Product details
Overview
MC9S08AC60CPUE from Freescale Semiconductor is an 8-bit HCS08 microcontroller featuring a 40-MHz CPU core, 60 KB on-chip FLASH memory, and 2 KB RAM. It integrates dual SCI modules supporting LIN 2.0 and SAE J2602, two SPI interfaces, I²C up to 100 kbps, 16-channel 10-bit ADC with auto-compare, and three 16-bit TPM timer/PWM modules - deployed in automotive body control modules requiring deterministic real-time response and flash security.
For engineers reviewing the MC9S08AC60CPUE datasheet, MC9S08AC60CPUE pinout, MC9S08AC60CPUE application, or MC9S08AC60CPUE equivalent, key selection criteria include its 48-pin QFN package with exposed thermal pad, COP watchdog with independent 1 kHz clock source, low-voltage detect interrupt/reset capability, and background debug system with ICE FIFO trace support.
Technical Context
The MC9S08AC60CPUE implements the HCS08 CPUV2 core with HC08 instruction set extension (BGND), operating at up to 40 MHz core frequency and 20 MHz bus frequency. Its internal clock generator (ICG) supports precision NVM-trimmed internal reference, crystal/resonator, or external clock inputs - enabling stable timing without external crystals in cost-sensitive applications.
System-level protection includes configurable COP watchdog with selectable clock source, low-voltage detection with interrupt or reset output, illegal opcode trap, and hardware CRC-16 module for memory integrity verification. Power management supports Wait mode plus Stop2 and Stop3 modes with selective peripheral retention and LVD operation enabled during stop.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC9S08AC60CPUE CPU core?
The MC9S08AC60CPUE features an HCS08 CPUV2 core with a maximum core frequency of 40 MHz. This enables fast instruction execution and low-latency interrupt handling essential for automotive real-time tasks. The internal bus operates at up to 20 MHz, and the core frequency is derived from the selected clock source - either internal ICG, crystal, or external clock - with programmable dividers ensuring timing flexibility across operating conditions.
Does the MC9S08AC60CPUE support LIN 2.0 communication natively?
Yes, the MC9S08AC60CPUE supports LIN 2.0 natively through its dual Serial Communication Interface (SCI) modules. Each SCI includes master extended break generation and slave extended break detection capabilities, meeting SAE J2602 timing requirements. The hardware-assisted break detection and synchronization ensure reliable node addressing and frame timing without CPU polling - a critical feature for automotive body network implementations.
What package type and pin count does the MC9S08AC60CPUE use?
The MC9S08AC60CPUE uses a 48-pin Quad Flat No-Lead (QFN) package with a 7 × 7 mm body and exposed thermal pad (package code 98ASA00466D). This copper-wire QFN variant replaces earlier gold-wire versions and is optimized for thermal performance and space-constrained automotive PCBs. Pin assignments match the documented 48-QFN outline, including dedicated VDDAD/VSSAD, BKGD/MS, and dual SCI signal routing.
How much on-chip FLASH and RAM does the MC9S08AC60CPUE provide?
The MC9S08AC60CPUE integrates 60 KB of on-chip FLASH memory with configurable block protection and security options, plus 2 KB of on-chip RAM. The FLASH supports in-application programming (IAP), burst programming, and vector redirection - enabling field firmware updates and bootloader implementation. The RAM is fully accessible during all active and wait modes, and retains content in Stop2/Stop3 modes when configured accordingly.
What debug and development support is built into the MC9S08AC60CPUE?
The MC9S08AC60CPUE includes an on-chip background debug system (BDM) with in-circuit emulation (ICE) support. It features an 8-deep FIFO for change-of-flow address storage, two hardware comparators, and nine trigger modes - enabling advanced debugging such as tag breakpoints, force breakpoints, and real-time trace without halting execution. Debug access occurs via the single-pin BKGD/MS interface compatible with standard Freescale BDM probes and IDEs like CodeWarrior.
