Overview 

The cost-effective, high-performance, optimized automotive 16-bit S9S12XHY family is intended to bridge the gap between low-end 16-bit microcontrollers, such as the S9S12HY family, and high-performance 32-bit solutions. Targeting low-end automotive instrument cluster applications, the S9S12XHY family includes support for CAN and LIN/J2602 communication and delivers typical cluster requirements such as stepper motor control with stepper stall detection (SSD) and LCD driver. It’s a cost-competitive solution to complement the 9S12HY64/32 devices and address emerging market needs for low-end clusters. The S9S12XHY family uses many of the same features found in the S9S12HY family, including error correction code (ECC) on flash memory, a separate data flash module for diagnostic or data storage, a fast analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a frequency modulated phase-locked loop (PLL) for improved EMC performance. These integrated features enable you to design a more cost-effective application.
