The Freescale University Program can make valuable resources available to you and your students. Tap into our Student Learning Kits (SLKs), which are comprehensive instructional solutions featuring evaluation boards, software, curricula, cables, power supplies and more. Accompanying the SLKs are reference materials highlighting textbooks, documentation and other information about architectures. Instructional Solutions 8/16-bit Architectures HCS08 8-bit Architecture Freescale’s popular HC08 8-bit Family provides high-performance solutions for a wide range of applications. The easy to use architecture helps to reduce development time while providing the performance required for today's products. In addition, HC08 microcontroller units (MCUs) provide a variety of integrated peripherals and cost-effective Flash technology that make them versatile enough to work with a range of designs. HCS12 16-bit Architecture The HCS12 16-bit Microcontroller Family is built around a powerful CPU that incorporates leading-edge, third-generation 0.25µ Flash technology. This indispensable family provides pin-compatible scalability from 32 KB to 512 KB of integrated Flash along with a wide variety of integrated peripherals. The HCS12 Family is ideal for an expansive number of industries and a myriad of applications, such as white goods, motor control, PC peripherals and general-purpose products. HCS12X 16-bit Architecture The cost-effective S12X Family will retain the power consumption, EMC and code-size efficiency advantages currently enjoyed by users of the existing 16-bit HCS12 MCU Family. Based on an enhanced HCS12 core, the S12XD Family is designed to deliver two to five times the performance of a 25 MHz HCS12 while retaining a high degree of pin- and code-compatibility with the HCS12. The S12XD Family introduces the performance boosting XGATE module. Using enhance DMA functionality, this parallel processing module offloads the CPU by providing high-speed data processing and transfer between peripheral modules, RAM and I/O ports. Providing up to 80 millions of instructions per second (MIPS) of additional performance to the CPU, the XGATE can access all peripherals and the RAM block. DSP56800/56800E 16-bit Hybrid Architecture Freescale’s 56800/56800E 16-bit Families feature a hybrid architecture, combining the computational power of a digital signal processor (DSP) with the control functionality of an MCU on a single chip. We specifically designed this hybrid family with Flash technology for flexibility in development, production and inventory. The 56800 Family is ideal for cost-sensitive applications requiring low- to mid-range MIPS performance, such as industrial instrumentation, telephony and automotive applications. The enhanced 56800E Family provides comprehensive systems solutions for applications requiring more processing muscle such as digital audio, telephony and advanced industrial control. 32-bit Architectures ColdFire® 5200 Family of PowerPC Wireless Microcontrollers 32-bit Architecture The ColdFire® Family combines both worlds of MPC500 Family of PowerPC® RISC and CISC computing engines. Based on MC13192 (ZigBee™-Ready Transceiver) Microcontrollers 32-bit Architectures the M68000 legacy which supports The MC13192 is a short-range, low-power, Each member of the growing MPC500 Family variable-length RISC technology, ColdFire 2.4 GHz industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) features a 32-bit PowerPC® reduced instruction combines the architectural simplicity of band transceiver which contains a complete set computer (RISC) core with a floating point conventional 32-bit RISC with a memory-saving, 802.15.4 physical layer (PHY) modem designed unit, Flash and RAM memory, and peripheral ® variable-length instruction set.
