MC9S08QG 
So highly integrated, it’s redefining low-end
Often it’s not just the individual features but the 
full feature set that matters. The MC9S08QG 
family enhances system functionality by integrating 
embedded modules that frequently are not included 
in low-end MCUs (see key features).
These modules help:
•  Reduce overall system size 
•  Lessen the probability of overall board quality 
problems and conflicts
•  Cut overall system cost 
•  Reduce overall design time 
Key Features
•  Powerful, advanced S08 core
•  Multiple communications options—SCI, SPI 
  and I
2
•  High-resolution analog—8-ch., 10-bit ADC and 
analog comparator
•  “Extras” included—2-ch., 16-bit timer; internal/
external oscillator; LVI; COP; and up to 13 GPIOs
•  Multiple memory options—8 KB or 4 KB 
Freescale flash memory and up to 512B RAM

DEMO9S08QG8E—MSRP* $50
The demo board integrates the USB-
to-BDM interface, providing the 
capabilities of USB Multilink without 
the added cost of additional hardware. 
It allows in-circuit debugging and flash 
programming without the emulation 
requirements of serial monitors or 
other debugging techniques used in 
the industry.
Board highlights include:
•  Socketed MC9S08QG8 16-pin DIP
•  Integrated USB-to-BDM cable
•  32-pin I/O header 
•  Power LED
•  User I/O features: 
    Reset push button
    Two push buttons 
    Two LEDs
    Potentiometer 
    Light sensor
    Jumpers to disable the user I/O  
   functions 
    RS-232 transceiver circuit, 9-pin 
      D-shell connector
•  Onboard 12-volt to 5-volt voltage 
regulator with 3.3-volt output to MCU
•  Barrel-style power connector
•  Optional BDM connector 
  (6-pin header) 
•  Optional external oscillator circuit
•  CodeWarrior
