While there are several DIP-format MCU modules on the market, none of them comes close to the power and value of NanoCore12!  Others are based on RISC processors– some relying on serial program memory, and have limited or no hardware subsystems on-chip.  NanoCore12 is the only complete family of DIP modules based on a high-speed CISC device.  Since RISC processors only possess primitve instructions, their high speed is necessary, in order to produce acceptable computing power.  With a CISC processor running at the same speed, the overall performance is vastly improved– and performance improvement is in orders of magnitude for certain types of operations.  The HCS12 instruction set includes powerful DSP-like instructions, 16-bit arithmetic, and the architecture implements memory-to-memory moves, and many powerful addressing modes.  These features are way beyond what any PIC, AVR, or 8051 processor offers today.

For many years, HC11 and HC12 users have wished there were something similar in price and size to the ever-popular BASIC Stamp® but with their favourite Motorola/Freescale MCU on it instead. ......Well, sometimes wishes do come true! Technological Arts has come to the rescue with the NanoCore12 family! Priced lower than the BASIC Stamp and its clones (that's right starting at only US$45), it's the lowest-priced full-featured DIP MCU module on the market and certainly the best value. What's more, it is fully code-compatible with the immensely popular 68HC11. If you are familiar with 68HC11 (or 68HC12), you'll feel right at home with NanoCore12. Whatever the case, you can get going fast with your choice of BASIC or C.

Top 10 Reasons to Choose NanoCore12

1•  Hardware Pulse-Width Modulation (up to 4 channels) for motor control and audio output applications

2•  Hardware UART (up to 115Kbaud) for fast serial communications

3•  Hardware timer system (measure pulse widths & generate multiple waveforms simultaneously): ideal

      for interfacing sonar/IR distance-measuring sensors, hobby servo motors

4•  Built-in analog-to-digital converters (8 channels, with 10-bit resolution and 7us sample time for

      interfacing multiple sensors: temperature, humidity, pressure, light, etc.)

5•  Built-in real-time interrupt (easy to implement multi-tasking Operating System kernel)

6•  Advanced Complex Instruction Set (CISC) 16-bit CPU

7•  Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) for easy interface to LCDs, memory cards, MP3 chips, DACs,

     clock/calendar chips, serial EEPROM, etc.

8•  32K+ program memory (for fast "execute-in-place" program execution)

9•  2K+ user RAM (for variables and data)

10•Programmable in Assembler, BASIC, and C
