Product details
Overview
MC68EN302PV25BT from Freescale is a 25 MHz, 5 V integrated multiprotocol processor with IEEE 802.3-compliant Ethernet controller, DRAM controller, and three SCC serial channels - all on a single 144-pin TQFP die. It extends the MC68302 architecture with full-duplex 10 Mbps Ethernet, dual 128-byte FIFOs, and JTAG-compliant IEEE 1149.1 test support for embedded bridge/router designs.
For engineers reviewing the MC68EN302PV25BT datasheet, MC68EN302PV25BT pinout, MC68EN302PV25BT application, or MC68EN302PV25BT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 25 MHz operation, 144-pin TQFP package, 16-bit Ethernet interface, DRAM bank control, and compatibility with the MC68302 programming model in low-end networking systems.
Technical Context
The MC68EN302PV25BT integrates a 68000-compatible microcoded core with four independent serial interfaces: three legacy SCCs plus a dedicated Ethernet channel implementing full IEEE 802.3 MAC layer functions. Its Ethernet controller uses two dedicated DMA channels, 128 internal buffer descriptors, and a 64-entry CAM with hash option for address filtering.
The DRAM controller supports two banks (RAS0/RAS1, CAS0/CAS1), programmable wait states (0 at 25 MHz with 80 ns DRAM), and hidden refresh - while the module bus controller handles interrupt routing for Ethernet and DRAM blocks and coordinates bus mastership between internal and external sources.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Clock Frequency | 25 MHz maximum operation - enables deterministic timing for Ethernet frame handling and DRAM access at zero wait states with 80 ns DRAM. |
| Ethernet Data Rate | 10 Mbps baseband (20 Mbps full-duplex) - meets IEEE 802.3 compliance for twisted-pair/AUI physical layers via 68160 EEST interface. |
| FIFO Depth | 128 bytes transmit + 128 bytes receive - decouples CPU bus latency from packet transmission/reception, enabling collision-free back-to-back frame handling. |
| DRAM Support | Two independent banks, 128 KB–8 MB per bank - allows flexible memory partitioning for code, packet buffers, and descriptor tables without external glue logic. |
| JTAG Compliance | Fully IEEE 1149.1 compliant - enables boundary-scan testing, debug access, and in-circuit emulation without requiring additional test circuitry. |
| Serial Interfaces | Three SCCs + one Ethernet channel - provides four independent serial data paths for ISDN-to-Ethernet bridging, remote dial-in gateways, or WAN/LAN aggregation. |
Pinout & Package
MC68EN302PV25BT is housed in a 144-lead thin quad flat pack (TQFP) with 0.5 mm lead pitch, designed for surface-mount assembly and thermal performance up to 70°C ambient. The package supports standard PCB reflow profiles and includes dedicated pins for Ethernet (RX/TX/RENA/CLSN/TENA/TCLK), DRAM control (RAS0/RAS1/CAS0/CAS1/DRAMRW), and system bus arbitration (BR/BG/BGACK).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RX / TX | Ethernet physical layer interface | Differential receive/transmit signals for 10BASE-T or AUI media; require external transceiver (e.g., 68160 EEST). |
| RENA / TENA | Ethernet enable control | Active-high enables receiver/transmitter; synchronized with internal state machine to prevent partial frame corruption. |
| CLSN / TCLK / RCLK | Ethernet collision & clock control | Collision detection output; transmit/receive clock inputs derived from external crystal or system clock domain. |
| RAS0 / RAS1 / CAS0 / CAS1 | DRAM bank addressing | Independent row/column address strobes for dual-bank DRAM - allow interleaved access and hidden refresh during active cycles. |
| DTACK / AS / LDS / UDS | 68000 bus handshake | Standard Motorola 68000 asynchronous bus timing signals - ensure glueless interfacing with legacy peripherals and memory controllers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip descriptor RAM | 1152-byte dual-port RAM stores 128 Ethernet buffer descriptors - eliminates external SRAM and reduces DMA setup overhead. |
| Automatic collision handling | Internal retransmission and FIFO flush during collisions - removes CPU intervention and preserves bus bandwidth for other peripherals. |
| Dynamic bus sizing | Supports 8-bit peripheral devices on 16-bit bus via chip select logic - enables mixed-width system design without address decoding complexity. |
| Glueless DRAM interface | No external bus master required - DRAM controller generates RAS/CAS, refresh, and address muxing internally for direct connection to standard DRAM arrays. |
| Full-duplex Ethernet mode | 20 Mbps aggregate throughput - allows simultaneous transmit/receive without carrier sense contention, ideal for switched LAN edge nodes. |
Applications
| ISDN-to-Ethernet Router | Remote Dial-In Access Server |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar integrated multiprotocol processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC68302FC16B | Lacks integrated Ethernet controller and DRAM controller; operates at 16 MHz; uses 132-pin PQFP package. | Suitable only for serial-only applications requiring no LAN connectivity or external DRAM management. | Select when Ethernet functionality is unnecessary and cost-sensitive designs prioritize mature, widely supported silicon. |
| MC68360VR33B | Includes QUICC engine with enhanced Ethernet (10/100 Mbps), but no DRAM controller; 33 MHz operation; 240-pin PBGA package. | Targets higher-throughput routers and requires external SDRAM controller; lacks native DRAM bank control and parity support. | Choose for scalable 100 Mbps upgrades where external memory management is acceptable and board area permits larger package. |
Compared with MC68302FC16B and MC68360VR33B, the MC68EN302PV25BT uniquely combines Ethernet + DRAM control in a compact 144-pin TQFP at 25 MHz - making it optimal for cost-constrained, space-limited embedded bridges where both LAN connectivity and local memory management must be integrated.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC68EN302PV25BT?
The MC68EN302PV25BT is rated for 25 MHz operation under 5 V supply and 0°C to 70°C ambient conditions. This speed enables zero-wait-state DRAM access with 80 ns parts and deterministic Ethernet frame processing at 10 Mbps. The "25" in the part number explicitly denotes this frequency grade, and timing margins are validated per Freescale's MC68EN302 Addendum documentation.
Does the MC68EN302PV25BT include an integrated Ethernet PHY?
No, the MC68EN302PV25BT contains only the Ethernet MAC layer and controller logic - not a physical layer transceiver. It requires an external PHY or EEST device such as the MC68160 for twisted-pair or AUI media interface. The RX/TX pins are digital MAC outputs that must be conditioned and level-shifted before connecting to physical media.
How many DRAM banks does the MC68EN302PV25BT support, and what are the size limits?
The MC68EN302PV25BT supports two independent DRAM banks via RAS0/RAS1 and CAS0/CAS1 signals. Each bank is programmable from 128 KB to 8 MB in discrete steps, allowing asymmetric memory allocation - for example, 2 MB for packet buffers and 4 MB for application code. Bank sizes are configured through dedicated mode registers accessible via the 68000 bus.
Is the MC68EN302PV25BT pin-compatible with the standard MC68302?
No, the MC68EN302PV25BT is not pin-compatible with the MC68302 due to added Ethernet, DRAM, and JTAG signals - expanding from 132-pin PQFP (MC68302) to 144-pin TQFP. Pin assignments differ significantly: e.g., RAS0/CAS0 appear on new pins (PA7/PB0), and Ethernet-specific signals (RX/TX/RENA) occupy previously unused locations. Board redesign is required for migration.
What debugging interfaces does the MC68EN302PV25BT provide?
The MC68EN302PV25BT provides full IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan support via TMS, TCK, TDI, TDO, TRST, and TDO pins - enabling structural testing, flash programming, and real-time debug access without halting CPU execution. It does not include BDM (Background Debug Mode) like later ColdFire derivatives; JTAG is the sole standardized debug interface defined for this device.
