Microcontrollers have many on-board peripherals

Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team Dec 13, 2005

Low pin count microcontrollers is set to redefine the low-end microcontroller market with the number and variety of its onboard peripherals, whilst maintaining low power consumption and low cost.

Farnell InOne, international distributor of electronic and industrial components and the number one source for RoHS compliant products and information, is bringing Freescale's new family of low pin count microcontrollers to market - the MC09S08QG range.

The range of low pin count microcontrollers from Freescale Semiconductor, the leading worldwide supplier of 8-bit microcontrollers, adds a sophisticated and affordable microcontroller to the Freescale range of products stocked with Farnell InOne.

The new MC09S08QG range brings to market a microcontroller that considers parameters such as power consumption and board space.

The new range is set to redefine the low-end microcontroller market with the sheer number and variety of its onboard peripherals, whilst maintaining low power consumption and low cost.

This makes it ideally suited to handheld instrumentation devices, such as sensing systems and home appliances.

Jamie Furness, EDE sales and deployment manager EAPac, Farnell InOne, explained: "The partnerships Farnell InOne has built with leading manufacturers, ensure the latest cutting-edge technology is always available to our customers".

He continued: "We have responded to our customers' needs with broader, deeper ranges; ensuring that design engineers get access to products, such as the new Freescale range of microcontrollers, first.".
