Freescale is offering a comprehensive support and training ecosystem of development tools, reference designs, application notes, software examples and webcasts to support its Flexis AC microcontroller family.
To help developers get their boards up and running quickly and easily, Freescale offers the DEMOACKIT, a flexible and cost-effective evaluation system for the Flexis AC family. The kit contains the 8- and 32-bit Flexis AC daughter cards and includes a built-in USB BDM, LEDs, a serial port, an acceleration sensor and an I/O header. Also available is the DEMOACEX expansion board, which plugs into the DEMOACKIT and allows developers to take advantage of the additional performance and integration features, such as CAN, offered by the 32-bit solution.
The Flexis AC MCUs are supported by a complimentary version of CodeWarrior Development Studio for Microcontrollers v6.1, an integrated tool suite that supports software development for Freescale’s 8-bit or 32-bit MCUs. Designers can further accelerate applications development with the help of the Processor Expert tool, a rapid application development tool in the CodeWarrior tool suite.
The product range features 8-bit devices and 32-bit V1 ColdFire MCUs designed to provide exceptional EMC/EMI performance and an array of on-chip peripherals to help reduce component count, system complexity and overall system cost. As the third member of Freescale’s Flexis series of 8- to 32-bit pin-, peripheral- and software-compatible MCUs, the AC family offers an upward migration path from existing Freescale 8-bit MC9S08AW products.
The microcontrollers make a good choice for single-chip motor control and human-machine interface (HMI) solutions in white goods applications, such as washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers and other major appliances. The product family is also scalable and flexible enough to meet the needs of a wide range of general industrial applications, from factory automation to building control to HVAC systems. The devices’ excellent EMC/EMI performance at 5 V enables designers to create cost-effective and electromagnetically quieter systems by reducing the number of required external components for these applications.
