Overview of features
The Adapt9S12XDP microcontroller module comes equipped with a variety of interfaces and on-chip resources. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Maximum bus speed: 40 MHz for S12X CPU, 80 MHz for XGATE coprocessor.
- Memory resources: 512 KB Flash, 4 KB EEPROM, 32 KB RAM
- Operating voltage: either direct 5 VDC at 100 mA, or 6-12 VDC at 150 mA
- Communications interfaces: two RS232C, two CAN, and one RS485
- User LED: red LED on Port P bit 7 available for application use.
- On-chip serial monitor: adaptation of popular Freescale AN2548 serial monitor programmed into top 2 KB of Flash. This has been specially modified for use on the S12XDP CPU.
- Factory-installed Demo program: demonstrates some of the Adapt9S12XDP module capabilities.
- BDM connector: this 10 pin standard header connector allows the use of a separate BDM pod for debugging programs in real-time, and for programming all Flash and EEPROM memories. Supports 6-pin and 10-pin BDM pods.
- Expansion connectors: these two 50-pin standard connectors enable additional external hardware to be connected to the board.
