Instrument Cluster MCUs|16-bit MCUs

For best experience this site requires Javascript to be enabled. To enable on your browser, follow our accessibility instructions.

The MCS12H-Family of MCUs has the on-chip peripherals needed for your automotive instrumentation designs.

In addition, they feature a motor pulse width modulator (MC) module consisting of up to 24 high-current outputs suited to drive up to six stepper motors and on selected devices, up to four stepper stall detectors (SSD) to simultaneously calibrate the pointer reset position of each motor.

The MCS12H-Family has full 16-bit data paths throughout and the inclusion of a PLL circuit allows power consumption and performance to be adjusted.

In addition to the I/O ports available in each module, up to 14 I/O ports are available with Key-Wake-Up capability from STOP or WAIT mode.
