Product details
Overview
MC9S08DZ60ACLC from NXP (formerly Freescale) is an 8-bit HCS08 microcontroller with 60 KB on-chip Flash, 4 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 deterministic timing.
For engineers reviewing the MC9S08DZ60ACLC datasheet, MC9S08DZ60ACLC pinout, MC9S08DZ60ACLC application, or MC9S08DZ60ACLC equivalent, key selection criteria include CAN protocol compliance, 24-channel 12-bit ADC performance, single-wire background debug interface, and support for stop-mode power management down to 1 µA.
Technical Context
The MC9S08DZ60ACLC implements the HCS08 CPU core running at up to 40 MHz (20 MHz bus), with hardware support for up to 32 interrupt/reset sources and a multi-purpose clock generator (MCG) offering FLL, PLL, and internal/external reference modes. Its MCG achieves ±1.5% frequency stability using factory-trimmed internal reference with stored trim value in Flash.
System-level protection includes COP watchdog with dual-clock source (1 kHz backup or bus clock), low-voltage detect with configurable trip points, illegal opcode/address detection, and Flash block protection - all enabling reliable operation in automotive-grade temperature ranges (–40°C to +105°C).

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MC9S08DZ60ACLC?
The MC9S08DZ60ACLC is rated for operation from –40°C to +105°C, meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 2 requirements for automotive under-hood and body electronics applications. This extended range ensures reliable performance in engine bay modules, door control units, and HVAC systems exposed to wide thermal cycling.
Does the MC9S08DZ60ACLC support CAN FD?
No, the MC9S08DZ60ACLC implements the legacy MSCAN module compliant only with ISO 11898-1 CAN 2.0A/B (up to 1 Mbps). It does not support CAN FD features such as flexible data-rate, larger payloads, or CRC enhancements. For CAN FD, consider NXP's S32K1xx series.
How many CAN message buffers does the MC9S08DZ60ACLC provide?
The MC9S08DZ60ACLC includes five receive buffers organized in FIFO structure within its MSCAN module, plus one dedicated transmit buffer. This configuration supports concurrent reception of multiple priority messages without software polling overhead - essential for real-time automotive network handling.
Can the MC9S08DZ60ACLC perform ADC conversions while in Stop mode?
Yes, the MC9S08DZ60ACLC supports ADC conversions in Stop3 mode using the internal 1 kHz low-power oscillator as the ADC clock source. This enables periodic sensor sampling (e.g., cabin temperature or battery voltage) with total system current below 1 µA - critical for always-on automotive modules.
Is the MC9S08DZ60ACLC pin-compatible with other DZ-series MCUs?
Yes, the MC9S08DZ60ACLC in the 64-pin LQFP package is pin-compatible with MC9S08DZ48ACLC, MC9S08DZ32ACLC, and MC9S08DZ16ACLC - sharing identical pin assignments, peripheral mappings, and electrical characteristics. This enables scalable design reuse across memory variants.
