The IDB-HC08QY Evaluation Board demonstrates the capabilities of the 16-pin MC68HC908QY devices. The IDB-HC08QY Evaluation Board can be used as a standalone application or with an emulator system, such as inDART-HC08, through a MON08-compatible connection.
The IDB-HC08QY Evaluation Board demonstrates the capabilities of the 16‑pin MC68HC908QY devices. It includes an MC68HC908QY4 microcontroller in a DIP16 package, a ZIF socket, a MON08 connector, eight LEDs, a potentiometer, push‑button switches, a 16‑MHz oscillator, and power‑supply connectors for both unregulated (9‑12 V) and regulated (5 V) operation.
The board can be used in standalone mode, where a pre‑programmed demo application runs the A/D peripheral and displays results on the LEDs, or in host mode with a MON08‑based emulator such as SofTec's inDART‑HC08. The manual details required jumper settings, power‑source selection, and the pin‑out of the MON08 connector for proper integration.
