Overview

Designed with automotive, robotics, mechatronics, and industrial applications in mind, this module implements a fully-functional 16-bit microcontroller circuit in a the classic Adapt11 form-factor. Based on the advanced 16-bit Freescale/NXP S12ZVC microcontroller, it offers unprecedented power and flexibility for a variety of applications, at a very attractive price. Suitable for educational and OEM applications.

The S12ZVC microcontroller integrates a sophisticated S12Z core together with a 12 V to 5 V voltage regulator and a CAN physical layer for automotive and industrial applications such as sensors, actuators, switch panels or other user interfaces.
