Product details
Overview
MC9S08DN60AMLF from NXP (formerly Freescale) is an 8-bit HCS08 microcontroller with 60 KB on-chip Flash, 2 KB RAM, and 2 KB in-circuit programmable EEPROM, operating at up to 40 MHz CPU / 20 MHz bus frequency. It integrates ADC, SPI, I²C, two SCI interfaces (one LIN 2.0–compliant), RTC, dual TPM modules, and analog comparators for embedded control in automotive body electronics and industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the MC9S08DN60AMLF datasheet, MC9S08DN60AMLF pinout, MC9S08DN60AMLF application, or MC9S08DN60AMLF equivalent, key selection criteria include Flash size (60 KB), 53 GPIO with configurable slew rate and pull devices, 12-bit 16-channel ADC with temperature sensor, real-time counter with 1 kHz low-power oscillator, and single-wire background debug interface.
Technical Context
The MC9S08DN60AMLF implements the S08CPUV3 core with HC08 instruction set plus BGND, supporting up to 32 interrupt/reset sources and vector redirection. Its Multi-Purpose Clock Generator (MCG) provides FLL and PLL modes with internal reference clock trim adjustment stored in Flash, enabling stable 20 MHz bus operation across voltage and temperature.
Peripherals include a 12-bit ADC with 2.5 μs conversion time and automatic compare, two analog comparators with bandgap reference option, one LIN-capable SCI (SAE J2602 compliant), and dual Timer Pulse-Width Modulators (TPM1: 6-channel, TPM2: 2-channel) supporting input capture, output compare, and edge-aligned PWM.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| S9S08DN60F1MLF | Same die, newer mask revision (F1 vs A); identical Flash/RAM/peripherals; updated electrical specs per Rev 3 DS | No functional difference; qualified for same automotive temp grade (−40°C to 105°C) | Select S9S08DN60F1MLF for new designs requiring latest production mask and documented jitter spec improvements |
| MC9S08DZ60CLH | 64-pin LQFP variant with CAN 2.0B controller instead of second SCI; same 60 KB Flash, 2 KB RAM, and ADC | Requires CAN physical layer (transceiver) but removes need for external CAN controller; not LIN-optimized | Choose MC9S08DZ60CLH when CAN bus integration is mandatory and LIN is unnecessary |
Compared with MC9S08DN60AMLF, S9S08DN60F1MLF offers identical functionality with enhanced PLL jitter performance, while MC9S08DZ60CLH trades LIN capability for integrated CAN - making it suitable for distributed control networks where CAN dominates over LIN.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC9S08DN60AMLF CPU and bus?
The MC9S08DN60AMLF features an HCS08 CPU core rated for up to 40 MHz operation, with a maximum bus frequency of 20 MHz. This timing is achieved using the on-chip Multi-Purpose Clock Generator (MCG) in PLL or FLL mode, and is validated across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to 105°C) and supply voltage (2.7–5.5 V). The MC9S08DN60AMLF datasheet specifies these values in Section 8.1.1 and Appendix A.
Does the MC9S08DN60AMLF support LIN 2.0 communication natively?
Yes, the MC9S08DN60AMLF includes SCI1 hardware that fully supports LIN 2.0 Protocol and SAE J2602 compliance, including master extended break generation and slave extended break detection. This capability is implemented in silicon and requires no external transceiver for basic LIN physical layer signaling - though a LIN transceiver is needed for bus-level compliance. The MC9S08DN60AMLF reference manual details register-level configuration in Chapter 13.
How much EEPROM memory does the MC9S08DN60AMLF have, and what are its erase characteristics?
The MC9S08DN60AMLF contains 2 KB of in-circuit programmable EEPROM with dual-page (4-byte) or single-page (8-byte) erase sectors. Erase operations can be aborted, and both program and erase functions operate while Flash code execution continues. These features enable reliable field updates of calibration data or configuration parameters without halting application code. The MC9S08DN60AMLF datasheet documents EEPROM timing and control in Section 4.5.2–4.5.5.
What debug interface does the MC9S08DN60AMLF provide, and how many pins does it require?
The MC9S08DN60AMLF uses a single-wire background debug (BDM) interface accessible via the BKGD/MS pin, requiring only one dedicated signal plus ground. This interface supports full-speed debugging, flash programming, and real-time bus capture without halting the CPU. No additional debug pins or external debug adapter are required - the MC9S08DN60AMLF integrates all necessary debug logic on-die per Chapter 16 of its datasheet.
Is the MC9S08DN60AMLF qualified for automotive temperature ranges?
Yes, the MC9S08DN60AMLF is specified for operation from −40°C to +105°C and is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 2 standards for automotive applications. Its design includes low-voltage detection with selectable trip points, COP watchdog with backup clock, and Flash block protection - all critical for under-hood and body-control use cases. The MC9S08DN60AMLF ordering information in Appendix C confirms this qualification.
