The MC9S12XD family will retain the low cost, power consumption, EMC and code-size ef?ciency advantages currently enjoyed by users of Our existing 16-Bit MC9S12 MCU Family. Based around an enhanced S12 core, the MC9S12XD family will deliver 2 to 5 times the performance of a 25-MHz S12 whilst retaining a high degree of pin and code compatibility with the S12. Covers S12XD, S12XB & S12XA Families.
S12XCPUV1: This manual describes the features and operation of the central processing unit, or CPU12, used in HCS12 and HCS12X microcontrollers. 68HC12, HCS12, and HCS12X represent three generations of 16-bit controllers with all of them being derived from the industry standard M68HC11. The CPU12 is a high-speed, 16-bit processing unit that has a programming model identical to that of the industry standard M68HC11 central processor unit (CPU).
This application note focuses on reduction techniques for electromagnetic interference.

XGATECOPROCFS The XGATE Coprocessor
Targeted at automotive multiplexing applications, the MC9S12XD Family will deliver 32-bit performance with all the advantages and efficiencies of a 16-bit MCU. The S12X is designed to retain the low cost, low power consumption, excellent EMC performance and code-size efficiency advantages enjoyed by users of Our previous 16-bit MC9S12 MCU family. Covers MC9S12XD64 through MC9S12XDP512 and MC3S12XDT256/MC3S12XDG128.

CodeWarrior Development Studio for NXP HCS12(X) v5.2 Microcontrollers enables engineers to build and deploy HCS12 or HCS12X/XGATE systems quickly and easily. This tool suite provides the capabilities required by every engineer in the development cycle: from board bring-up to firmware development to final application development. With a common project-based development environment reuse becomes a natural by-product as each team builds on the work already completed by the previous team.
