The MCF532x family takes industrial control efficiency to the next level with an integrated super video graphics adapter (SVGA) LCD controller that helps reduce overall system cost by supporting a variety of LCD panels from one single embedded controller chip. Building on the competitive high-performance legacy of the 68K/ColdFire® family, these devices offer up to 211 (Dhrystone 2.1) MIPS at 240 MHz, placing them among the highest performing processors in their class. Advanced features include an enhanced multiply-accumulate (eMAC) unit, which handles DSP-like instructions, and an integrated SDRAM controller that supports either double data rate (DDR) or single data rate (SDR) memory.ConnectivityFor applications requiring enhanced human-machine interfaces, the MCF532x family enables higher performance and increased flexibility for virtually any combination of system-to-system, in-system or networked communication. MCF532x embedded controllers offer both an integrated universal serial bus (USB) host and an integrated USB On-The-Go (OTG) module, as well as three on-chip universal asynchronous receiver/transmitters (UARTs) for direct communication between computers, terminals and other devices. The MCF532x family also features an integrated queued serial peripheral interface (QSPI) and an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) for in-system communication and supports networked communication via the integrated Fast Ethernet controller (FEC) and controller area network (CAN) modules.

SecurityData protection is a critical requirement for connected embedded applications. The MCF532x family offers an optional on-chip hardware encryption module that is designed to support a variety of encryption algorithms and protocols while maintaining high overall system performance.
