Embedded Controllers

Fact Sheet

Overview

The marketplace for lower-end connectivity and

control applications is at a crossroads. The

demand for improved performance is pushing

developers to the 32-bit microprocessor, while

the stringent low power and low cost restrictions

remain paramount in the development process.

Freescale Semiconductor gives the product

designer the opportunity to drive straight-ahead

with the next-generation of MCF520x ColdFire

®

embedded controllers. The MCF5207 and

MCF5208 embedded controllers combine

exceptional performance and integration with

low-power characteristics and system cost

efficiencies. Built with the Version 2 ColdFire core,

these two embedded controllers deliver 159 MIPS

(Dhrystone 2.1) at 166 MHz and include the

enhanced multiply-accumulate (eMAC) unit,

resulting in DSP-like functionality. Furthermore,

these devices are optimized for low-power

applications with several low-power modes

and a low-frequency clock divider.

Big Punch, Small Cost

Adding advanced capabilities to the breadth of

ColdFire devices, the MCF5207 and MCF5208

embedded controllers start at a suggested resale

of US$4.99 in 10,000 piece quantities. Answering

the call for low system cost, the new devices

each feature a flexible memory controller, allowing

the options of attaching a combination of

external SRAM, Flash memory and a choice of

single-data rate (SDR), double-data rate (DDR)

or mobile-double-data rate (M-DDR) SDRAM

memory. The MCF5207 and MCF5208 embedded

controllers integrate the standard ColdFire

communications peripherals, including three

universal asynchronous receiver/transmitters

(UARTs) for medium and long distance

connections, an inter-integrated circuit (I

2

C) and

queued serial peripheral interface (QSPI) for

in-system communication to connected peripherals.

In addition, the MCF5208 embedded controller

features a 10/100 Fast Ethernet Controller.

Delivering ColdFire

to Volume-Driven Markets

The MCF520x family of ColdFire

embedded controllers extends the long

and distinguished line of 68K and

ColdFire-based processors that dates

back to the introduction of the MC68000

in 1979. With the introduction of the

MCF5207 and MCF5208 embedded

controllers, Freescale enables a new

customer community to design volume

applications affordably and attractively

with 32-bit performance and integration.

Moreover, the seamless ColdFire roadmap

to the high end means customers can

continue to rely on the Freescale ColdFire

Family across their entire product offerings.

Freescale’s dedication to the ColdFire

family of processors for control applications

means customers can feel secure that

they are designing in quality with a long

product lifetime.

Easy-to-Use Product

Development System

The cost-effective, fully functional and

easy-to-use M5208EVB development kit

simplifies MCF5207 and MCF5208

embedded controllers product development

and speeds customers to market. Each kit

includes open source software and a

CodeWarrior™ Special Edition suite for

ColdFire. The MCF5207 and MCF5208

embedded controllers also benefit from

extensive software support from Freescale’s

leading third-party tools partners. With a

suggested resale price of US$349, the

M5208EVB features full access to the

196-pin fully integrated MCF5208

embedded controller and integrates the

MC13192 ZigBee™-ready transceiver

with integrated antenna.
