Product details
Overview
MC68340PV25E from Motorola is a 32-bit integrated processor with CPU32 core, dual-channel DMA controller, two USARTs, and system integration module (SIM40), operating at up to 25.16 MHz on a 5 V ±5% supply in a 145-pin plastic PGA package. It delivers 4 MIPS (VAX-equivalent) performance, supports 32-bit addressing with 16-bit data bus, and targets embedded control systems requiring high-speed memory transfers and real-time I/O handling.
For engineers reviewing the MC68340PV25E datasheet, MC68340PV25E pinout, MC68340PV25E application, or MC68340PV25E equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, validated pin mapping, confirmed timing behavior, exact peripheral register compatibility, and documented alternative selection guidance for industrial and multimedia embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MC68340PV25E implements the CPU32 core - an M68020-derived 32-bit CISC processor with full object-code compatibility to MC68000/MC68010, supporting 32×32 multiply, 32-bit conditional branches, and background debug mode via dedicated serial interface. Its intermodule bus (IMB) synchronously connects CPU32, DMA, USARTs, timers, and SIM40 without external arbitration logic.
Peripheral subsystems operate independently but share memory-mapped registers: dual-channel DMA supports single- or dual-address transfers (8/16/32-bit data, 32-bit addresses), each USART offers MC68681-compatible framing and modem control, and two 16-bit timers with 8-bit prescaler deliver 80 ns resolution at 25.16 MHz.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar integrated processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC68332CFN16 | 16 MHz CPU32 core, 112-pin QFP, no USART - replaces serial I/O with time-triggered CAN interface and enhanced queue-based timers | Targeted at automotive body control and distributed systems requiring deterministic message scheduling over CAN bus | Select when CAN protocol stack integration and reduced pin count outweigh need for dual UARTs and higher clock speed |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC68340PV25E?
The MC68340PV25E is rated for operation up to 25.16 MHz at 5.0 V ±5%. This frequency enables its CPU32 core to achieve 4 MIPS (VAX-equivalent) performance and supports 50 Mbyte/sec sustained DMA throughput in single-address mode. Operation above this frequency is not guaranteed and may result in timing violations or data corruption. The MC68340PV25E does not support 3.3 V operation - that capability is exclusive to the MC68340V variant.
Does the MC68340PV25E support IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan testing?
Yes, the MC68340PV25E includes full IEEE 1149.1-compliant boundary scan logic accessible via dedicated TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO pins. This feature enables automated PCB interconnect testing, in-system programming verification, and fault isolation without physical probe access. The boundary scan implementation is integrated into the System Integration Module (SIM40) and operates independently of CPU32 execution, allowing test operations during system idle or debug states.
How many serial communication channels does the MC68340PV25E provide, and what is their compatibility?
The MC68340PV25E integrates two independent full-duplex USART channels (RxDA/TxDA and RxDB/TxDB), each functionally equivalent to the MC68681/MC2681 DUART. Both support programmable data formats (5–8 bits, parity, 1–2 stop bits), hardware flow control (RTS/CTS), and baud rates up to 76.8 kbps using internal generators or external clocks. They sustain up to 9.8 Mbps aggregate serial throughput at 25 MHz system clock, making them suitable for dual-protocol or redundant communication links.
What power management features are implemented in the MC68340PV25E?
The MC68340PV25E includes multiple hardware-assisted power management features: programmable clock synthesizer for dynamic frequency scaling, individual peripheral enable/disable control to reduce leakage, and LPSTOP instruction for ultra-low-power standby mode (~300 µW). These features operate without external components and are managed entirely through SIM40 registers. Unlike the MC68340V, the MC68340PV25E does not support 3.3 V operation, so voltage scaling is not available - power reduction relies solely on clock gating and functional shutdown.
Is the MC68340PV25E pin-compatible with other members of the M68300 family?
No, the MC68340PV25E is not pin-compatible with other M68300 family members such as the MC68332 or MC68360. Its 145-pin PPGA package, signal assignment (e.g., dual USART pins, specific DMA request/acknowledge lines), and power/ground pin distribution are unique to the MC68340. While software drivers for shared modules (e.g., timers, SIM40 registers) are portable across the family, hardware design requires custom PCB layout for each part due to differing pin counts, packages, and peripheral mappings.
