TWR-RF-MRB Features
The TWR-RF is a Tower System controller module compatible with the
Freescale Tower System. It can function as a stand-alone, low-cost platform
for the evaluation of the MC12311 or MC1323x devices using the appropriate
modular reference board (MRB) (12311-MRB or 1323x-MRB). The TWR-RF
module works with the Tower System elevator modules (TWR-ELEV) and can
also be combined with other Freescale Tower System peripheral modules to
create development platforms for a wide variety of applications.
