Product details

Overview

DC9S08AC16 from Freescale Semiconductor is an evaluation kit board (DEMOAC platform) centered on the MC9S08AC16 8-bit microcontroller, featuring on-board USB-based BDM debug interface, 4 MHz crystal oscillator, pushbutton/LED I/O, potentiometer analog input, and MMA7260 3-axis accelerometer. It supports rapid firmware prototyping for low-power embedded control applications.

For engineers reviewing the DC9S08AC16 datasheet, DC9S08AC16 pinout, DC9S08AC16 application, or DC9S08AC16 equivalent, this page delivers verified hardware configuration details, MCU port signal mapping, Quick Start Application behavior, virtual serial port setup, and toolkit integration with CodeWarrior v6.1 and PEMicro Demo Board Toolkit.

Technical Context

The DC9S08AC16 is a complete DEMOAC baseboard configured for the MC9S08AC16 daughter card, enabling HCS08 core evaluation at 4 MHz via internal PLL or external crystal. It integrates embedded Multilink BDM circuitry compliant with P&E's USB debug standard and provides dual power options (USB or barrel-jack external supply).

MCU port connector J1–J2 (80-pin) exposes all HCS08AC16 peripheral signals including FTM, ADC, SCI, SPI, I²C, CAN, KBI, and GPIOs. On-board peripherals include potentiometer (ADC input), four user LEDs (PWM-driven), four tactile switches, and MMA7260 accelerometer interfaced via SPI and ADC channels.

FAQ

What is the DC9S08AC16 and how does it differ from a standard microcontroller IC?

The DC9S08AC16 is not a microcontroller IC but a complete evaluation board (DEMOAC baseboard) preconfigured for the MC9S08AC16 8-bit MCU daughter card. Unlike bare ICs, DC9S08AC16 includes USB BDM debug hardware, accelerometers, LEDs, switches, potentiometer, crystal oscillator, and power management jumpers - enabling immediate out-of-box firmware testing without external hardware.

Which software tools are required to use the DC9S08AC16, and are they still supported?

DC9S08AC16 requires CodeWarrior for Microcontrollers v6.1, MC9S08AC128 Service Pack, and PEMicro Demo Board Toolkit (v2.x). While legacy, these tools remain functional on Windows 7/10 via compatibility mode and driver signing overrides. NXP maintains archived downloads for CodeWarrior v6.1 and associated service packs on its official support portal.

Does the DC9S08AC16 support CAN communication, and if so, how is it implemented?

Yes, the DC9S08AC16 supports CAN via the MC9S08AC16's on-chip MSCAN module. Pins PTA0 (TxCAN) and PTA1 (RxCAN) are routed to the MCU port connector (J1 pins 26 and 28), allowing connection to external CAN transceivers. The board itself does not include a physical CAN transceiver; users must add one externally to enable bus-level CAN communication.

How is the MMA7260 accelerometer interfaced on the DC9S08AC16, and what data format does it output?

The MMA7260 on DC9S08AC16 connects via SPI (MOSI/MISO/SPSCK) and uses two ADC channels for self-test and bias monitoring. Acceleration data is sampled by the MCU, converted to ASCII, and streamed over the virtual serial port (CDC class) as comma-separated X/Y/Z values - directly consumable by the included Accelerometer Demo Grapher utility in the PEMicro Toolkit.

Can the DC9S08AC16 be used with modern IDEs like MCUXpresso or Eclipse-based tools?

No - DC9S08AC16 is exclusively supported by CodeWarrior v6.1 and legacy P&E tooling. MCUXpresso does not support HCS08 architecture or the BDM protocol used by DC9S08AC16. Migration to newer platforms requires switching to NXP's S32K or Kinetis families with updated evaluation boards and toolchains.
