Freescale’s Flexis™ AC family of MCUs lets you design more cost-effective solutions into environments where electromagnetic interference has traditionally been an issue. The 8-bit MC9S08AC128 and 32-bit ColdFire® MCF51AC256 devices strike the ideal balance between price and power efficiency for appliance and industrial applications that operate in noisy environments

Ensuring compatible operation in increasingly severe electro-magnetic environments is making new product development a more difficult task. The AC family can help ease the pain.

• Industry-leading EMC/EMI performance gives you piece of mind when designing products subjected to noisy environments
• True 5 V operation allows you to reduce component costs and decrease total time to market
• Energy efficient operating modes (stop, wait) enable you to design green applications without changing the system voltage profile

The intelligently designed peripheral mix for Flexis AC products is ideal for motor control in appliances and industrial applications.

• Advanced timing units provide for more precise motor control
• ColdFire MCF51AC256 controller features a CAN bus for network connectivity plus the ability to synchronize the analog-to-digital converter and FlexTimer for best-in-class motor control
• Watchdog timer with an independent clock prevents runaway code caused by noise spikes, EMC and voltage drops

And since AC controllers are all members of the Flexis series of MCUs, you can take advantage of the true compatibility between 8- and 32-bit devices to migrate from one MCU to another.

• S08 AC family members are pin, peripheral and tool compatible with ColdFire V1 AC family members
• A single CodeWarrior™ for Microcontrollers development studio supports the entire AC family to help make the development process as simple as possible
• A full support and training ecosystem of reference designs, application notes, software examples and webcasts helps you get started on your new product development quickly

Speed, economy, intelligence, EMC/EMI performance and seamless migration – the Flexis AC family of MCUs is the ideal solution for your appliance and industrial control designs.
