Product details
Overview
MC9S08PA60AVLF from NXP Semiconductors is an 8-bit S08 core microcontroller designed for automotive and industrial control applications requiring robust operation across –40 °C to 105 °C. It delivers up to 20 MHz bus frequency at 2.7–5.5 V, integrates 60 KB flash, 4 KB RAM, and 256 B EEPROM, and supports three SCI (LIN-capable), two SPI, one I²C, and three FTM timer modules.
For engineers reviewing the MC9S08PA60AVLF datasheet, MC9S08PA60AVLF pinout, MC9S08PA60AVLF application, or MC9S08PA60AVLF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin assignments for the 48-pin LQFP package, real-world use cases in motor control and sensor interface systems, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and packaging differences.
Technical Context
The MC9S08PA60AVLF implements an enhanced HCS08 CPU core with four-level nested interrupt support and up to 40 interrupt/reset sources. Its clock system combines a precision internal clock source (ICS) with FLL-based frequency synthesis and an external crystal oscillator (XOSC) supporting 4–20 MHz crystals or 31.25–39.0625 kHz resonators.
System protection includes independent watchdog timing, programmable low-voltage detection with four warning thresholds and hysteresis, illegal opcode/address detection, and flash/RAM access protection. Debug infrastructure features single-wire background debug (BKGD), three hardware breakpoints, and an on-chip ICE module with two comparators and nine trigger modes.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MC9S08PA60AVLF?
The MC9S08PA60AVLF is rated for continuous operation from –40 °C to +105 °C ambient temperature, validated across its full 2.7–5.5 V supply range. This specification is guaranteed per NXP's MC9S08PA60 Series Data Sheet Rev. 4 (09/2019), Table 5 and Section 6.3.1, making it suitable for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments.
Does the MC9S08PA60AVLF support LIN communication natively?
Yes, the MC9S08PA60AVLF supports LIN 2.0/2.1 and ISO 17987-4 via its three integrated SCI modules, each featuring optional 13-bit break detection and NRZ encoding. The MC9S08PA60AVLF datasheet explicitly lists "SCI (LIN Capable)" in Table 1 and confirms LIN extension support in Section 7.4.1, enabling direct implementation without external transceivers in slave-node configurations.
What package type does the MC9S08PA60AVLF use?
The MC9S08PA60AVLF uses a 48-pin LQFP package (package designator "LF") with 0.5 mm lead pitch and RoHS-compliant lead-free finish. This is confirmed in Table 1 (Ordering Information) and Section 3.3 (Fields) of the MC9S08PA60 Series Data Sheet Rev. 4, where "LF" maps to 48-pin LQFP, and mechanical dimensions are specified in Section 8.
How much flash memory does the MC9S08PA60AVLF have, and what are its programming characteristics?
The MC9S08PA60AVLF contains 60,864 bytes (60 KB) of on-chip flash memory, fully spec'd for read/program/erase operations across the full –40 °C to 105 °C temperature range and 2.7–5.5 V supply. As documented in Section 1 and Table 1 of the MC9S08PA60 Series Data Sheet Rev. 4, it supports program-while-execute and erase-while-execute capabilities, enabling firmware updates without halting application execution.
Can the MC9S08PA60AVLF operate in ultra-low-power modes, and what is the minimum current draw?
Yes, the MC9S08PA60AVLF supports Stop3 mode with typical current consumption of 1.4 µA at 5 V and –40 °C to 105 °C, as measured with only the 1 kHz LPO clock active. This value is specified in Table 5 (Supply Current Characteristics), item #6 of the MC9S08PA60 Series Data Sheet Rev. 4. Peripheral clocks can be selectively re-enabled in Stop3 to balance power savings against wake-up latency.
