A typical application for the QE microcontrollers is a security control system using both the QE 8-bit and 32-bit devices in a low power, high performance solution. The S08QE128 offers performance for communication with monitoring device and data processing as well as low power consumption to operate on batteries during an electrical failure. The ColdFire V1 is ideal with a 32-bit processor for more bandwidth and processing power but is also designed for battery applications. With compatible systems, migration is quick and easy with the same tools, pin-outs, and peripherals.
