The TWR-MCF51QM is available as a stand-alone product or as a kit (TWR-MCF51QM-KIT ) with the Tower Elevator Modules (TWR-ELEV ) and the Tower Prototyping Module (TWR-PROTO ). The TWR-MCF51QM can also be combined with other Freescale Tower peripheral modules to create development platforms for a wide variety of applications.
