Striking the ideal balance between EMC/EMI (5V) performance, cost and power consumption

 

Ideal for Industrial

Advanced system protection features allow for the design of more robust and reliable systems

• Industry leading EMC/EMI (5V) performance gives customers piece of mind when designing products for operation in noisy environments
• True 5V operation allows system designers to create cost effective systems by reducing component cost and decreasing the total time to market. Discrete power supplies and single layer boards are still an option
• Energy efficient operating modes (stop, wait) allow for the design of “green” applications without changing the system’s voltage profile
• Features such as active power-on reset, low voltage detection and low voltage warning protect against system failure due to brownouts
• The Flexis AC family helps customers comply with the IEC 60730 legislation on the safe and reliable operation of electronic controls in household appliances

 

Intelligent Peripheral Mix

AC controllers offer an advanced peripheral set to improve performance, reducing both external component count and overall cost

• Peripheral mix was intelligently designed to be ideal for motor control applications in white goods and industrial applications
• The Flexis AC controllers feature advanced timing units, 3xTPMs on 9S08AC128 and the FlexTimer on the MCF51AC256 for more precise motor control
• MCF51AC256 features a CAN bus for network connectivity and the ability to synchronize the ADC and the FlexTimer for best in class motor control
• The Watchdog timer (COP Module) with an independent clock, prevents runaway code caused by noise spikes, EMC and/or voltage drops
• The Cycle Redundancy Check (CRC Engine) adds security to network protocols like CAN, allowing fast testing of flash memory

 

True Compatibility

The freedom to migrate easily between 8-bit and 32-bit through software and hardware compatibility

• Expanding the “connection point” of the Controller Continuum, the AC family is the third in the Flexis series, providing true compatibility between 8- and 32-bit microcontrollers
• S08 AC family members are pin, peripheral and tool compatible with ColdFire V1 AC family members, providing a seamless migration path from 8-bit to 32-bit
• All Flexis AC family devices (spanning from AC8 to AC256) offer pin, peripheral and software compatibility with the 9S08AW MCUs, increasing your design-in options
• A single CodeWarrior for Microcontrollers Development Studio supports the entire AC Family, making the development process simple
• A full support and training ecosystem of reference designs, application notes, software examples and webcasts helps you get started quickly

Cost Effective Development Tools

 

DEMOACKIT

It is a flexible and cost effective demonstration kit for the Flexis AC device family. The DEMOACKIT contains daughter cards for both the MC9S08AC128CLKE (S08) and the MCF51AC256CLKE (ColdFire V1) processor. It features a ZIF socket, a built-in USB BDM, LEDs, a serial port, an acceleration sensor and an I/O header. This kit comes complete with everything you need to get your board up and running quickly and easily.

 

DEMOACEX

An expansion board that plugs into the DEMOACKIT and provides additional functionality such as a large prototype area that allows for the surface mount of SOICs and TSSOPs, a CAN Phy and 12 additional LEDs. The DEMOACEX also contains Freescale touch sensing technology with 1 rotary sensor and 7 button sensors.
