Product details
Overview
MC9S08AC60CPUER from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is an 8-bit HCS08 microcontroller with 60 KB on-chip FLASH, 2 KB RAM, and a 40-MHz CPU core operating at 20-MHz bus frequency. It integrates dual SCI modules supporting LIN 2.0 and SAE J2602, a 16-channel 10-bit ADC, three timer/PWM modules, I²C, SPI, and hardware CRC - deployed in automotive body control modules and industrial sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the MC9S08AC60CPUER datasheet, MC9S08AC60CPUER pinout, MC9S08AC60CPUER application, or MC9S08AC60CPUER equivalent, key selection criteria include QFN-48 package compatibility, COP watchdog with independent 1 kHz clock source, dual SCI with master/slave extended break handling, and FLASH security options for firmware protection in safety-critical embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MC9S08AC60CPUER implements the S08CPUV2 core with HC08 instruction set extension including BGND, and supports active background debugging via on-chip ICE module with two comparators and nine trigger modes. Its internal clock generator (ICG) uses NVM-trimmed RC oscillators to deliver stable system clocks without external crystals.
Peripherals are memory-mapped and synchronized to the 20-MHz bus clock; the TPM modules support buffered centered PWM across all channels, while the ADC includes automatic compare and temperature sensor input. The device enters Stop2/Stop3 modes with LVD and RTI retention enabled.

FAQ
What is the package type and lead pitch of the MC9S08AC60CPUER?
The MC9S08AC60CPUER uses a 48-pin QFN package (document number 98ASA00466D) with 0.5 mm lead pitch and an exposed thermal pad. This copper-wire-migrated package replaces earlier gold-wire variants and is fully compatible with standard QFN reflow profiles per JEDEC J-STD-020.
Does the MC9S08AC60CPUER support LIN 2.0 communication natively?
Yes, the MC9S08AC60CPUER supports LIN 2.0 natively through its two SCI modules, which implement master extended break generation and slave extended break detection per SAE J2602. No external LIN transceiver is required for basic node functionality, though physical layer compliance depends on external driver circuitry.
What debug interface does the MC9S08AC60CPUER use, and what capabilities does it offer?
The MC9S08AC60CPUER uses a single-pin Background Debug Mode (BDM) interface via the BKGD/MS pin. It supports in-circuit debugging with breakpoint setting, on-chip ICE with two comparators, eight-deep FIFO for flow tracing, and tag/force breakpoint modes - all without requiring additional debug headers or JTAG adapters.
How does the MC9S08AC60CPUER handle low-voltage conditions during operation?
The MC9S08AC60CPUER includes a configurable Low-Voltage Detect (LVD) system that can generate either a reset or interrupt when VDD drops below a programmable threshold. It operates in all modes including Stop2 and Stop3, enabling safe shutdown or battery warning before functional failure occurs.
Is FLASH memory security implemented in hardware on the MC9S08AC60CPUER?
Yes, FLASH security is implemented in hardware via dedicated FOPT and NVOPT register bits. When enabled, these prevent external read-out of FLASH contents and block mass erase commands, providing tamper resistance for firmware intellectual property in deployed MC9S08AC60CPUER units.
