Introduction

1.2 Freescale’s New Generation Ultra Low Cost MCU

The MC9RS08KA2 microcontroller unit (MCU) is an extremely low cost, small pin count device for home appliances, toys, and small geometry applications, such as a DC fan controller. This device is composed of standard on-chip modules including a very small and highly efficient RS08 CPU core, 62 bytes RAM, 2K bytes FLASH, an 8-bit modulo timer, keyboard interrupt, and analog comparator. The device is available in small 6- and 8-pin packages.

Features of the MC9RS08KA2 include:

8-bit RS08 core

Up to 10 MHz (bus frequency) at 1.8V for 100 ns minimum instruction time

RS08 instruction set

Supports tiny/short address mode

14-byte fast-access RAM

Allows emulation of HC08/HCS08 zero-offset index addressing mode instructions

Third-generation Flash and RAM (extremely fast, byte writable programming)

63 Byte RAM

2K Byte Flash

Flexible clock options

4 Bidirectional I/O lines with software selectable pull-up (eliminates need for external resistors)

Analog comparator

Real time interrupt

8-bit timer with 8-bit prescale

System protection

Resets in instance of runaways or corrupted code

Low voltage detection

Illegal opcode and illegal address detection

Flash security feature

Single wire debugging and emulation interface; eliminates need for expensive emulation tools or development hardware
