The latest S08AC family of devices are designed to provide flexible, scalable general-purpose solutions for control modules in major appliances, such as clothes washers, dishwashers, refrigerators, freezers and cooking products. Operating at a 40 MHz core frequency and a bus speed of up to 20 MHz, the S08AC60/42/32 MCUs offer developers a choice of 60K, 48K and 32K flash memory, in addition to the existing 16K and 8K options for 8-bit designs.

This feature can be further enhanced with color or by adding metallic or other special effects to create eye-catching, high-clarity design elements on final products. Based on hydrogenated styrene block copolymers (HSBC), the thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) compounds are unique in offering a previously unattainable level of adhesion to PC and ABS base materials. This opens up innovative design differentiation opportunities to a broad spectrum of end products.
