The MCF521X microcontroller family is a cost-sensitive, low power single-chip solution with up to 521KB of high performance, near-single access, interleaved and securable embedded Flash memory. Moreover, the MCF521X embedded controller communication peripherals provide easy connection to other systems. Three universal asynchronous receiver/transmitters (UARTs) enable medium to long distance communication to other control systems or computers. An inter-integrated circuit (I2C) and queued serial peripheral interface (QSPI) enable in-system communication to connected peripherals and systems, including LCDs and keyboards. All this is offered along with the high performance V2 ColdFire core that even incorporates a multiply and accumulate module (MAC)/ enhanced multiply and accumulate module (eMAC) for DSP-like operation.

Higher-end MCF5214 and MCF5216 provide an upgrade for current MMC2107, MMC2113 and MMC2114 users who require more Flash and/or higher performance with a richer set of the same peripheral mix while standardizing on one low-cost, low-power MCU family.
