Product details
Overview
MC68HC705P6AMDW from Freescale Semiconductor is a 5V, 8-bit EPROM-based microcontroller featuring an M68HC05 CPU core, 4672 bytes of user EPROM, 176 bytes of on-chip RAM, a 4-channel 8-bit A/D converter, and a 16-bit timer with input capture/output compare. It operates in industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and supports serial I/O via SIOP - used in embedded sensor interface and motor control subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the MC68HC705P6AMDW datasheet, MC68HC705P6AMDW pinout, MC68HC705P6AMDW application, or MC68HC705P6AMDW equivalent, key selection criteria include EPROM programmability, COP watchdog enable/disable via MOR, SIOP LSB/MSB configuration, and support for STOP/HALT low-power modes in resource-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The MC68HC705P6AMDW integrates a static M68HC05 CPU core running at up to 2.1 MHz bus frequency (fosc/2), with dedicated registers for SIOP (SCR/SSR/SDR), timer control (TCR/TSR), and A/D conversion (ADSC/ADC). Its bootloader ROM (239 bytes) enables in-system programming without external EPROM programmers.
Pin functions are configurable via mask options: IRQ can be edge- or edge-and-level-sensitive; SIOP clock rate is selectable as fosc/8, /16, /32, or /64; and COP watchdog behavior is determined by MOR bit 0. The device supports three low-power modes - WAIT, HALT, and STOP - with different peripheral retention and wake-up sources.

Pinout & Package
MC68HC705P6AMDW is housed in a 28-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package (Case 751F), surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and JEDEC MS-012AC dimensions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Positive power supply | Connect to regulated +5 V; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor |
| VSS | Ground reference | System ground return; must be low-impedance path to minimize noise coupling |
| OSC1 / OSC2 | On-chip oscillator inputs | Support crystal (1–4 MHz), ceramic resonator, or external CMOS clock on OSC1 only |
| RESET | Active-high reset input | Drives MCU to known state; internal POR circuit ensures reliable startup at power-on |
| IRQ/VPP | Maskable interrupt / EPROM programming voltage | Configurable as level/edge-sensitive IRQ; VPP = 12.5 V during EPROM programming |
| PA0–PA7 | Port A bidirectional I/O | Programmable pull-ups and key-scan interrupts enabled via MOR; PC0/PC1 support high-current drive |
| PB5/SDO, PB6/SDI, PB7/SCK | SIOP serial interface pins | Full-duplex synchronous communication; SCK polarity and phase fixed, data order configurable |
| PC0–PC7 | Port C multiplexed I/O | PC3–PC6 serve as A/D inputs AD3–AD0; PC7 = VREFH analog reference input |
| PD5, PD7/TCAP | Port D general-purpose / timer input | PD7 doubles as timer input capture; PD5 is general-purpose I/O with no alternate function |
| TCMP | Timer output compare signal | Open-drain output; toggles or clears on compare match; requires external pull-up for logic-high level |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EPROM security lockout | MOR bit enables permanent disable of EPROM readback, preventing firmware reverse engineering |
| Configurable SIOP data order | MSB-first or LSB-first transmission selected at mask time - eliminates software bit-reversal overhead |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC68HC705P6ACDW | Same die, but rated for commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C); identical pinout and EPROM size | Suitable for non-industrial environments where ambient temperature stays within 0–70°C | Select MC68HC705P6ACDW only if operating environment is guaranteed within commercial spec; otherwise use MC68HC705P6AMDW for full industrial range. |
| MC68HC705P6A | Same functional silicon; suffix "DW" denotes SOIC package, while base part number omits package identifier | No functional difference - "MC68HC705P6A" is generic part number used in documentation and ordering matrices | MC68HC705P6A refers to the same device family; MC68HC705P6AMDW is the specific orderable SOIC variant with industrial temp grade. |
Compared with MC68HC705P6ACDW and generic MC68HC705P6A, the MC68HC705P6AMDW offers guaranteed operation from –40°C to +85°C and explicit SOIC packaging - making it the sole choice for new industrial designs requiring extended temperature compliance and surface-mount assembly.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC68HC705P6AMDW?
The MC68HC705P6AMDW supports an oscillator frequency (fosc) up to 4.2 MHz, yielding a maximum bus clock of 2.1 MHz (fosc/2). This timing governs instruction execution, A/D conversion, and SIOP baud rates. Electrical specifications in Chapter 14 confirm stable operation across the full industrial temperature range at this speed when powered at 5.0 V ±10%.
Does the MC68HC705P6AMDW support in-system programming?
Yes, the MC68HC705P6AMDW supports in-system EPROM programming via its built-in 239-byte bootloader ROM and SIOP interface. Programming requires applying 12.5 V to the IRQ/VPP pin while executing the bootloader sequence - no external EPROM programmer is needed. This capability is documented in Chapter 10 and enables field firmware updates.
How is the COP watchdog timer configured on the MC68HC705P6AMDW?
The COP watchdog timer on the MC68HC705P6AMDW is enabled or disabled permanently via bit 0 of the Mask Option Register (MOR), programmed during wafer fabrication. Once set, this configuration cannot be changed in-circuit. If enabled, the COP must be cleared regularly via the COP clear register to prevent reset - behavior confirmed in Chapter 3 and Section 4.3.2.
What A/D reference voltage options does the MC68HC705P6AMDW provide?
The MC68HC705P6AMDW uses a ratiometric A/D architecture where conversion results scale relative to VREFH. Pin PC7 is dedicated to VREFH input, allowing connection to an external precision reference or to VDD for supply-ratiometric measurements. Chapter 9 specifies that VREFH must be between 1.5 V and VDD, and accuracy depends on reference stability and noise rejection.
Can the MC68HC705P6AMDW operate from a 3.3 V supply?
No, the MC68HC705P6AMDW is specified only for 5.0 V ±10% operation. Chapter 14 Electrical Specifications lists absolute maximum ratings and DC characteristics exclusively for 5 V operation. While some marginal functionality may occur at 3.3 V, Freescale does not guarantee timing, A/D accuracy, or EEPROM reliability outside the 4.5–5.5 V range - use only with regulated 5 V supply.
