TWR-MCF51CN-KIT
The Freescale Tower System is a modular development platform for 8-, 16- and 32-bit microcontrollers that enables advanced development through rapid prototyping. Featuring multiple development boards or modules, the Tower System provides designers with building blocks for entry-level to advanced microcontroller development.

Features

Benefits

Small Form Factor
(3.5”H x 3.5” W x 3.5” D when fully assembled)

Takes small amount of space on desk or work station

Controller Modules (8-, 16-, 32-bit)

  • Works stand-alone or as part of Tower System

Allows rapid prototyping

  • Features new Open Source BDM (OSBDM)

Provides easy programming and debugging via mini-B USB cable

Elevator Modules

  • Two 2x80 connectors

Provides easy signal access and side-mounting board (i.e. LCD module)

  • Power regulation circuitry

Provides power to all boards

  • Standardized signal assignments

Allows for customized peripheral module development

  • Four card-edge connectors available

Allows easy expansion using PCI Express connectors (x16, 90mm/3.5” long, 164 pins)

Peripheral Modules

  • Can be re-used with all Tower System MCU/MPU modules

Eliminates the need to buy/develop redundant hardware

  • Interchangeable peripheral modules – Serial, Memory, Graphical LCD, 802.11b WiFi, etc.

Enables advanced development and broad functionality
