Product details
Overview
MC705B16NCBE from Freescale is an 8-bit HCMOS microcontroller featuring 16 KB on-chip ROM, 256 bytes RAM, a 10-bit ADC with 8 input channels, two 16-bit programmable timers with input capture/output compare, and an asynchronous serial communications interface (SCI). It operates at up to 4 MHz internal bus speed and targets embedded control in automotive body electronics, industrial sensors, and appliance motor control.
For engineers reviewing the MC705B16NCBE datasheet, MC705B16NCBE pinout, MC705B16NCBE application, or MC705B16NCBE equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated package mapping (52-pin PLCC), confirmed pin roles, real-world use context, and two technically documented alternative parts for design continuity planning.
Technical Context
The MC705B16NCBE implements the M68HC05 CPU core with 59 instructions, supports single-chip and bootstrap modes, and integrates a COP watchdog timer with STOP/WAIT/SLOW low-power states. Its SCI operates in two-wire mode with idle- and address-mark wake-up capability, and its A/D converter uses successive approximation with software-triggered conversion.
Timer subsystem includes dual 16-bit free-running counters with independent input capture (ICR1/ICR2) and output compare (OCR1/OCR2) registers, plus Pulse Length Modulation (PLMA/PLMB) outputs derived from timer overflow. All peripherals are accessible via memory-mapped I/O registers with dedicated control/status bits.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC68HC705B16CP | Same core, same 16 KB ROM, but in 64-pin QFP package with additional I/O and enhanced timer features | Requires PCB redesign due to different pin count and layout; supports higher I/O density and dual SCI channels | Select when board space allows larger package and additional peripherals are needed |
| MC68HC05B16CDW | Identical functionality and 52-pin PLCC package, but mask option includes on-chip EEPROM (512 B) instead of extended ROM | Enables field firmware updates and parameter storage without external memory; trades ROM size for nonvolatile data storage | Select when runtime configuration persistence or bootloader support is required |
Compared with MC705B16NCBE, MC68HC705B16CP offers expanded I/O and packaging flexibility at the cost of layout compatibility, while MC68HC05B16CDW trades ROM capacity for integrated EEPROM - making it suitable for applications requiring persistent settings but less program code space.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC705B16NCBE?
The MC705B16NCBE supports a maximum bus frequency of 4 MHz, derived from an external crystal or resonator connected to OSC1/OSC2. This corresponds to an instruction execution rate of approximately 1 million instructions per second (MIPS), sufficient for real-time control loops in appliance and sensor applications. The internal clock generator divides the oscillator input by two to produce the E-clock used by the CPU and peripherals. MC705B16NCBE performance remains stable across its specified 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range.
Does the MC705B16NCBE include on-chip EEPROM memory?
No, the MC705B16NCBE does not include EEPROM. It contains 16 KB of mask-programmed ROM and 256 bytes of RAM only. Unlike variants such as MC68HC05B16CDW, this part lacks nonvolatile data storage capability. Designers requiring field-updatable parameters or logging must add external serial EEPROM or use battery-backed RAM. MC705B16NCBE relies on ROM-based firmware and volatile RAM for runtime variables.
How many analog input channels does the ADC in the MC705B16NCBE support?
The MC705B16NCBE integrates a 10-bit successive-approximation ADC with eight analog input channels (AN0 through AN7), mapped to Port D pins PD0–PD7. These channels are selectable via software-controlled multiplexer bits in the A/D status/control register (ADSTAT). Conversion is software-triggered, and results are stored in the ADDATA register. MC705B16NCBE's ADC supports single-ended measurements referenced to VSS and VDD, with typical INL of ±1 LSB.
What low-power modes are supported by the MC705B16NCBE?
The MC705B16NCBE supports three hardware-controlled low-power modes: STOP (all clocks halted, minimum current draw), WAIT (bus clock disabled but peripheral clocks active), and SLOW (reduced bus frequency via internal divider). Entry is controlled by specific register writes and exit triggered by RESET, IRQ, or timer interrupts. MC705B16NCBE's STOP mode draws less than 10 µA typical, enabling battery-powered operation for extended periods in sensor or security applications.
Is the MC705B16NCBE pin-compatible with other members of the M68HC05 family?
MC705B16NCBE is pin-compatible with other 52-pin PLCC variants in the M68HC05B family, including MC68HC05B16 and MC68HC705B16N, sharing identical pin assignments for VDD, VSS, RESET, IRQ, OSC1/OSC2, RDI/TDO/SCLK, PLMA/PLMB, and all port pins. However, functional differences exist in memory size, peripheral enablement, and mask options - so firmware and system design must be verified against the specific variant's datasheet. MC705B16NCBE retains full electrical and mechanical compatibility within its PLCC footprint.
