MC9S08AC60MFGER

Microcontrollers Overview

The MC9S08AC60MFGER is an 8-bit microcontroller from the NXP S08 family, featuring a 40-MHz HCS08 CPU with a 20-MHz internal bus frequency. It integrates up to 60 KB of on-chip FLASH memory and 2 KB of RAM. The device supports multiple clock sources including crystal, resonator, external clock, or internally generated clocks via the ICG module. Key peripherals include a 16-channel 10-bit ADC, two SCI modules supporting LIN 2.0, SPI, IIC, TPMs, and a CRC module. It offers up to 54 general-purpose I/O pins with configurable pullups, slew rate, and drive strength.

Microcontrollers Feature Summary

• Features an 8-bit HCS08 CPU with background debugging and breakpoint capabilities for in-circuit development.
• Includes hardware CRC generation using a 16-bit shift register for fast data integrity checks.
• Provides software-selectable pullups, slew rate control, and drive strength on I/O ports.
• Supports low-power operation through Wait mode and two Stop modes.

Microcontrollers Applications

• General-purpose embedded control systems
• Industrial automation and monitoring
• Consumer electronics requiring robust I/O and communication interfaces

Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'M' indicates the QFN package variant as per the datasheet's ordering information section. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for any addendums regarding package migration from gold to copper wire which may affect mechanical drawings. Ensure the source document matches the exact part number revision.

Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this component when 60 KB of program memory and 54 I/O pins are required within the S08 architecture. Consider the MFGER suffix for the QFN package option if space constraints dictate a leadless footprint. Evaluate the need for the integrated CRC module and LIN support against other series members like AC32 or AC48 if memory requirements differ.

Microcontrollers Part Context

This MCU belongs to the MC9S08AC series, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring high performance and rich peripheral sets. The AC series distinguishes itself with enhanced interrupt handling and flexible clock options compared to earlier HC08 derivatives. It serves as a bridge between basic 8-bit controllers and more complex 16/32-bit solutions.
