FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC9S08DN32AMLH CPU core?
The MC9S08DN32AMLH CPU core operates at up to 40 MHz, with a corresponding 20-MHz bus frequency. This timing is achieved using the on-chip Multi-Purpose Clock Generator (MCG) in PLL or FLL mode, and is fully supported across the device's specified voltage (2.7–5.5 V) and temperature (−40°C to +105°C) ranges per the official datasheet.
Does the MC9S08DN32AMLH support LIN communication natively?
Yes, the MC9S08DN32AMLH includes SCI1 with hardware-level support for LIN 2.0 and SAE J2602 protocols-including master extended break generation and slave extended break detection. This eliminates the need for external LIN transceivers to implement basic LIN node functionality, though a physical-layer transceiver remains required for bus connection.
What package type and pin count does the MC9S08DN32AMLH use?
The MC9S08DN32AMLH uses a 48-pin low-profile quad flat-pack (LQFP) package measuring 7×7 mm with 0.5 mm pitch. This matches the pinout of the MC9S08DN48AMLH and MC9S08DN16AMLH variants, enabling footprint reuse across the DN-series family for scalable design.
Can the MC9S08DN32AMLH perform ADC conversions while in low-power stop mode?
No-ADC conversions are disabled in Stop2 and Stop3 modes. However, the MC9S08DN32AMLH supports ADC operation in Run and Wait modes, and its real-time counter (RTC) with 1 kHz internal oscillator can wake the device from Stop3 to initiate conversions in Run mode, enabling ultra-low average power in duty-cycled sensing applications.
Is there on-chip EEPROM in the MC9S08DN32AMLH, and what are its key characteristics?
Yes, the MC9S08DN32AMLH integrates 2 KB of in-circuit programmable EEPROM. It supports 4-byte dual-page or 8-byte single-page erase sectors, allows program and erase operations while executing Flash code, and includes erase abort capability-enabling reliable data logging and field-updatable calibration storage without application interruption.
