MC9S12XA512CAG Description
The MC9S12XD family will retain the low cost, power consumption, EMC, and code-size efficiency advantages currently enjoyed by users of Freescale's existing 16-Bit MC9S12 MCU Family. Based on an enhanced S12 core, the MC9S12XD family will deliver 2 to 5 times the performance of a 25-MHz S12 whilst retaining a high degree of pin and code compatibility with the S12. The MC9S12XD family introduces the performance-boosting XGATE module. Using enhanced DMA functionality, this parallel processing module offloads the CPU by providing high-speed data processing and transfer between peripheral modules, RAM, Flash EEPROM, and I/O ports. Providing up to 80 MIPS of performance added to the CPU, the XGATE can access all peripherals, Flash EEPROM, and the RAM block.
