Device overview S12ZVC family
The MC9S12ZVC family is a new member of the S12 MagniV product line integrating a
battery level (12 V) voltage regulator, supply voltage monitoring, high voltage inputs,and
a CAN physical interface. It’s primarily targeting at CAN nodes like sensors, switch panels,
or small actuators. It offers various low-power modes and wake-up management to
address sta te of the art pow er consu mptio nrequirements.
Some members of the MC9S12ZVC family are also offered for high temperature applications
requiring AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (-40°C to +150°C ambient operating temperature range) The
MC9S12ZVC family is based on the enhanced performance, linear address space S12Z
core and delivers an optimized solution with the integration of several key system components
into a single device, optimizing system architecture and achieving significant space savings.

Software tools installation
This section describes how to get started w ith the S12ZVC board by installing
CodeWarrior development studio and testing the demo program that come s
programmed with the board.
Install CodeWarrior development studio
NXP’s CodeWarrior for MCUs integrates the development tools for several
architectures, including the S12Z architecture, into a single product
based on the Eclipse open development platform. Eclipse offers an excellent
framework for building software development environments and is a standard
framework used by many embedded software vendors.
The latest version of CodeWarrior for
MCUs (Eclipse IDE) can be downloadedfrom

Launch the
demo program
The S12ZVC EVB board comes
preprogrammed with a small
demonstration application that
exercises the different modules
of the S12ZVC MCU family,
including the ADC, SCI, I2C,
and GPIO modules.
To see this demonstration:
• Connect a 12 V power source
to the EVB.
• Connect a USB cable to the
USB type B connector.
• Press the keys on the keypad
to hear tones on the buzzer.
• Tilt the EVB to observe changes
on the red and green LEDs.
• Rotate the potentiometer to
observe changes on the orangeLED.
• Notice that the pressure sensor controls
the yellow LED.
The software for this application is
available on
nxp.com.
