Overview

This document consists of the MC9S08GW64 Reference Manual (Rev 3) and an accompanying Addendum (Rev 1) for the MC9S08GW64 and MC9S08GW32 8-bit HCS08 microcontrollers. It provides technical specifications for the CPU core, memory mapping, and power-saving modes. The manual details integrated peripherals including an LCD driver (up to 4x40 or 8x36), dual 16-bit ADCs (ADC16), and an independent real-time clock (iRTC) with tamper detection. The addendum specifically introduces an adjusted calibration procedure for the ADC16V1 module to improve linearity and minimize error spikes near the 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 points of the full-scale range when operating in differential mode.

Use Cases

  • Smart metering and automatic meter reading (AMR)
  • Battery-powered portable instrumentation
  • Industrial control and monitoring
  • Medical monitoring devices with LCD displays
  • Tamper-resistant real-time clock applications
