Product details
Overview
MC9S08AC60MFGER 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 up to 20-MHz bus frequency. It integrates dual SCI modules supporting LIN 2.0/SAE J2602, two SPI, one I²C (100 kbps), 16-channel 10-bit ADC, and three TPM timer/PWM modules - deployed in automotive body control modules and industrial sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the MC9S08AC60MFGER datasheet, MC9S08AC60MFGER pinout, MC9S08AC60MFGER application, or MC9S08AC60MFGER equivalent, key selection criteria include QFN-48 package compatibility, COP watchdog with independent 1 kHz clock source, hardware CRC module, background debug capability with three breakpoint slots, and VDDAD/VSSAD analog power domain separation for noise-sensitive ADC operation.
Technical Context
The MC9S08AC60MFGER implements the S08CPUV2 core with HC08 instruction set extension including BGND, supports wait + two stop modes (Stop2/Stop3), and features an on-chip ICE debug module with eight-deep FIFO and nine trigger modes. Its internal clock generator (ICG) uses NVM-trimmed RC oscillators with crystal/resonator fallback.
Peripheral integration includes dual SCI with master/slave extended break handling, I²C with 10-bit addressing, and three TPM modules offering input capture, output compare, edge-aligned PWM, and buffered centered PWM - all configurable per channel. The ADC supports automatic compare, hardware-triggered conversions, and internal temperature sensor readout.

Pinout & Package
MC9S08AC60MFGER is housed in a 48-pin QFN package (case outline 98ASA00466D), featuring an exposed thermal pad for improved heat transfer and mechanical stability. Pin assignments follow Freescale's standard HCS08 pinout layout with dedicated VDDAD/VSSAD analog supply pins, dual SCI TX/RX pairs, and multiplexed TPM/ADC/KBI functions across Ports A–G.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD, VSS | Digital power supply and ground | Core logic and digital peripherals operate at 2.7–5.5 V; separate VDDAD/VSSAD required for ADC accuracy. |
| VDDAD, VSSAD | Analog power supply and ground | Isolated analog domain reduces switching noise coupling into ADC measurements; mandatory for <1 LSB INL performance. |
| XTAL / EXTAL | Crytal oscillator input/output | Supports 1–32 MHz crystal or ceramic resonator; enables precise timing for LIN baud rate generation and RTC functions. |
| SCI0_TX / SCI0_RX | Serial communication interface 0 | Primary LIN bus interface; supports master break generation and slave break detection per SAE J2602 specification. |
| TPM1_CH0 / TPM1_CH1 | Timer/PWM channel outputs | Configurable as input capture, output compare, or edge-aligned PWM - used for motor phase control or LED current regulation. |
| AD0–AD15 | Analog input channels | 16 multiplexed ADC inputs; AD13 maps to internal temperature sensor - enables system thermal management without external IC. |
| BKGD/MS | Background debug and mode select | Single-pin debug interface; enables in-circuit programming and real-time variable inspection via BDM pod without halting MCU operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hardware CRC-16 Engine | Accelerates memory integrity checks during boot and firmware updates - reduces CPU load and ensures flash validation in <10 µs per 64-byte block. |
| Independent COP Clock Source | 1 kHz internal RC oscillator continues watchdog operation during bus clock failure - prevents system lockup in power-supply fault conditions. |
| Center-Aligned Buffered PWM | All TPM channels support CPWM mode with double-buffered period/compare registers - eliminates PWM glitches during runtime duty-cycle updates. |
| LIN 2.0 Protocol Support | SCI modules implement extended break generation/detection and sync field handling - eliminates need for external LIN transceivers in basic node applications. |
| Low-Voltage Detect (LVD) | Programmable trip points (2.5 V, 2.7 V, 2.9 V, 3.1 V) with interrupt or reset output - enables graceful shutdown before brownout-induced register corruption. |
