The entire Flexis QE family was engineered to help designers provide it all with increased integration, performance and ultra-low power features while reducing system costs. What makes the ColdFire portfolio stand out is that all of these devices use the same basic architecture which makes migrating between them easy. They have the performance and flexibility of a 32-bit device with the simplicity of an 8-bit MCU. NXP also has easy to use tools that can be used for these and other higher performing devices, enabling the designer to use the same basic tools for current and future designs.
