Product details
Overview
MC908AS60ACFUE from Freescale Semiconductor is an 8-bit HCS08 microcontroller featuring 60 KB on-chip FLASH-1 memory, 2 KB RAM, dual EEPROM modules (512 B each), and integrated MSCAN 08 controller for CAN 2.0A/B communication. It operates at up to 40 MHz bus frequency with internal PLL clock generation and supports 5V operation in a 64-pin QFP package. It is used in automotive body control modules requiring robust CAN networking and nonvolatile parameter storage.
For engineers reviewing the MC908AS60ACFUE datasheet, MC908AS60ACFUE pinout, MC908AS60ACFUE application, or MC908AS60ACFUE equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual EEPROM architecture for wear-leveling, MSCAN 08 compliance with ISO 11898-1, 40 MHz maximum bus speed, and support for STOP/WAIT low-power modes in automotive environments.
Technical Context
The MC908AS60ACFUE implements the HCS08 CPU core with enhanced addressing modes and a 16-bit index register. Its System Integration Module (SIM) manages reset sources including Power-On Reset, COP watchdog timeout, and Low-Voltage Inhibit, ensuring deterministic startup and fault recovery in harsh electrical environments.
It integrates two independent EEPROM modules (EEPROM-1 and EEPROM-2), each with dedicated control registers, timebase dividers, and block protection-enabling concurrent read/write operations and firmware-safe parameter updates without halting program execution.

| Computer Operating Properly (COP) | Watchdog timer with selectable timeout (0.5 ms to 1.0 s); resets MCU if software fails to service it within window. |
| STOP/WAIT low-power modes | STOP mode draws <10 µA (typ.) while retaining RAM and register contents; wake-up via IRQ, KBI, or reset. |
Applications
| Body Control Module (BCM) | Door Module Controller |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Centralized management of lighting, window lifts, mirror adjustment, and door lock actuation in passenger vehicles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary MCU executing CAN-based command arbitration, sensor polling (switches, Hall effect), and PWM motor control. Use Value: Dual EEPROM enables persistent storage of user preferences (e.g., mirror position) with >100k write cycles; MSCAN08 ensures interoperability with vehicle-wide CAN backbone. |
Use Scenario: Local control unit inside vehicle door housing, managing window regulator, power lock, and anti-pinch detection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Real-time executor of safety-critical window motion profiles using ADC feedback and timer-based PWM. Use Value: 40 MHz bus speed supports sub-millisecond response to switch inputs; STOP mode enables ultra-low quiescent current (<10 µA) when door is closed and inactive. |
| Roof Module (Sunroof/Convertibles) | Seat Position Memory System |
Use Scenario: Control of sunroof glass/motorized shade movement, pinch detection, and rain-sensing auto-close logic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Safety-critical motion controller interfacing with potentiometers, limit switches, and motor drivers via GPIO and PWM. Use Value: Integrated 10-bit ADC (8 channels) directly samples analog position sensors; dual EEPROM stores calibrated end-stop values across lifetime. |
Use Scenario: Storing and recalling driver seat position (fore/aft, height, lumbar) based on key-fob ID or button press. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Nonvolatile configuration manager communicating over CAN to central BCM and reading EEPROM-stored profiles. Use Value: Independent EEPROM-1/EEPROM-2 blocks allow background profile writes without interrupting active seat motion control loops. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC908AZ60ACFUE | Same HCS08 core and memory map, but includes additional analog features: 12-bit ADC (vs. 10-bit), extra I/O pins (Port G/H extended), and enhanced voltage regulator. | Preferred for designs requiring higher-resolution sensor acquisition or expanded peripheral routing; not pin-compatible due to different pin count (80-pin vs. 64-pin). | Select MC908AZ60ACFUE only if higher ADC resolution or additional I/O is required; verify PCB layout compatibility. |
| S9KEAZN64AMLH | Kinetis E-series ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU with 64 KB FLASH, 8 KB RAM, and CAN FD support; requires different toolchain and boot process. | Targets next-generation automotive nodes needing CAN FD bandwidth or RTOS scalability; lacks native HCS08 code compatibility. | Choose S9KEAZN64AMLH for future-proofing or CAN FD migration; avoid for drop-in replacement of legacy HCS08 firmware. |
Compared with MC908AZ60ACFUE, the MC908AS60ACFUE offers identical CAN and EEPROM functionality in a smaller 64-pin footprint but trades off ADC resolution and I/O count; versus S9KEAZN64AMLH, it delivers proven HCS08 toolchain continuity and lower gate count for cost-sensitive body electronics.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC908AS60ACFUE?
The MC908AS60ACFUE achieves a maximum bus frequency of 40 MHz using its internal PLL clock generator. This is derived from an external crystal (1–8 MHz) multiplied by a programmable factor (up to ×32). The PLL supports both manual and automatic bandwidth modes to optimize jitter and lock time for specific crystal tolerances. MC908AS60ACFUE maintains full functionality-including CAN, ADC, and EEPROM operations-at this rated speed.
Does the MC908AS60ACFUE support CAN FD?
No, the MC908AS60ACFUE integrates the MSCAN08 controller, which complies strictly with CAN 2.0A/B (ISO 11898-1) and does not support CAN FD features such as flexible data-rate or extended data length. It operates at up to 1 Mbit/s in classic CAN mode. For CAN FD requirements, designers should consider NXP's S32K or Kinetis E-series alternatives-not MC908AS60ACFUE.
How many EEPROM modules does the MC908AS60ACFUE have, and what is their capacity?
The MC908AS60ACFUE contains two independent EEPROM modules: EEPROM-1 and EEPROM-2, each with 512 bytes of nonvolatile storage. They feature separate control registers, timebase dividers, and block protection schemes, enabling concurrent access and wear-leveling strategies. This architecture allows one module to be written while the other is read-critical for reliable parameter logging in automotive applications using MC908AS60ACFUE.
What low-power modes are supported by the MC908AS60ACFUE?
The MC908AS60ACFUE supports WAIT and STOP low-power modes. In WAIT mode, the CPU halts while peripherals remain active; in STOP mode, clocks are gated and current drops to <10 µA (typ.), retaining RAM and register contents. Wake-up is possible via IRQ, keyboard interrupt (KBI), or reset. These modes are essential for battery-powered automotive modules where MC908AS60ACFUE must meet stringent quiescent current targets.
Is the MC908AS60ACFUE pin-compatible with the MC908AZ60ACFUE?
No, the MC908AS60ACFUE (64-pin LQFP) is not pin-compatible with the MC908AZ60ACFUE (80-pin LQFP). Although both share the same HCS08 core and memory architecture, the AZ60 variant adds Port G/H pins, extra ADC channels, and enhanced voltage regulation-requiring a different PCB layout. Migration from MC908AS60ACFUE to MC908AZ60ACFUE necessitates board redesign, not just firmware update.
