Freescale S08P : The new rugged 5V 8-bit Microcontroller family

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.

The scalable S08P family provides a wide range of feature/price options for product differentiation. Choose between the full-featured TSI (touch sensing interface) -enabled PT class, the equally full-featured PA class without TSI or the basic PL class for cost-sensitive applications.

The S08P family of MCUs includes drive strength control for EMI/EMC compliance, as well as filtering on I/O pins to help withstand noisy environments. Internal clock generators keep clock noise inside, while an independent hardware watchdog monitors the system. This family of MCUs also includes a built-in 16-bit CRC (programmable cyclic redundancy check module) engine for data validation. Integrated peripherals simplify PCB design, and combined with a broad portfolio of device options, result in reduced BOM costs.

In addition, the S08P family is supported by Freescale’s cost-effective Tower System development platform.
