8-, 16- and 32-bit MCUs/MPUs

Freescale Tower System

Overview

The Freescale Tower System is a modular development platform for 8-, 16- and 
32-bit MCUs and MPUs that enables advanced development through rapid 
prototyping. Featuring more than fifty development boards or modules, the  
Tower System provides designers with building blocks for entry-level to advanced 
MCU development. 

Modular development platform

  The Freescale Tower System

Tower Plug-In (TWRPI)

•  Designed to attach to modules that have a

TWRPI socket(s)

•  Adds features and functionality
•  Swappable with other TWRPIs
•  Examples include accelerometers, key pads,  

touch pads, sliders and rotary touch pads

Controller/Processor Module 

(MCU/MPU) 

•  Tower MCU/MPU board

•  Works stand-alone or in

Tower System

•  Features integrated

debugging interface for  

easy programming and  

run control via standard  

USB cable

Secondary Elevator

•  Additional and secondary

serial and expansion bus

signals

•  Standardized signal

assignments
