ColdFire

®

Embedded Controllers

Overview

F

urther expanding Freescale’s offering

of 32-bit Flash-based microcontrollers

based on the ColdFire

®

architecture,

the MCF5214 and MCF5216 combine

a popular set of control peripherals with

a selection of communications interfaces.

The control peripherals include a 10-bit

analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for

interfacing to various sensors and several

timer modules for external event

measurement, control of drivers and

actuators, generation of analog outputs

and internal software timing.

The communications peripherals enable

easy connection to other systems.

Three universal asynchronous

receiver/transmitters (UARTs) enable

medium to long distance communication

to other control systems or computers.

An inter-integrated circuit (I

2

C) and

serial peripheral interface (SPI) enable

in-system communication to additional

peripherals and systems such as LCD

displays and keyboards. The Controller

Area Network (CAN) interface supports

industrial and medical control buses

and protocols such as DeviceNet

and CANopen.

ColdFire Answers New Market Trends

D

esigners have indicated that component

availability with the right level of integration

is one of the most critical design challenges

causing changes in processor selection

today. Freescale Semiconductor continues

to anticipate market demands with its

ColdFire architecture by offering a family of

integrated solutions. This family offers built-in

versatility to address a variety of new and

emerging markets that are driving the growth

of low-cost, high-volume embedded control.

Tools Support for Fast Development

T

he ColdFire Family benefits from

extensive support by a world-class

development tools suite through leading

third-party tools developers.

The CodeW

arrior™ for ColdFire development

tools suite from Metrowerks includes a

compiler, assembler, debugger, project

manager and build system. A trial version of

the tools is provided with the development kit.
