8-bit General Purpose GT MCUs

S08GT

The MC9S08GT family are cost-effective, high-performance S08 general purpose 8-bit microcontrollers. All MCUs in the family use the enhanced S08 core and are available with a variety of modules, memory sizes, memory types and package types.

Additionally, the MC9S08GT16A and MC9S08GT8A series of microcontrollers further extend the GT family to smaller memory sizes, while maintaining higher end functionality often associated with more expensive parts. MC9S08GT16A doubles the RAM of its predecessor. An additional option is offered for those customers requiring an 8 KB flash part.
