Product details
Overview
MC9S08DN60MLH 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/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 requiring deterministic timing and low-power operation.
For engineers reviewing the MC9S08DN60MLH datasheet, MC9S08DN60MLH pinout, MC9S08DN60MLH application, or MC9S08DN60MLH equivalent, key selection criteria include Flash size (60 KB), 64-pin LQFP package, 12-bit 16-channel ADC with temperature sensor, LIN-compliant SCI, and dual-stop mode power management for battery-powered systems.
Technical Context
The MC9S08DN60MLH implements the S08CPUV3 core with HC08 instruction set plus BGND, supporting up to 32 interrupt/reset sources and single-wire background debug. Its Multi-Purpose Clock Generator (MCG) provides FLL and PLL modes with ±1.5% internal reference accuracy and factory-trimmed IRC.
Peripherals include a 12-bit ADC with 2.5 μs conversion time and internal bandgap reference, two ACMPs with edge-selectable interrupts, and TPM modules supporting input capture, output compare, and edge-aligned PWM - all functional in Wait and Stop3 modes with RTC wake-up from 1 kHz internal oscillator.

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 core, Flash, RAM, and peripherals; differs only in mask set revision and minor electrical spec refinements (e.g., updated PLL jitter spec per Rev 3 DS) | Identical use cases; qualified for same automotive temperature grade (–40°C to 105°C) | Select S9S08DN60F1MLH for new designs requiring latest mask set and documented PS issue resolutions. |
| MC9S08DZ60CLH | 60 KB Flash, but adds MSCAN module and enhanced I/O drive strength; lacks RTC and uses different MCG implementation | Better suited for CAN-based automotive sub-systems; not drop-in for RTC-dependent scheduling or LIN-only networks | Choose MC9S08DZ60CLH only when CAN physical layer integration is required and RTC functionality is unnecessary. |
Compared with MC9S08DN60MLH, S9S08DN60F1MLH offers identical functionality with updated silicon errata fixes, while MC9S08DZ60CLH trades RTC and LIN-optimized SCI for CAN support - making it unsuitable as a direct replacement unless CAN is mandatory and RTC can be omitted.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC9S08DN60MLH CPU and bus?
The MC9S08DN60MLH features an HCS08 CPU capable of running at up to 40 MHz, with a corresponding maximum bus frequency of 20 MHz. This timing is achieved using the Multi-Purpose Clock Generator (MCG) in PLL or FLL mode, and the specification is guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to 105°C) and supply voltage (2.7–5.5 V).
Does the MC9S08DN60MLH support LIN communication natively?
Yes, the MC9S08DN60MLH includes an SCI module (SCI1) explicitly designed to support LIN 2.0 and SAE J2602 protocols. It provides master extended break generation, slave extended break detection, and wakeup on active edge - enabling direct integration into LIN networks without external protocol translation hardware.
What are the power-saving capabilities of the MC9S08DN60MLH?
The MC9S08DN60MLH supports two very low-power stop modes (Stop2 and Stop3), a reduced-power wait mode, and a real-time interrupt that operates from a dedicated 1-kHz internal oscillator. These features allow the device to maintain timekeeping and wake on event while consuming microamp-level current - essential for battery-backed automotive and portable applications.
How much EEPROM and RAM does the MC9S08DN60MLH include?
The MC9S08DN60MLH integrates 2 KB of in-circuit programmable EEPROM organized in 4-byte dual-page or 8-byte single-page erase sectors, and 2 KB of on-chip SRAM. Both memories operate across the full voltage and temperature range, with EEPROM supporting program-and-erase-while-executing Flash functionality.
Is the MC9S08DN60MLH pin-compatible with other devices in the DN-series?
No - the MC9S08DN60MLH is offered exclusively in a 64-pin LQFP package, whereas MC9S08DN48/DN32/DN16 variants are available in 48-pin and 32-pin LQFP packages. Pin count, I/O mapping, and peripheral register layouts differ across package options; migration requires PCB redesign and firmware adaptation.
