Product details
Overview
MC9S08DN60AMLH 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 (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 MC9S08DN60AMLH datasheet, MC9S08DN60AMLH pinout, MC9S08DN60AMLH application, or MC9S08DN60AMLH equivalent, key selection criteria include Flash size (60 KB), 64-pin LQFP package, 53 GPIO + 1 input-only pin, integrated LIN-capable SCI, and dual low-power stop modes with RTC wake-up.
Technical Context
The MC9S08DN60AMLH implements the S08CPUV3 core with HC08 instruction set plus BGND, supporting up to 32 interrupt/reset sources and a dedicated single-wire background debug interface. Its Multi-Purpose Clock Generator (MCG) provides FLL- and PLL-based clock synthesis with internal reference trimming and external crystal support (1–16 MHz).
Peripherals are tightly coupled to the bus architecture: ADC conversion time is fixed at 2.5 µs; TPM channels support input capture, output compare, and edge-aligned PWM; RTC operates from a free-running 1 kHz on-chip oscillator or external 32.768 kHz crystal for calendar/time-of-day functions.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| S9S08DN60F1MLH | Same die, newer mask revision (F1 vs A); identical Flash/RAM/peripherals; updated electrical specs per Rev 4 datasheet | No functional change; qualified for extended temperature range (−40°C to 105°C) vs −40°C to 85°C | Select when extended temp operation or latest production mask is required |
| MC9S08DZ60CLH | Same 60 KB Flash, but adds CAN 2.0B controller and enhanced ADC trigger flexibility; different pinout (64-pin LQFP, non-pin-compatible) | Required where CAN bus integration is needed (e.g., chassis networks); not suitable for drop-in replacement | Choose only if CAN communication is mandatory and PCB redesign is acceptable |
Compared with MC9S08DN60AMLH, S9S08DN60F1MLH offers identical functionality with extended temperature qualification, while MC9S08DZ60CLH trades LIN capability for CAN - making it unsuitable as a direct substitute but viable for CAN-centric designs requiring similar memory and I/O scale.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC9S08DN60AMLH CPU and bus?
The MC9S08DN60AMLH features an HCS08 CPU capable of running at up to 40 MHz, with a corresponding maximum bus clock frequency of 20 MHz. This timing is achieved using the on-chip Multi-Purpose Clock Generator (MCG) in PLL or FLL mode, supporting both internal trimmed reference and external crystal inputs. The MC9S08DN60AMLH maintains full functionality across its specified voltage and temperature range at these speeds.
Does the MC9S08DN60AMLH support LIN 2.0 communication natively?
Yes, the MC9S08DN60AMLH includes SCI1 hardware that is fully compliant with LIN 2.0 and SAE J2602 protocols. It supports master extended break generation, slave extended break detection, and wakeup on active edge - enabling direct implementation of LIN slave nodes without external protocol translation. This capability is confirmed in the official MC9S08DN60 Series Data Sheet Rev 3, Section 13.
How much Flash, RAM, and EEPROM does the MC9S08DN60AMLH integrate?
The MC9S08DN60AMLH integrates 60 KB of on-chip Flash memory, 2 KB of RAM, and 2 KB of in-circuit programmable EEPROM. Flash supports read/program/erase across full operating voltage and temperature ranges; EEPROM allows 4-byte dual-page or 8-byte single-page erase with abort capability. These values are explicitly stated in the "On-Chip Memory" section of the MC9S08DN60AMLH datasheet.
What power-saving modes are available on the MC9S08DN60AMLH?
The MC9S08DN60AMLH supports three primary low-power modes: Wait mode (reduced power), Stop2 (very low power), and Stop3 (ultra-low power). All modes retain RTC functionality and support real-time interrupt wake-up using either the internal 1 kHz oscillator or external 32.768 kHz crystal. Stop3 mode draws minimal current while preserving RAM and register contents - ideal for battery-powered applications requiring periodic wake-up.
Is the MC9S08DN60AMLH pin-compatible with other members of the DN-series like MC9S08DN48?
No, the MC9S08DN60AMLH is not pin-compatible with lower-density variants such as MC9S08DN48 or MC9S08DN32 when packaged in the same 64-pin LQFP. While all DN-series parts share the same pinout *within the same package option*, MC9S08DN48 and MC9S08DN32 are typically offered in smaller packages (e.g., 48-pin or 32-pin LQFP). The MC9S08DN60AMLH's 64-pin LQFP footprint is unique to the 60 KB variant in this family.
