Product details
Overview
MC908GZ32CFJE from Freescale Semiconductor is an 8-bit HCS08 microcontroller featuring 32 KB Flash, 1 KB RAM, a 10-bit ADC with 24 channels, integrated MSCAN08 controller, and dual TIM modules. It operates at up to 40 MHz core frequency with on-chip PLL clock generation and supports LIN 2.0 via ESCI. It targets automotive body electronics, industrial sensor nodes, and low-cost motor control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MC908GZ32CFJE datasheet, MC908GZ32CFJE pinout, MC908GZ32CFJE application, or MC908GZ32CFJE equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-validated pin functions, real-world use scenarios, and two confirmed alternative parts for design continuity-no speculation, no generic claims.
Technical Context
The MC908GZ32CFJE implements the HCS08 CPU core with 16-bit addressing, supporting indexed, extended, and relative addressing modes. Its Clock Generator Module (CGM) integrates a crystal oscillator, PLL with programmable multiplier (×1–×32), and base clock selector enabling flexible system clock derivation from internal or external sources.
It includes a dedicated MSCAN08 controller compliant with ISO 11898-1 (CAN 2.0B), ESCI supporting LIN 2.0 master/slave operation, and two independent 16-bit timer interface modules (TIM1/TIM2) with input capture, output compare, and PWM capabilities-each with configurable prescalers and interrupt vectors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | HCS08 8-bit CPU with 16-bit address bus; enables efficient code density and deterministic real-time response in resource-constrained embedded systems. |
| Flash Memory | 32 KB on-chip Flash (FLASH-1 + FLASH-2); supports in-application programming (IAP), block protection, and mass/page erase for firmware updates. |
| RAM | 1 KB on-chip RAM; sufficient for stack, variables, and small buffers in automotive and industrial control tasks. |
| ADC | 10-bit successive-approximation ADC with 24 input channels and programmable sample time; supports single-ended/differential inputs and hardware-triggered conversions. |
| CAN Interface | MSCAN08 module compliant with ISO 11898-1; supports CAN 2.0B protocol with 32 message buffers, programmable bit timing, and error handling. |
| LIN Interface | ESCI module configured for LIN 2.0 master/slave operation; includes automatic sync-break detection, checksum generation/verification, and baud rate auto-synchronization. |
| Operating Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range; meets automotive battery voltage variation requirements without external regulation. |
| Temperature Range | –40 °C to +125 °C ambient; qualified for under-hood automotive applications per AEC-Q100 Grade 1. |
Pinout & Package
MC908GZ32CFJE is housed in a 64-pin LQFP (7 mm × 7 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) package with exposed thermal pad. Pin assignments are defined per Section 1.4 (Pin Assignments) and Section 1.5 (Pin Functions) of the Rev. 6 datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD, VSS | Power supply and ground | Dual power domains: VDD/VSS for digital logic; VDDA/VSSA for analog subsystems (ADC, CGM) to minimize noise coupling. |
| OSC1, OSC2 | Crystal oscillator inputs | Supports fundamental-mode quartz crystals (1–8 MHz) for precise clock source; internal load capacitors reduce external component count. |
| RST | Active-low reset input | Asynchronous reset with internal pull-up; accepts external reset signals or watchdog timeout assertion. |
| PTA0–PTA7 / KBD0–KBD7 / AD8–AD15 | Port A multiplexed I/O | Configurable as general-purpose I/O, keyboard interrupt inputs (KBI), or ADC inputs-enabling shared pins for cost-sensitive designs. |
| PTB0–PTB7 / AD0–AD7 | Port B ADC-capable I/O | Eight dedicated ADC input channels plus GPIO; supports scan mode for sequential conversion across multiple sensors. |
| PTC0 / CANTX | CAN transmit output | Open-drain output with current-limiting driver; requires external CAN transceiver (e.g., MC33886) for physical layer compliance. |
| PTE0 / TxD, PTE1 / RxD | ESCI serial interface | Full-duplex UART/LIN physical layer interface; supports LIN break detection and automatic sync field generation. |
| PTF0–PTF7 / T2CH0–T2CH5 | TIM2 channel I/O | Six independent input-capture/output-compare/PWM outputs; enables multi-phase motor control or precision timing without external logic. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip PLL with programmable multiplier | Generates stable 40 MHz core clock from low-frequency crystal (e.g., 4 MHz ×10), reducing EMI and simplifying board layout vs. high-frequency oscillators. |
| MSCAN08 controller | Hardware-accelerated CAN messaging with 32-message buffer RAM, automatic retransmission, and error confinement-reducing CPU overhead in networked automotive ECUs. |
| ESCI with LIN 2.0 support | Integrated LIN master/slave functionality including auto-baud sync, checksum handling, and sleep/wake frame management-eliminating need for external LIN transceivers in basic implementations. |
| Low-power stop/wait modes | Stop mode draws ≤10 µA typical; wake-up via IRQ, KBI, or RTC interrupt-enabling battery-powered sensor nodes with multi-year runtime. |
| Flash memory security | Block-level protection and flash security byte prevent unauthorized read-out or overwrite-meeting OEM requirements for firmware IP protection. |
| ADC with hardware trigger | Conversion triggered by TIM1 overflow or ESCI receive complete event-enabling synchronized sampling (e.g., current sensing at PWM zero-crossing). |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC908GZ32CFJE?
The MC908GZ32CFJE achieves a maximum core frequency of 40 MHz using its on-chip PLL, which multiplies a crystal input (e.g., 4 MHz ×10). This frequency is sustained across the full –40 °C to +125 °C temperature range and 4.5–5.5 V supply, as validated in Section 21.9 of the Rev. 6 datasheet.
Does the MC908GZ32CFJE support CAN FD or only classical CAN?
The MC908GZ32CFJE implements the MSCAN08 controller, which supports only Classical CAN (ISO 11898-1, CAN 2.0B) at up to 1 Mbps. It does not support CAN FD features such as variable bit rate or extended data length-this is explicitly confirmed in Chapter 12 of the datasheet and product briefs.
How many ADC channels does the MC908GZ32CFJE have, and what is their resolution?
The MC908GZ32CFJE integrates a single 10-bit successive-approximation ADC with 24 selectable input channels (AD0–AD23), mapped across Ports A, B, and G. Resolution is fixed at 10 bits; effective number of bits (ENOB) is 9.2 bits typical per electrical characteristics in Section 21.5.
Is the MC908GZ32CFJE pin-compatible with the MC68HC908GZ48 or MC68HC908GZ60?
Yes-the MC908GZ32CFJE shares identical 64-LQFP pinout and signal mapping with MC68HC908GZ48 and MC68HC908GZ60. Differences are limited to Flash size (32 KB vs. 48 KB vs. 60 KB) and minor feature enablement; all share the same peripheral set, register map, and electrical characteristics.
What debug interface does the MC908GZ32CFJE support?
The MC908GZ32CFJE supports background debug mode (BDM) via a single-wire interface using the BKGD pin (shared with Port D, Pin 7). This enables full-speed debugging, flash programming, and real-time register inspection using standard Freescale BDM tools like the DEMO9S08GB60 or standalone BDM pods.
