NXP introduced the minimum 8-bit S08 microcontroller for the general market

NXP's new 3 x 3 x 0.9 mm package S08 MCU further expands its S08 MCU product family to meet the broad market demand for miniature 8-bit MCUs

This product is available in a new package measuring only 3 x 3 x 0.9 mm, helping to overcome the technical challenges of shrinking PCB space for future technologies without increasing BOM cost. The MC9S08PA4AVDC can be used in a variety of size-restricted applications that require the use of miniature MCUs such as industrial control, BLDC motor control and Internet of Things (IoT) control.

The new MCU features an enhanced HCS08 central processor and offers a variety of peripherals, memory capacities and product types. With an 8-bit S08 core, the MC9S08PA4AVDC MCU operates over the full temperature range (operating voltage range 2.7V to 5.5V) with a bus frequency of up to 20 MHz for greater ruggedness and flexibility in demanding industrial and user interface environments. And reliability. In addition, the MCU integrates up to 4KB of flash memory, 128 bytes of EEPROM and 512 bytes of RAM into a single chip.

NXP's S08 microcontrollers (including the latest MC9S08PA4AVDC) can use CodeWarrior as an independent development tool (IDE). The MC9S08PT60 Tower System (TWR) is a low-cost stand-alone demonstration board designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the MC9S08P family. It is pre-built with a demo program that enables cost-effective and fast product evaluation and application development.

NXP is expanding its 8-bit MCU market. This new micro-package is available in a timely manner, which will help customers save system size and BOM cost when developing new solutions.
