Kinetis ARM Cortex-M4 Microcontrollers

32-bit Kinetis MCUs represent the most scalable portfolio of ARM® CortexTM-M4 MCUs in the industry. The first phase of the portfolio consists of five MCU families with over 200 pin-, peripheral- and software compatible devices with outstanding performance, memory and feature scalability. Enabled by innovative 90nm Thin Film Storage (TFS) flash technology with unique FlexMemory (configurable embedded EEPROM), Kinetis features the latest low-power innovations and high performance, high precision mixed-signal capability. Kinetis MCUs are supported by a market-leading enablement bundle from Freescale and ARM 3rd party ecosystem partners.

ColdFire® Embedded Controllers

Aggressive pricing and performance are in high demand, which is why we engineered the 68K/ColdFire family, of 32-bit embedded controllers. This natural extension of our 8- and 16-bit portfolio gives you the freedom to design with power, control and flexibility—all at a low cost.

The ColdFire product portfolio offers a wide mix of performance, price, integration and debugging capabilities for embedded designers looking to upgrade their systems. The ColdFire product development tools portfolio provides comprehensive system-level solutions and a vast selection of options for developers. Its integration possibilities are limited only by imagination, and its 20-year history of 68K legacy is something no other competitor can offer. With these features to work with, the ColdFire architecture is in a leadership position in the 32-bit embedded space. You are invited to become a part of its success.

Flexis™ Microcontroller Series

Identifying a solution that provides just the right performance at the best possible price is a continual challenge for designers. That's why we've created the Freescale Controller Continuum—the industry's first and only roadmap for compatible 8-bit and 32-bit architectures. The Controller Continuum offers step-wise compatibility across our portfolio of consumer and industrial microcontrollers (MCUs), with a common set of peripherals, tools and software to provide unbounded flexibility.

Eliminating traditional bit boundaries, the Controller Continuum allows easy migration between Freescale's 8-bit microcontroller family and our higher-performance 32-bit ColdFire devices. Designers can develop new applications using the same software and hardware development tools for both 8-bit and 32-bit MCUs, and as products mature, they can more easily scale to the next-generation offerings.


S08

High-performance and low power, the HCS08 family of microcontrollers does not sacrifice performance to provide low power 1.8 V operation.

HCS08 Features:

  • Multiple power management modes, including a 20 nanoamp (nA) power-down mode
  • A zero-component auto-wakeup from "stop" to help reduce costs and reduce power to 0.7 microamp (uA)
  • Up to 40 MHz CPU/20 MHz bus at 2.1 V and 16 MHz CPU/8 MHz bus at 1.8 V
  • A programmable internal clock generator with temperature and voltage compensation (typical drift < 2%) designed for reliable communications, faststart up and reduced system cost
  • In-application reprogramming and data storage via third-generation 0.25µ flash technology
  • High integration including four serial communication ports, up to 8 timer/PWMs, and an 8-channel 10-bit analog-to-digital converter specified down to 1.8 V

S12

The S12 is a 16-bit-based MCU family. These devices deliver the power and flexibility of a 16-bit core (CPU12) family to a whole range of general purpose Industrial and Automotive network applications. IAR Embedded Workbench for Freescale HCS12 IAR visualSTATE


MAC7100

The MAC7100 family of microcontrollers (MCUs) is a pin-compatible family of 32-bit memory-based devices developed specifically for embedded automotive applications. It addresses the growing demand for cost-effective 32-bit performance enhancements as traditional body, chassis and safety application exceed the performance scope of many 16-bit offerings.
