Overview
Freescale Semiconductor’s MC9S12A128
Flash microcontroller (MCU) is the next
generation of the highly successful
68HC12 architecture. Using Freescale’s
industry-leading 0.25 µs Flash, the A128 is
part of a pin-compatible family that scales
from 32 KB to 512 KB of Flash memory.
The MC9S12A128 provides an upward
migration path from Freescale’s 68HC08,
68HC11 and 68HC12 architectures for
applications that need larger memory,
more peripherals and higher performance.
Integrated Third-Generation Flash Memory
> Real-time in-circuit emulation and debug
without expensive and cumbersome
box emulators
> Read/write memory and registers while running
at full speed
> In-application reprogrammable
> Self-timed, fast programming
• Fast Flash page erase—20 ms
(512 bytes)
• Can program 16 bits in 20 µs while
in burst mode
> 5V Flash program/erase/read
> Flash granularity—512 byte Flash
erase/2 byte Flash program
> Two independently programmable
Flash arrays
> Flexible block protection and security
2 KB Integrated EEPROM
> Flexibility to change code in the field
> Efficient end-of-line programming
> Total program time for 128 KB code is less
than five seconds
> Reduces production programming cost
through ultra-fast programming
> No external high voltage or charge
pump required
> Virtual EEPROM implementation, Flash array
usable for EE extension
> Can erase one array while executing code
from another
