TWR-S08UNIV

TOWER SYSTEM 8-, 16- and 32-bit Microcontrollers/Microprocessors TWR-S08UNIV* Overview The TWR-S08UNIV provides a Freescale Tower System development solution for pre-existing S08 and RS08 devices, initially Universal Tower module for existing S08 and RS08 devices including the RS08KA family, the S08AC, QD, QE, QG and SH families. This combination of Tower module and attachable daughter cards provides an easy way to switch between different S08 and RS08 MCUs without purchasing the same development board over and over again. The TWR-S08UNIV also brings access to the growing Tower ecosystem to a set of MCUs previously supported only by traditional demo boards. TWR-S08UNIV Features • Tower system module is usable in either stand-alone mode or connected to a Tower System • Swappable MCU daughter cards that can be plugged into the main module (TWR-S08UNIV).
