Adapt9S12D is a compact, modular implementation of Freescale's flagship 9S12D family of microcontroller chips. The HCS12 family is backward-compatible with 68HC12 (and 68HC11), and utilizes the latest process technology. By shrinking feature size, more functionality can be put on a chip, reducing power consumption and cost, while increasing operating speed. Adapt9S12D is an ideal low-cost platform that brings these advantages within easy reach of engineers, students, and hobbyists. The flexible design of the entire "Adapt" series microcontroller products accommodates all facets of training, evaluation, development, prototyping, and even volume production.
Implemented in an "AdaptS12" form factor board, Adapt9S12D is compatible with an entire range of application cards, prototyping cards, and backplanes, and usable with solderless breadboards ("proto boards"). The Minimal configuration includes all necessary support circuitry for the MCU, as well as a 5-Volt regulator and RS232 transceiver on-board.
MCU Overview:
Module Features:
- surface-mounted 9S12DP512 MCU
- 2.30" x 3.25" AdaptS12 form-factor
- two 50-pin connectors bring out all I/O pins of the MCU

Before you order...
All of our standard connector options are available for this board. The product photo above shows "SB" connector on both H1 and H2. Please make your choice of connectors before adding this item to your shopping cart. Otherwise, the board will be shipped with the default option (no connectors on H1 and H2).
- Flash-based code development using a BDM pod
Use a BDM pod (such as our USBDMLT) to erase and load Flash with your program. The entire 512K Flash can be used for your program.
