NXP Semiconductors MC9S08DV60CLF

Overview

MC9S08DV60CLF from NXP (formerly Freescale) is an 8-bit HCS08 microcontroller with 60 KB on-chip Flash, 3 KB RAM, and integrated CAN 2.0A/B controller, ADC, and real-time counter - designed for automotive body electronics and industrial control systems requiring robust communication and low-power operation.

For engineers reviewing the MC9S08DV60CLF datasheet, MC9S08DV60CLF pinout, MC9S08DV60CLF application, or MC9S08DV60CLF equivalent, key selection criteria include CAN protocol compliance, 12-bit ADC conversion time (2.5 μs), 40-MHz CPU clock, 53 GPIO pins, and support for Stop3/Stop2 low-power modes with RTC wake-up capability.

Technical Context

The MC9S08DV60CLF implements the HCS08 CPU core with HC08 instruction set extension (including BGND), supporting up to 32 interrupt/reset sources and operating at 40 MHz CPU / 20 MHz bus frequency. Its Multi-Purpose Clock Generator (MCG) provides FLL- and PLL-based clock synthesis with internal reference trim stored in Flash and ±1.5% FLL accuracy using temperature compensation.

System-level protection includes COP watchdog with dual-clock source (1 kHz internal or bus clock), low-voltage detect with configurable trip points, illegal opcode/address detection, and Flash block protection. Peripheral integration centers on MSCAN with five receive buffers, FIFO storage, and programmable identifier filters (2×32-bit, 4×16-bit, or 8×8-bit).

FAQ

What is the maximum CPU clock frequency supported by the MC9S08DV60CLF?

The MC9S08DV60CLF supports a maximum CPU clock frequency of 40 MHz, with a corresponding bus clock of 20 MHz. This timing is achieved via the Multi-Purpose Clock Generator (MCG) in PLL or FLL mode, using either internal or external reference sources. The MC9S08DV60CLF datasheet specifies electrical characteristics up to this frequency under rated voltage and temperature conditions.

Does the MC9S08DV60CLF include an integrated CAN transceiver?

No, the MC9S08DV60CLF integrates only the CAN protocol controller (MSCAN module), not the physical layer transceiver. It requires an external CAN transceiver (e.g., TJA1042, MCP2551) connected to CANH and CANL pins. The MC9S08DV60CLF handles message framing, filtering, and error handling, while the transceiver manages differential signaling and bus termination.

How much Flash memory does the MC9S08DV60CLF have, and is it reprogrammable in-system?

The MC9S08DV60CLF contains 60 KB of on-chip Flash memory that supports in-system read, program, and erase operations across the full operating voltage and temperature range. Programming and erasing are performed via the single-wire background debug interface or through application firmware using Flash command sequences defined in the MC9S08DV60CLF reference manual.

What low-power modes are available on the MC9S08DV60CLF, and which peripherals remain active in Stop3 mode?

The MC9S08DV60CLF supports Run, Wait, Stop2, and Stop3 modes. In Stop3 mode, the CPU, bus, and most peripherals halt, but the Real-Time Counter (RTC) continues running using its internal 1 kHz oscillator. The RTC can generate interrupts to wake the MCU, and the MSCAN module retains message buffering capability - though transmission/reception is suspended until exit from Stop3. The MC9S08DV60CLF maintains RAM contents and register states during Stop3.

Is the MC9S08DV60CLF pin-compatible with other members of the DV-series, such as MC9S08DV48CLF?

No, the MC9S08DV60CLF is not fully pin-compatible with lower-density DV-series variants like MC9S08DV48CLF or MC9S08DV32CLF when packaged in the same 64-pin LQFP. While they share identical pinouts within the same package option (e.g., 64-pin LQFP), differences in peripheral enablement and register mapping mean firmware and hardware design must be validated per specific part number. The MC9S08DV60CLF datasheet confirms shared pin assignments only for devices in identical package variants.
