1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The DEMO9RS08KA8 Demonstration board has been designed for the evaluation,
demonstration and the debugging of the Freescale MC9RS08KA8 microcontroller.
The DEMO9RS08KA8 can be used as a standalone application, or via its built-in USB-to-BDM
bridge, or together the Freescale Student Learning Kit (Freescale code: MCUSLK) through an
external 36-pin I/O female header connector.
1.2 Package Contents
The DEMO9RS08KA8 package includes the following items:
The DEMO9RS08KA8 board (composed by the DEMO9RS08SA12/KA8 board + the
DB9RS08KA8 adapter, already plugged in);

2 Hardware Features
2.1 Demonstration Board Features
The DEMO9RS08KA8 board features:
A MC9RS08KA8 microcontroller (in 20-Pin DIP package, already programmed with a
demo application);
A provision for a low-frequency crystal;
A 12 V DC power supply input connector;
Power input selection jumper for selecting the input voltage source:
o 12 V DC input connector;
o USB connector.
A built-in USB-to-BDM circuitry which allows the host PC to communicate with the
microcontroller through a standard USB interface. When using an external in-circuit
debugger (via the “BDM” connector), the USB-to-BDM circuitry must be bypassed by
removing the BKGD and RESET# jumpers.
A Reset push-button connected to the MCU Reset pin.
A series of inputs:
o Two push-buttons, together with jumpers to connect/disconnect them to/from the
microcontroller;
o A potentiometer, together with a jumper to connect/disconnect it to/from the
microcontroller;
o A photoresistor, together with a jumper to connect/disconnect it to/from the
microcontroller.
Two LEDs together with jumpers to connect/disconnect them to/from the microcontroller;
An RS-232 transceiver (with a DB9 female connector), together with jumpers to
connect/disconnect them to/from the microcontroller;
A 36-pin I/O female header connector on the bottom of the board.
