Freescale 8-bit microcontroller family grows to address entry-level mass market
Latest additions to KA MCU family designed to enhance integration and performance for consumer and industrial applications
Freescale Semiconductor has added two devices to its ultra-low-end 8-bit RS08KA microcontroller (MCU) family. Freescale’s MC9RS08KA8 (KA8) and MC9RS08KA4 (KA4) MCUs are designed for applications with space and price constraints, such as home appliances and portable medical equipment.
The MC9RS08KA8/4 devices offer a robust support environment and a pin-compatible route into MC9S08QG/SH and MC9S08QA4/2 devices for designers who need to add new functionality to their designs. Shared peripherals and a common set of development tools help make the KA8/4 devices easy for engineers to leverage for their design investment.
The KA8/4 devices feature standard on-chip modules including a very small and highly efficient RS08 CPU core, up to 254B RAM,, up to 8KB flash and an analog-to-digital (ADC) converter (available on the KA8), providing customers with a higher level of integration.
