NXP Semiconductors MC9S08DZ60ACLF

Overview

MC9S08DZ60ACLF from NXP (formerly Freescale) is an 8-bit HCS08 microcontroller with 60 KB on-chip Flash, 4 KB RAM, and 2 KB in-circuit programmable EEPROM. It integrates CAN 2.0A/B, dual SCI with LIN 2.0 support, 12-bit ADC (24-channel), two analog comparators, RTC, and six-channel TPM - designed for automotive body electronics and industrial control nodes requiring robust communication and mixed-signal processing.

For engineers reviewing the MC9S08DZ60ACLF datasheet, MC9S08DZ60ACLF pinout, MC9S08DZ60ACLF application, or MC9S08DZ60ACLF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 64-pin LQFP package, CAN + LIN dual-protocol capability, real-time interrupt wake-up from Stop3 mode, and factory-trimmed internal reference clock for stable timing without external crystal.

Technical Context

The MC9S08DZ60ACLF implements the HCS08 CPU core running at up to 40 MHz (20 MHz bus), supporting 32 interrupt/reset sources and BGND instruction for single-wire background debug. Its Multi-Purpose Clock Generator (MCG) provides FLL/PLL modes with ±1.5% deviation tolerance using internal temperature compensation and factory-stored trim values.

On-chip peripherals include MSCAN with five receive buffers and flexible identifier filtering (2×32-bit, 4×16-bit, or 8×8-bit), dual SCIs compliant with SAE J2602 and LIN 2.0, and a 12-bit ADC achieving 2.5 μs conversion time with automatic compare and integrated temperature sensor.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC9S08DZ60ACLF CPU core?

The MC9S08DZ60ACLF CPU core operates at up to 40 MHz, with a corresponding 20 MHz bus frequency. This performance level is achieved using the on-chip Multi-Purpose Clock Generator (MCG) in PLL or FLL mode, and is fully supported across the device's rated temperature range (–40°C to 105°C) and supply voltage (2.7 V to 5.5 V). The MC9S08DZ60ACLF maintains timing compliance under these conditions per Freescale Document MC9S08DZ60 Rev. 4.

Does the MC9S08DZ60ACLF support CAN FD or only classical CAN?

The MC9S08DZ60ACLF supports only classical CAN per ISO 11898-1 (CAN 2.0A/B), with standard and extended data frames, remote frames, and five receive buffers. It does not implement CAN FD features such as flexible data-rate, higher payload lengths, or CRC enhancements. The MSCAN module in the MC9S08DZ60ACLF is hardware-limited to 1 Mbps classical CAN operation, as confirmed in Chapter 12 of the MC9S08DZ60 Rev. 4 datasheet.

How much EEPROM endurance does the MC9S08DZ60ACLF guarantee?

The MC9S08DZ60ACLF guarantees 100,000 write/erase cycles for its 2 KB on-chip EEPROM, with sector erase options of either 8-byte single-page or 4-byte dual-page granularity. Endurance testing was conducted per JEDEC standards across the full operating voltage (2.7–5.5 V) and temperature (–40°C to 105°C) range, and the specification appears in Section 4.5.2 ("Program and Erase Times") of the MC9S08DZ60 Rev. 4 datasheet.

Can the MC9S08DZ60ACLF operate from a 3.3 V supply while maintaining full peripheral functionality?

Yes, the MC9S08DZ60ACLF operates across a supply range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V, and all peripherals-including MSCAN, ADC, SCI, SPI, I²C, and TPM-remain fully functional at 3.3 V. Electrical characteristics for 3.3 V operation are explicitly specified in Appendix A (DC Characteristics) of the MC9S08DZ60 Rev. 4 datasheet, including timing parameters, ADC accuracy, and CAN bus voltage thresholds.

Is there a factory-programmed unique ID or serial number in the MC9S08DZ60ACLF?

No, the MC9S08DZ60ACLF does not contain a factory-programmed unique ID or serial number. While it includes a System Device Identification Register (SDIDH/SDIDL) that reports mask set and device revision information, this value is not globally unique per unit and is shared across production lots. Unique identification must be implemented externally or programmed into user Flash/EEPROM during manufacturing, as stated in Section 5.8.6 of the MC9S08DZ60 Rev. 4 datasheet.
