Another important feature of the KA8 is its high integration. The cost-effective 20-pin package integrates 12-channels of 10-bit ADC, up to 18 I/Os, a two-channel 16-bit timer, and 8K of flash, all of which allows the KA8 to be used in more applications that require these higher performance features. Just as with the QE8 and the QA4, NXP provides the development tools interface for the RS08 to aid customers in their development cycle in the Code Warrior Special Edition software.
