This single chip MC9S12 is far more powerful, and much faster since it accesses program memory 16 bit wide and the instructions take less cycles, and there are powerful adressing modes etc... No doubt, the S12 is much more fun. > The number of us 68HC11 stragglers is continuing to ramp down, and I ack. > doubt any semi manufacturer could ever be tempted to come out with a new > variation of the 68HC11.... one problem is existing hardware produced in low quantities. We have some old stuff with 811E2 and it would be expensive to migrate it to some HC12 derivative. I understand why Motorola doesn't care about these applications, but it's very bad for the users. Another problem are applications using the external bus for interfacing. Only the 68HC812A4 has a easy to use external memory interface (no MPX, slow devices can be attached directly), but it's no S12 (therefore slower and more expensive) and how long will it be available ("PRODUCT MATURITY/SATURATION")?
