ColdFire® MCF51QE32 Family - New Ultra Low Power Devices

The MCF51QE32 microcontrollers, part of the Flexis QE family, extend the low end of the ColdFire embedded controller family with 32KB of Flash memory and 8KB of SRAM. Based on the V1 ColdFire core, these devices offer a core performance of up to 46MIPS at 50MHz. The MCF51QE32 family also offers industry leading ultra low power features to help minimize operating costs and extend battery life. These devices can run off an external 32kHz oscillator, consuming less than 1µA of current. Very fast wake up from stop modes with typical wake up time of 6µs is possible due to an internal voltage regulator. Stop modes consume very little power, e.g. only 370nA of current consumed in the lowest power stop mode. Clock gating can also be used to disable clocks to unused modules, further reducing runmode power consumption by as much as 33%.
