8-bit General Purpose GT MCUs

S08GT Active

The MC9S08GT family are cost-effective, high-performance S08 general purpose 8-bit microcontrollers. All MCUs in the family use the enhanced S08 core and are available with a variety of modules, memory sizes, memory types and package types.

Additionally, the MC9S08GT16A and MC9S08GT8A series of microcontrollers further extend the GT family to smaller memory sizes, while maintaining higher end functionality often associated with more expensive parts. MC9S08GT16A doubles the RAM of its predecessor. An additional option is offered for those customers requiring an 8 KB flash part.

Timer with Five Programmable Channels

  • 1 x 3 channel, 1 x 2 channel, 16-bit timer systems
  • Each channel programmable for
    • Input capture, output compare or buffered pulse-width modulator (PWM)
    • PWM can be edge- or center-aligned
  • 16-bit free-running or up/down (CPWM) count operation
  • Flexible, programmable timer system

Extensive Serial Communications

  • Selectable low-voltage detect/reset at nominal 1.8V
  • Low-battery warning at nominal 2.4V or 2.1V
  • COP watchdog timer
  • Loss of clock detect (LOCD) (with option to disable for lower power consumption)

Up to 39 Input/Output (I/O) Lines

  • Programmable pull-ups
  • High-current drivers
  • Eight keyboard interrupts
  • Controlled rise/fall times minimize noise
