Introduction
The MC9S12XE-Family of micro controllers is a further development of the S12XD-Family including new features for enhanced system integrity and greater functionality. These new features include a Memory Protection Unit (MPU) and Error Correction Code (ECC) on the Flash memory together with enhanced EEPROM functionality (EEE), an enhanced XGATE, an Internally filtered, frequency modulated Phase Locked Loop (IPLL) and an enhanced ATD. The E-Family extends the S12X product range up to 1MB of Flash memory with increased I/O capability in the 208-pin version of the flagship MC9S12XE100.

The MC9S12XE-Family delivers 32-bit performance with all the advantages and efficiencies of a 16 bit MCU. It retains the low cost, power consumption, EMC and code-size efficiency advantages currently enjoyed by users of Freescale’s existing 16-Bit MC9S12 and S12X MCU families. There is a high level of compatibility between the S12XE and S12XD families.
