MPC5500 Microcontrollers

Building on the award-winning design of its MPC500 Family, Freescale is introducing an advanced line of 32-bit microcontrollers, the MPC5500 Family. This family extends the MPC500 Family tradition of performance and integration that has become a standard in advanced automotive applications. The MPC5500 Family is expected to add the functionality and flexibility necessary for a wide range of automotive applications. All family members have a clear migration path between products, so customers can cost-effectively adopt or upgrade products as their needs change.

MPC5500 Family Benefits
  • Maximum upward compatibility with MPC5xx Family
  • Excellent functionality and performance
  • High level of flexibility
  • Commitment to automotive grade embedded Flash
  • Code compatibility and scalability among family members to help eliminate migration worries and offer software reuse
  • Package compatibility across family members

The MPC5500 Family offers system solutions that include application software, development tools, training, documentation and technical support. A simulation environment toolset is available now that is designed to enable migration to the MPC5500. The full production-ready tool suite will be available with silicon.
