Freescale HCS08 8-Bit Microprocessor IP Core
The Freescale HCS08 is a synthesizable, state-of-the-art, high performance and low power 8-bit microprocessor that can be easily integrated into any ASIC or FPGA design. The HCS08 also provides an easy migration path to Freescale’s 32-bit ColdFire architecture. Using Freescale’s CodeWarrior integrated development environment, assembly code for the HCS08 can be retargeted to the 32-bit V1 ColdFire with just a few mouse clicks. The Freescale HCS08 core is available for licensing nowfrom IPextreme. The IP core is offered in a complete package that includes synthesizable source code, integration test bench, and complete documentation. Encrypted versions of the core are available from the Core Store at US $10,000. Full source code versions of the HCS08 and other Core Store IP are also available for additional fees.
Freescale HCS08 8-Bit Microprocessor
- 8-bit processor core with 16 to 22-bit address bus (address width depends on MMU configuration)
