Product details
Overview
MC9S08FL8CBM from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is an 8-bit S08 microcontroller with 8 KB flash, 768-byte RAM, and integrated peripherals including 12-channel 8-bit ADC, dual TPM modules, SCI, and 16-bit modulo timer. It operates up to 20 MHz at 4.5–5.5 V across –40 °C to +85 °C and targets cost-sensitive industrial control and sensor interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the MC9S08FL8CBM datasheet, MC9S08FL8CBM pinout, MC9S08FL8CBM application, or MC9S08FL8CBM equivalent, key selection criteria include its 32-pin LQFP/SDIP package, single-wire background debug interface, ICS-based clock system with FLL, low-power stop modes, and on-chip security circuitry for flash/RAM protection.
Technical Context
The MC9S08FL8CBM implements the HCS08 CPU core with HC08 instruction set plus BGND, supporting up to 32 interrupt/reset sources and nested priority via IPC. Its ICS module provides bus frequencies up to 10 MHz using internal reference (31.25 kHz trimmed) or external crystal/resonator (31.25 kHz–16 MHz), with FLL lock accuracy of ±2% over voltage and temperature.
Peripherals include a 12-channel 8-bit ADC with 2.5 μs conversion time, automatic compare, internal bandgap reference, and temperature sensor (1.7 mV/°C); two TPM modules (4-channel + 2-channel) supporting input capture, output compare, and edge-/center-aligned PWM; and one SCI with LIN extensions. All operate within 4.5–5.5 V supply range.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC9S08FL8CBM CPU core?
The MC9S08FL8CBM CPU core operates up to 20 MHz at 4.5–5.5 V across the full –40 °C to +85 °C temperature range. Its bus frequency is limited to 10 MHz, derived from the internal clock source (ICS) module's FLL output, which ensures timing compliance for all on-chip peripherals including ADC, TPM, and SCI.
Does the MC9S08FL8CBM support in-circuit debugging, and what interface is used?
Yes, the MC9S08FL8CBM supports in-circuit debugging via a single-wire background debug (BDM) interface using the PTA4/BKGD/MS pin. This allows breakpoint setting, register inspection, and flash programming without requiring a full JTAG connector, reducing PCB footprint and debug hardware cost compared to multi-wire solutions.
What are the low-power modes supported by the MC9S08FL8CBM, and what is the typical current draw in Stop3 mode?
The MC9S08FL8CBM supports two low-power stop modes (Stop2 and Stop3) and a reduced-power wait mode. In Stop3 mode with no clocks active, the typical supply current is 1.17 μA at 5 V and 25 °C. Additional current adders apply if ADC, ICS, or LVD remain enabled - e.g., ADC adds 163.88 μA in Stop3.
Can the MC9S08FL8CBM drive external loads directly, and what are its I/O drive strength specifications?
Yes, the MC9S08FL8CBM supports configurable I/O drive strength: high-drive mode delivers up to 10 mA sink/source per pin (VOL ≤ 1.5 V at 10 mA), while low-drive mode provides 2 mA. Total output current across all ports is limited to 100 mA. Output high voltage remains ≥ VDD – 1.5 V, ensuring reliable logic-level compatibility with 5 V peripherals.
Is the MC9S08FL8CBM pin-compatible with other devices in the S08FL family, and which packages are offered?
Yes, the MC9S08FL8CBM shares identical pinout and package options with the MC9S08FL16CBM - both are available in 32-pin LQFP (873A-03) and 32-pin SDIP (1376-02). This enables hardware reuse across memory variants and simplifies design scalability. Pin functions, electrical characteristics, and thermal resistance values match across both variants per Freescale MC9S08FL16 Series Data Sheet Rev. 4.
