Product details
Overview
MC9S08DN60CLF 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, dual analog comparators, SCI (LIN 2.0/J2602), 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 MC9S08DN60CLF datasheet, MC9S08DN60CLF pinout, MC9S08DN60CLF application, or MC9S08DN60CLF equivalent, key selection criteria include Flash size (60 KB), 53 GPIO + 1 input-only pin, 12-bit 16-channel ADC with temperature sensor, MCG clock generator with FLL/PLL, and single-wire background debug interface.
Technical Context
The MC9S08DN60CLF implements the S08CPUV3 core with HC08 instruction set extension (including BGND), supporting up to 32 interrupt/reset sources and nested interrupt handling. Its Multi-Purpose Clock Generator (MCG) provides multiple modes - including internal reference clock (factory-trimmed 31.25 kHz or 1–16 MHz external crystal/resonator support), FLL (±1.5% accuracy with internal temp compensation), and PLL - enabling flexible system timing across voltage and temperature ranges.
On-chip peripherals are tightly coupled to power management: RTC operates from a free-running 1 kHz low-power oscillator for wake-up in Stop/Wait modes; ADC supports conversion during Flash execution; and COP watchdog can run from dedicated 1 kHz internal clock during bus clock failure. All I/O pins feature configurable slew rate, drive strength, hysteresis, and pull devices.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| S9S08DN60F2CLK | Same core, 60 KB Flash, but QFP-64 with lead-free RoHS-compliant finish and updated mask set (post-Rev 3 silicon) | Identical peripheral set and register compatibility; supports same development tools and BDM protocol | Preferred for new designs requiring current lifecycle status and extended temperature grade (–40°C to 105°C) |
| MC9S08DZ60CLF | Same package and pinout; adds CAN 2.0B controller and enhanced ADC trigger flexibility, but reduces GPIO count to 49 | Required where CAN bus integration is mandatory (e.g., chassis networks); not drop-in for pure LIN/UART systems | Select only if CAN interface is needed; otherwise MC9S08DN60CLF offers higher GPIO count and lower cost |
Compared with S9S08DN60F2CLK and MC9S08DZ60CLF, the MC9S08DN60CLF delivers optimal balance of Flash capacity, GPIO count, and LIN-focused peripherals for cost-sensitive automotive body electronics - without unnecessary CAN overhead or obsolescence risk.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC9S08DN60CLF CPU and bus?
The MC9S08DN60CLF features an HCS08 CPU core rated for up to 40 MHz operation, 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, and is validated across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to 85°C) and supply voltage (2.7–5.5 V). The MC9S08DN60CLF datasheet specifies timing parameters under these conditions in Appendix A.
Does the MC9S08DN60CLF support in-circuit programming of its EEPROM and Flash memory?
Yes, the MC9S08DN60CLF supports full in-circuit programming of both 60 KB Flash and 2 KB EEPROM over the entire operating voltage (2.7–5.5 V) and temperature range. Flash erase is performed in sectors with optional abort capability; EEPROM supports 4-byte dual-page or 8-byte single-page erase. Both memories allow concurrent program/erase and code execution - a key feature confirmed in Section 4.5 of the MC9S08DN60CLF datasheet.
What communication interfaces does the MC9S08DN60CLF include, and which support automotive protocols?
The MC9S08DN60CLF integrates SCI (supporting LIN 2.0 and SAE J2602), SPI, and I²C interfaces. Only the SCI module is explicitly qualified for automotive serial protocols - it provides hardware-generated extended break fields, slave break detection, and wakeup-on-active-edge functionality required by LIN physical layer specifications. The MC9S08DN60CLF does not include a CAN controller; that functionality is found in the DZ-series derivatives.
How many general-purpose I/O pins does the MC9S08DN60CLF provide, and what configuration options are available?
The MC9S08DN60CLF provides 53 general-purpose I/O pins plus one input-only pin (PTG7), all accessible in the 64-pin LQFP package. Each pin supports interrupt-on-change with selectable rising/falling/both-edge sensitivity, configurable pull-up/pull-down, hysteresis, slew rate, and drive strength - details documented in Chapter 6 of the MC9S08DN60CLF datasheet and verified in electrical characteristics tables.
Is the MC9S08DN60CLF compatible with modern NXP development tools and debug probes?
Yes, the MC9S08DN60CLF is fully supported by NXP's S32DS IDE (with legacy HCS08 plugin), CodeWarrior Development Studio for HCS08, and standalone P&E Micro USB-ML-128 and Cyclone FX debug probes. Its single-wire background debug (BDM) interface remains electrically and protocol-compatible with current toolchains, and the MC9S08DN60CLF device database is included in all recent versions of NXP's configuration utilities and flash programming software.
