Mixed-signal microcontrollers suit diverse automotive and industrial needs

Freescale S12ZVL MagniV mixed-signal microcontrollers are now available from Mouser. The automotive-grade 16-bit MCU family uses 180nm NVM + UHV technology that offers the capability to integrate 40V analog components. The family offers many features from the proven S12 portfolio. The particular differentiating features of this family are the enhanced S12Z core and the integration of 'high-voltage' analog modules, including the voltage regulator (VREG) and a Local Interconnect Network (LIN) physical layer. The S12ZVL family includes error correction code (ECC) on RAM, FLASH and EEPROM for diagnostic or data storage, a fast analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a frequency modulated phase-locked loop (IPLL) that improves the EMC performance. The S12ZVL-Family delivers an optimized solution with the integration of several key system components into a single device, optimizing system architecture and achieving significant space savings. Typical applications include HVAC, LIN nodes, LIN user interface, LIN actuators, sensors, ambient lighting control, seat positioning, industrial systems and lighting control.
