Features

8-bit HCS08 Central Processor Unit (CPU)

Up to 8 MHz S08 CPU for 125 ns minimum instruction time
HC08 instruction set with added background instruction
Support for up to 32 interrupt/reset sources
Supply voltage range of 2.7–5.5V

Integrated Third-Generation Flash Memory and RAM

Embedded flash that is in-application reprogrammable over the full operating voltage and temperature range with a single power supply

General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) Lines

Outputs 10 mA each; 100 mA max for package
Four general-purpose input output (GPIO)
One input-only and one output-only line
Software selectable pull-ups on ports when used as input; internal pull-up on reset and interrupt request (IRQ) pin
Software selectable slew rate control and drive strength on ports when used as output
4-pin keyboard interrupt module with software selectable polarity on edge or edge/ level modes
1-ch. timer/pulse-width modulator; each channel can be used for input capture, output compare, buffered edge-aligned PWM or buffered center-aligned PWM
Software-selectable pull-ups on ports when used as input; internal pull-up
Software-selectable slew rate control and drive strength on ports when used as output
Single-wire background debug interface
8-pin plastic dual-inline package (PDIP) and 8-pin narrow body small outline integrate circuit (SOIC) packages
Internal pull-up on reset and IRQ pin

Integrated Analog Peripherals

ADC channel connected to on-chip temperature sensor
Automatic compare function, software programmable for greater-than, equal-to or less-than conditions
Asynchronous clock source
Temperature sensor
Internal bandgap reference channel
Hardware triggerable using the real-time interrupt counter
Low-power and high-speed options
Can be used for single slope APC and resistance-capacitance time
Easy interface to analog inputs/sensors
Used to set conversion complete and generate interrupt only when result matches condition

Flexible Clock Options

Internal clock source module containing a frequency-locked loop controlled by internal reference

Two Timer Modules

Programmable 16-bit timer/PWM (TPM) module
2-ch. TPM; each channel can be used for input capture, output compare, buffered edge-aligned pulse width modulation (PWM) or buffered center-aligned PWM
1 x 2-ch., 16-bit timer
1 x 1-ch., 16-bit timer

System Protection

Watchdog computer operating properly reset with option to run from dedicated 1 kHz internal clock source or bus clock
