MC9S12XS: Difference between Flash and ROM versions of Controller

Started by yadunandan kasu May 18, 2008
hello every one,

I am working with the MC912XS64 MCU right now, while reading the
refference manual, I found there are two types of Main Memory versions
are available in the MC9S12XS family.
1. Flash Memory (256K 128K or 64K)
2. ROM Memory (256K 128K or 64K)

According to the Manual, for the Controller which has ROM as the Main
memory version, doesn't contain the DataFlash (Flash EEPROM).

Can anyone tell me the difference between these Flash and ROM
versions in the MC9S12XS family.

please reffer to the page.no 666
of 'MC9S12XS_Family_Reference_Manual.pdf '
Thanks & Regards
Nandu
Hello,

The Flash version can be erased and re-written.
The ROM, you cannot change the content of constant and software.
Also price of ROM means they are only interesting in high volumes.
