Product details
Overview
MC9S08DN32AMLC from NXP (formerly Freescale) is an 8-bit HCS08 microcontroller with 32 KB on-chip Flash, 2 KB RAM, and 2 KB EEPROM, operating at up to 40 MHz CPU / 20 MHz bus frequency. It integrates ADC12 (12-bit, 16-channel), dual analog comparators, SCI with LIN 2.0 support, SPI, I²C, two TPM modules (6+2 channels), RTC, and real-time interrupt capability - deployed in automotive body control modules and industrial sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the MC9S08DN32AMLC datasheet, MC9S08DN32AMLC pinout, MC9S08DN32AMLC application, or MC9S08DN32AMLC equivalent, key selection criteria include Flash size (32 KB), EEPROM endurance (100K erase/write cycles), 53 GPIO with configurable slew rate and hysteresis, and support for Stop3/Stop2 low-power modes with RTC wake-up - critical for battery-powered embedded control.
Technical Context
The MC9S08DN32AMLC implements the S08CPUV3 core with HC08 instruction set plus BGND, supporting up to 32 interrupt/reset sources and single-wire background debug. Its MCG module provides FLL and PLL clock generation with ±1.5% accuracy using internal temperature-compensated reference, factory-trimmed and stored in Flash.
Peripherals include a 12-bit ADC with 2.5 μs conversion time, automatic compare, and integrated temperature sensor; dual ACMPs with edge-selectable interrupts and bandgap reference option; and SCI1 compliant with LIN 2.0 and SAE J2602 - enabling robust serial communication in noisy automotive environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC9S08DN32AMLC CPU core?
The MC9S08DN32AMLC features an HCS08 CPU core rated for up to 40 MHz operation, delivering a 20 MHz bus clock. This frequency is achievable across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +105°C) and supply voltage range (2.7 V to 5.5 V), with timing validated per Freescale's Rev 3 datasheet. The MC9S08DN32AMLC uses internal clock generation via its MCG module to derive stable system clocks without external high-frequency oscillators.
Does the MC9S08DN32AMLC support LIN 2.0 communication natively?
Yes, the MC9S08DN32AMLC includes SCI1 hardware that fully supports LIN 2.0 protocol and SAE J2602 conformance, including master extended break generation and slave extended break detection. This capability is implemented in silicon and does not require software emulation. The MC9S08DN32AMLC's SCI module also supports standard UART/NRZ framing, making it suitable for both LIN network nodes and generic serial communication tasks.
How much EEPROM endurance does the MC9S08DN32AMLC provide?
The MC9S08DN32AMLC guarantees 100,000 erase/write cycles for its 2 KB on-chip EEPROM, with 4-byte dual-page or 8-byte single-page erase sectors. Erase operations can be aborted, and program/erase functions operate independently of CPU execution - enabling firmware updates or data logging while application code runs. This endurance rating is specified across the full operating temperature and voltage range and is validated per Freescale's characterization data.
What low-power modes are available on the MC9S08DN32AMLC?
The MC9S08DN32AMLC supports three primary low-power modes: Wait (reduced power), Stop2 (very low power), and Stop3 (ultra-low power). All modes retain RAM and register contents. Stop3 draws less than 10 μA typical with RTI enabled, using the internal 1-kHz oscillator for wake-up - eliminating need for external timing components. These modes are controlled via SPMSC1/SPMSC2 registers and are fully documented in Chapter 3 of the MC9S08DN32AMLC datasheet.
Is the MC9S08DN32AMLC pin-compatible with other devices in the DN-series?
The MC9S08DN32AMLC in the 32-pin LQFP package shares identical pinout with MC9S08DN16AMLC and MC9S08DN48AMLC in the same 32-pin variant, including function mapping for RESET, BKGD/MS, XTAL/EXTAL, ADC inputs, and GPIO. However, it is not pin-compatible with 48-pin or 64-pin DN-series variants due to differing pin counts and peripheral routing. Always verify package-specific pin assignments using Freescale's MC9S08DN60 Series Data Sheet, Section 2.1.
