Tiny 8-bit microcontroller

15 November 2017 DSP, Micros & Memory

NXP Semiconductors announced its smallest 8-bit S08 microcontroller (MCU) – the MC9S08PA4AVDC. Measuring just 3 x 3 x 0,9 mm, this new package helps address the growing challenge of shrinking PCB space for tomorrow's technologies, without increasing BOM costs. The MC9S08PA4AVDC can be used in various size-limited applications such as industrial control, BLDC motor control and Internet-of-Things (IoT) control that requires a tiny MCU.

The MC9S08PA4AVDC joins NXP's low-cost, high-performance HCS08 family of 8-bit microcontrollers. This new MCU leverages the enhanced HCS08 central processor and is available with a variety of peripherals, memory sizes and types. Featuring an 8-bit S08 core, the MCU reaches up to 20 MHz bus speed at 2,7 V to 5,5 V across the operating temperature range, offering more durability, flexibility and reliability in harsh industrial and user interface environments. The MCU also integrates up to 4 KB Flash, 128 Byte EEPROM and 512 Byte RAM in the single tiny package.

NXP's S08 microcontrollers, including the new MC9S08PA4AVDC, are supported by CodeWarrior IDE. MC9S08PT60 TWR system is a low-cost standalone demo board designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the MC9S08P family. It is pre-programmed with demos and enables quick and cost effective product evaluation and application development.
