Built tough, ideal for harsh industrial environments
The new 5V 8-bit S08P MCU family is built tough, ideal for harsh industrial and touch sensitive environments, helping your designs to be more durable and reliable.
Overview
Freescale’s 8-bit S08P microcontroller (MCU) family gives your designs more durability and reliability in both harsh industrial and user interface environments while meeting appliance safety standard IEC60730. The S08P family is simple, yet powerful, and offers exceptional EFT/ESD performance. This scalable and pin-compatible MCU family reuses the existing S08 core, IP and tools for easy migration from existing 8-bit S08 products. Furthermore, S08P MCUs integrate key features, including a touch-sensing interface (TSI), EEPROM and motor control FlexTimer to simplify designs and help reduce system costs.
