Freescale introduced the first S08 ultra-low-power MCU with LCD driver. The MC9S08LL16/8 helps you
reach your target performance levels while minimizing power consumption in your design, demonstrating
extreme energy efficiency for ultra-long operation in battery-powered applications. The S08LL16 (LL16)
microcontroller offers two ultra-low-power stop modes, new low-power run and wait modes, six
microsecond wake-up time, ultra-low-power external oscillator and clock gating registers to disable clocks
to unused peripherals.

Features

* Up to 20 MHZ HCS08 CPU from 1.8V to 3.6V and across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C
* Two ultra-low-power stop modes
* New low-power run and wait modes
* Internal clock source (ICS)
* Integrated LCD driver supports both standard 3V and 5V LCD glass
* Configurable display for 8 x 24 or 4 x 28 segment display
* LCD driver pins are muxed with GPIO and other functions
* Up to 16 KB flash read/program/erase over full operating voltage and temperature
* Analog-to-digital converter (ADC)?8-channel, 12-bit resolution
* Timer?two 2-channel
* Serial communications interface (SCI)
* Analog comparator with selectable interrupt on rising, falling or either edge of comparator output
* Serial peripheral interface (SPI)?one module with full-duplex or single-wire bidirectional
* I²C with up to 100 kbps
* 38 general purpose input/output (GPIO), two output-only pins
* Single-wire background debug interface

Applications

* Battery-operated handheld devices

* Portable health care devices
* Thermostats
* Alarms/clocks
* Exercise equipment
* Personal diagnostics
* Calculators
 * Low-end utility metering
* ZigBee nodes with display

Pin Assignments
The L family has industry-leading LCD capabilities, including the ability to drive more segments with fewer
pins (up to 8x mode). In addition, the S08LL family offers best-in-class, ultra-low-power performance.
The L family will offer industry leading advanced key features for consumer and industrial markets

Full range portfolio, with pin compatibility options and shared peripherals
Frontplane and backplane reassignment simplifies PCB layout and EMI optimization
LCD driver support for up to 8 backplanes to drive more segments with fewer pins
LCD blink mode without waking up the controller, which lowers power consumption
S08 LCD family offers best-in-class, ultra-low-power performance and contrast control

LL16/8 offers Freescale?s ultra-low-power technology at 1.8V with winning features, such as 20MHz CPU,
flash reprogramming and ADC accuracy. Intended for low-power and portable applications, such as
thermostats and blood glucose meters.
