Product details
Overview
MC9S08PL60CQH from NXP Semiconductors is an 8-bit S08 core microcontroller designed for embedded control in industrial and automotive subsystems. It delivers up to 20 MHz bus operation across –40 °C to +85 °C, integrates 60 KB flash, 4 KB RAM, and 256 B EEPROM, and supports three SCI modules with LIN capability - enabling robust serial communication in motor control and sensor interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the MC9S08PL60CQH datasheet, MC9S08PL60CQH pinout, MC9S08PL60CQH application, or MC9S08PL60CQH equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated package mapping (64-pin QFP), confirmed peripheral timing (e.g., 2.5 µs ADC conversion), and real-world use cases aligned with NXP's documented design scope.
Technical Context
The MC9S08PL60CQH implements an enhanced HCS08 CPU core with four-level nested interrupt support and up to 40 interrupt/reset sources. Its clock system combines a 31.25 kHz–20 MHz external oscillator (XOSC) and an internal clock source (ICS) with FLL-based frequency multiplication and factory-trimmed reference yielding ±2% accuracy over –40 °C to +85 °C.
Peripherals include a 16-channel 10-bit ADC with stop-mode operation and hardware trigger, three FlexTimer Modules (6+2+2 channels), one I²C interface (400 kbps), three LIN-capable SCIs, and dedicated CRC and RTC modules - all managed via a unified System Integration Module (SIM) with configurable clock gating and power mode control.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| S9S08PL60F2MLC | Same S08 core, identical 60 KB flash/RAM/EEPROM, but in 32-pin LQFP; fewer GPIOs (30 vs. 57) and reduced ADC channels (12 vs. 16) | Suitable for space-constrained designs where full I/O count is not required; lacks PTA2/PTA3 true open-drain outputs | Select when PCB footprint reduction outweighs I/O and analog channel needs |
| MC9S08AC60CFUE | Same 60 KB flash, but S08AC family: higher max bus frequency (40 MHz), no LIN support, different peripheral set (no RTC, single SCI), 48-pin QFP | Better suited for high-speed digital control without LIN or real-time logging; lacks stop-mode ADC and KBI flexibility | Choose for compute-intensive tasks where LIN, RTC, or low-power analog acquisition are unnecessary |
Compared with S9S08PL60F2MLC and MC9S08AC60CFUE, the MC9S08PL60CQH uniquely balances high I/O count (57 pins), LIN-capable serial interfaces, stop-mode ADC operation, and ultra-low Stop3 current - making it optimal for feature-rich, battery-aware automotive and industrial control nodes requiring both connectivity and peripheral integration.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC9S08PL60CQH?
The MC9S08PL60CQH supports a maximum bus frequency of 20 MHz across its full operating voltage range (2.7 V to 5.5 V) and temperature range (–40 °C to +85 °C). This is achieved using either the internal clock source (ICS) with FLL or an external crystal/resonator connected to the XOSC circuit, with the ICS trimmed to maintain ±2% accuracy over temperature.
Does the MC9S08PL60CQH support LIN communication?
Yes, the MC9S08PL60CQH supports LIN communication through its three serial communication interface (SCI) modules, each featuring optional 13-bit break detection and full-duplex NRZ format - meeting LIN 2.x physical layer requirements. SCI0, SCI1, and SCI2 can be configured as LIN master or slave nodes in automotive body electronics applications.
What package type is used for the MC9S08PL60CQH?
The MC9S08PL60CQH uses a 64-pin Quad Flat Package (QFP) with 0.8 mm lead pitch and an exposed thermal pad. This package is explicitly designated by the "QH" suffix in the part number and is validated in NXP's MC9S08PL60 Series Data Sheet Rev. 4 (06/2020) for thermal performance up to 105 °C junction temperature.
How much flash memory does the MC9S08PL60CQH have, and what are its programming characteristics?
The MC9S08PL60CQH contains 60 KB of on-chip flash memory, fully readable, programmable, and erasable across the entire operating voltage (2.7–5.5 V) and temperature (–40 °C to +85 °C) range. Flash operations support in-application programming (IAP), allowing code updates while executing from RAM, and include protection mechanisms to prevent accidental writes or reads.
Can the MC9S08PL60CQH operate in low-power modes while maintaining analog functionality?
Yes, the MC9S08PL60CQH supports analog functionality in low-power modes: its 10-bit ADC operates in Stop3 mode when configured with ADLPC = 1 and ADLSMP = 1, adding only 44 µA (5 V) to the base 1.45 µA Stop3 current. The analog comparator (ACMP) also remains active in Stop3, with typical IDD increase under 10 µA.
