There appears to be VERY MANY variants of the S08 MCU - even if we discount package type and memory size. Does there exist some form of comparison table that lists the features of each variant. Don't take this literally, but if i need one with two widgets and three gismos the only way is to download the datasheet for each device until I find what I want.
There may well be the document I need, but I can't find it.
Hi Julian
Maybe this can help you
If you need USB the option are
S08JS
S08JM
S08MM
If you need motor control
S08MP
S08AC- AW
S08P-RN
LIN communication
S08SL
CAN communication
S08DZ
LOW Power
S08QE
Small package
S08SH
LCD driver
S08LL
S08LH
I hope this will help you
Please let me know if you need recommendation or more information
Regards
Vicente
Thank you for the information, but I thought NXP may have responded. From the NXP website there is a list of 30 variants and to give you an idea of my frustration :- Right now I don't need any of the options that you list. Taking as an example a GB version is described as "a general purpose GB MCU" and a GT version is described as "a general purpose GT MCU". This information is about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike!! Why has'nt NXP published a parametric table for this family of devices so that someone like me can view the whole range, select the features required and then compare those that fulfil the requirements. It's not an new idea - almost all semiconductor manufacturers do this.
