With the addition of the 9S08QE32/16, the QE
family of microcontrollers in now complete.
Achieving raw performance is no longer the number
one issue - it’s now “performance within an
energy budget.” Freescale understands this
challenge and offers a wide portfolio of S08
devices that help you reach target performance
levels while minimizing low-power in your design.
The QE family demonstrates extreme energy
efficiency for ultra long operating life in battery-powered
applications.
The QE32 provides great flexibility for customers
to balance performance and power consumption.
The QE32 offers low-power features such as
two ultra low-power stop modes, low-power
run and wait modes, 6µsec wake-up time, ultra
low-power external oscillator and clock gating
registers to disable clocks to unused peripherals.

- Accuracy and full functionality guaranteed across 1.8V to 3.6V operating voltage of the MCU
|
- Timer - One 6-channel (TPM3) and two 3-channel (TPM1 and TPM2); selectable input capture, output compare, or buffered edge- or center-aligned PWM on each channel
|
- Three TPMs allow for three different time bases, with a total of twelve timer channels
|
- 2 x Serial Communications Interface (SCI) - Two SCI interface modules with optional 13-bit break; offer LIN master/slave extended break generation
|
- Have two SCI allows two separate dedicated devices
- Allows full-duplex, asynchronous, NRZ serial communication between MCU and remote devices
- Edge interrupt can wake up MCU from low-power mode
|
- Two analog comparators with option to compare to an internal reference - output can be optionally routed to timer/pulse width modulator (PWM) as input capture trigger
|
- Requires only single pin for input signal, freeing additional pins for other use
- Allows other components in system to see result of comparator with minimal delay
- Can be used for single slope ADC and RC time constant measurements
|
- Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) - one module with full-duplex or single-wire bidirectional; double-buffered transmit and receive; master or slave mode; MSB-first or LSB-first shifting

|
- I2C with up to 100kbps with maximum bus loading; multi-master operation; programmable slave address; interrupt-driven byte-by-byte data transfer; supports broadcast mode and 10-bit addressing
|
- I2C port enables increased system memory by using an additional I2C EEPROM. This also creates an opportunity to add an additional I2C device.
|
| Input/Output |
- 40 General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO), including one input-only and one output-only pin
|
