Microcontrollers and Microprocessors
Freescale is a world leader in embedded processing for the automotive, networking, consumer and industrial markets. We have put more silicon in automobiles than anyone else, and we're the number one supplier of communications processors, connecting billions of people to the Internet. We provide 8-, 16- and 32-bit solutions to customers worldwide, from 8-bit MCUs that are not much bigger than a pinhead to advanced multicore processors built on Power Architecture® technology.
8-bit Microcontrollers
Our portfolio of 8-bit MCUs provides a wide ranges of low-power, highly-functional solutions for industrial, consumer and automotive markets. From tiny RS08 devices to highly functional S08 controllers with LCD interfaces to ultra-low-power Flexis™ S08 MCUs that offer a connection point in the Controller Continuum to advanced 32-bit solutions, Freescale has the right 8-bit solutions for your applications.
16-bit Microcontrollers
Freescale S12 and S12X MCUs provide high-performance 16-bit control for automotive and industrial applications. The S12X MCUs feature the innovative XGATE module, designed specifically to handle interrupt events without CPU intervention. As a result, the S12X controller has the high-performance capabilities you would normally expect of a 32-bit controller. The 16-bit portfolio also includes a large family of digital signal controllers (DSCs), which combine microcontroller functionality with DSP performance. They are particularly well-suited for advanced motor control applications.
68K/ColdFire® Processors
The 32-bit ColdFire embedded controller architecture is unlike any other in the industry. The broad portfolio of devices offers an unparalleled range of performance and peripheral options, including one of the lowest power 32-bit MCUs on the market. Enabled by a vast ecosystem of development tools and design resources, the ColdFire family of embedded controllers is a flexible, cost-effective and easy-to-use 32-bit solution for your next consumer or industrial application.

They provide a coherent multicore migration solution, enabling you to move to multicore applications with confidence. Built using one or more high-performance e500 Power Architecture® cores, QorIQ platforms are system on chip (SoC) processors designed for advanced networking applications. All platforms are delivered at 45-nanometer (nm) geometries, offering exceptional performance with embedded power budgets. Extensive programming support from our ecosystem partners will help ease your development and debug process.
Host and Integrated Host Processors (8xxx, 7xxx, 7xx, 6xx)
Freescale's Power Architecture host processors employ e500 or e600 cores to deliver breakthrough performance, connectivity and integration for embedded networking, telecom, aerospace and defense, storage, industrial and pervasive computing applications.
Power Architecture Controllers (5xx/5xxx)
Power Architecture is the world's leading architecture for automotive powertrain control. Our automotive Power Architecture processors are stringently tested to withstand the extremely harsh environment in powertrain applications. Our latest products are designed to help automakers offer more fuel-efficient automobiles and meet stricter government-mandated emissions standards by enabling precise control of engine events, such as combustion, without sacrificing performance.
