Product details
Overview
MC9S08JM8CLD from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is an 8-bit HCS08 microcontroller with 8 KB flash, 512 B RAM, USB 2.0 full-speed interface, 12-bit ADC, and dual SPI/I²C/SCI peripherals - designed for embedded control in USB-connected industrial sensors and low-power human-interface devices.
For engineers reviewing the MC9S08JM8CLD datasheet, MC9S08JM8CLD pinout, MC9S08JM8CLD application, or MC9S08JM8CLD equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (48-pin QFN), validated USB timing compliance, confirmed stop3-mode analog comparator operation, and real-world alternative part comparisons for migration planning.
Technical Context
The MC9S08JM8CLD implements the S08CPUV2 core with 48 MHz CPU clock and 24 MHz bus frequency, supporting BGND-based background debugging with three hardware breakpoints. Its MCG clock generator integrates both FLL and PLL modes, enabling flexible sourcing from crystal, resonator, or external clock inputs with internal reference trimming.
Peripherals include a dedicated USB 2.0 full-speed (12 Mbps) controller with on-chip 3.3 V regulator and transceiver, two 16-bit TPM modules (1×2-channel, 1×4-channel) supporting edge-aligned and centered PWM, and an 8-channel 12-bit ADC with automatic compare and internal temperature sensor - all operable in Stop3 mode.

FAQ
What is the maximum CPU frequency supported by the MC9S08JM8CLD?
The MC9S08JM8CLD supports a maximum CPU frequency of 48 MHz, with a corresponding 24 MHz internal bus frequency. This timing is achieved using the on-chip MCG module's PLL mode, typically driven by an 8 MHz crystal to meet USB full-speed timing requirements. The MC9S08JM8CLD maintains stable operation across its specified voltage range (2.7–5.5 V) and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +105°C).
Does the MC9S08JM8CLD include an integrated USB transceiver?
Yes, the MC9S08JM8CLD integrates a complete USB 2.0 full-speed (12 Mbps) device transceiver with on-chip 3.3 V regulator, eliminating the need for external PHY components. The USBDP and USBDN pins connect directly to the USB connector, and internal termination resistors and biasing circuits are enabled by default - reducing bill-of-materials count and PCB area for compact USB-peripheral designs using the MC9S08JM8CLD.
Can the MC9S08JM8CLD operate in low-power modes while maintaining USB connectivity?
The MC9S08JM8CLD supports Wait mode and Stop2 mode with USB suspend/resume capability, but not full USB activity in Stop3. In Stop2, the USB module retains its state and can detect resume signaling; in Stop3, only the analog comparator remains active. For sustained USB link maintenance, Wait mode is recommended - it reduces current draw while keeping the USB engine responsive. This behavior is explicitly defined in the MC9S08JM8CLD datasheet section "Modes of Operation" and verified in application note AN3782.
What debug interface does the MC9S08JM8CLD use, and what tools support it?
The MC9S08JM8CLD uses a single-wire Background Debug (BKGD) interface via the BKGD/MS pin, compatible with P&E Micro's USB-ML-12 and Segger J-Link adapters using OpenSDA firmware. This interface supports flash programming, real-time variable inspection, and hardware breakpoints without requiring additional pins. All debug functionality is implemented in the on-chip debug module described in the MC9S08JM8CLD datasheet Chapter 18, and no external debug probe license is required for basic development with the MC9S08JM8CLD.
Is the MC9S08JM8CLD RoHS-compliant and qualified for industrial temperature operation?
Yes, the MC9S08JM8CLD is RoHS-compliant and rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +105°C. It is packaged in a lead-free 48-pin QFN (98ASA00466D) with copper wire bonding, as documented in Freescale's QFN Addendum Rev. 0 (July 2014). The device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 and carries full qualification data for thermal cycling, HTOL, and ESD per AEC-Q100 stress test standards applicable to industrial-grade microcontrollers like the MC9S08JM8CLD.
