Finding a Microcontroller with USART,IIC and SPI

MWH — Sun, 27 May 2012 13:02:19 GMT

I am currently a second year computer science student. For my project I am looking for a Microcontroller which is equiped with USART,IIC and SPI. I have worked using HCS12 but it does not contain USART. I am planniing to use a GPS reciever unit MT3318 which communicate via UART. Can anybody suggest me a suitable microcontroller?

I am also looking for a development board. Can somebody suggest one of those too?

Thank you in advace.

The TRK-MPC5634 ($99) plus the code at ecu.zeeff.com might be a suitable choice.

MPC might be overkill for your project. These things are quite difficult to get up and running. MCF (ColdFire) might be closer, maybe a Flexis part. All of the MCF51 parts have SCI, SPI and I2C.

Do you really need a USART (the "S" means "Synchronous") or do you just need a UART? The SCI in the Flexis parts should do what you want.

For what you're making that may be overkill. You might get by with a PIC.

I agree that the MPC5634 does much more, but if you start with the code I mentioned, then it is easy to get running.
