Adapt9S12NE^TM is a compact, modular implementation of Freescale's 9S12NE64 microcontroller chip. The 16-bit S12 family is backward-compatible with the ubiquitous 8-bit 68HC11, utilizing the latest process technology to reduce power consumption and cost, while increasing operating speed. Adapt9S12NE is a modular low-cost platform that brings these advantages within easy reach of engineers, students, and hobbyists. The flexible design of the entire Adapt series of microcontroller products supports all aspects of training, evaluation, development, and prototyping-- even volume production.
