Freescale Semiconductor announced two new families of five-volt (5V) 8-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) with excellent durability and reliability for industrial and automotive applications. Scalable and compatible with existing devices, these easy-to-use, entry-level MCUs are designed to help OEMs get to market quicker with a lower bill of materials.
The S08P MCU family contains three classes of devices (PT, PA and PL) and is compliant with the IEC-60730 safety standard for household appliances. It delivers exceptional electrical fast transient/electrostatic discharge (EFT/ESD) performance to withstand the harsh and noisy environments of appliances, uninterruptable power supplies, HVAC systems, smart lighting and building controls, smart meters and general industrial control applications.
The S08RN MCU family is AEC-Q100-compliant and qualified up to 125°C ambient temperatures. With advanced mixed-signal features tailored for automotive applications, the S08RN family is ideally suited for touch control, lighting, power conversion/motor control, LIN nodes, sensor or actuator nodes and other electronics applications within the vehicle.
