Freescale introduces the first S08 ultra-low-power MCU with LCD driver. The MC9S08LL16/8 helps you reach your target performance levels while minimizing power consumption in your design, demonstrating extreme energy efficiency for ultra long operation in battery powered applications. The S08LL16 (LL16) microcontroller offers two ultra-low-power stop modes, new low-power run and wait modes, six microsecond wake-up time, ultra-low-power external oscillator and clock gating registers to disable clocks to unused peripherals.

The LL family also provides design flexibility with a large segment-based (8 x 24) driver and an integrated charge pump to provide a true system-on-chip.

 

FEATURES S08 central processor unit (CPU) Power saving features Two ultra-low-power stop modes, one of which allows limited use of peripherals New low-power run and wait modes 6µs typical wake-up time from stop mode Internal clock source (ICS) - module containing a frequency-locked loop (FLL) controlled by internal or external reference Ultra-low-power oscillator (OSC) Clock gating disables clocks to unused peripherals LCD driver and internal charge pump On-chip memory Up to 16kB flash read/program/erase over full operating voltage and temperature 1.8V to 3.6V RAM

Freescale introduces the first RS08 cost effective MCUs with LCD drivers. The highly integrated but extremely low cost MC9RS08LA8 and MC9RS08LE4 MCUs are intended for small appliances, medical equipment and other industrial and multi-market applications. The LA and LE families provide design flexibility with a large segment-based (8x mode) driver and an integrated charge pump to provide true system-on-chip functionality.

Flexible, Scalable, Compatible – with Ultra Low-Power Options

On November 5, 2008 at FTF in Beijing, Freescale introduced a trio of 8-bit MCU families (S08LL, RS08LA, RS08LE). The L family has industry leading LCD capabilities, including the ability to drive more segments with fewer pins (up to 8x mode). In addition, the S08LL family offers best-in-class, ultra low-power performance.

The L family will offer industry leading advanced key features for consumer and industrial markets

• Full range portfolio, with pin compatibility options and shared peripherals
• Frontplane and backplane reassignment simplifies PCB layout and EMI optimization
• LCD driver support for up to 8 backplanes to drive more segments with fewer pins
• LCD blink mode without waking up the controller, which lowers power consumption
• S08 LCD family offers best-in-class, ultra low-power performance and contrast control
