Product details
Overview
MC9S08SH8MTGR from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is an 8-bit HCS08 microcontroller with 8 KB Flash, 512 B RAM, and a 40-MHz CPU core. It integrates ADC (12-channel, 10-bit), dual TPM modules, SCI, SPI, I²C, RTC, ACMP, and low-power stop3 mode operation. Designed for cost-sensitive embedded control in automotive body electronics and industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the MC9S08SH8MTGR datasheet, MC9S08SH8MTGR pinout, MC9S08SH8MTGR application, or MC9S08SH8MTGR equivalent, key selection criteria include QFN-24 package compatibility, internal clock source (ICS) with FLL and ±2% accuracy over voltage/temperature, 17 GPIOs with configurable slew rate and pull-ups, and single-wire background debug support.
Technical Context
The MC9S08SH8MTGR implements the HCS08 CPU core with HC08 instruction set extension including BGND, supporting up to 32 interrupt/reset sources. Its internal clock source (ICS) uses a frequency-locked loop (FLL) with precision-trimmed internal reference enabling bus frequencies from 2 MHz to 20 MHz at ±2% deviation across -40°C to 125°C.
Peripherals operate in multiple power modes: ADC and ACMP remain functional in stop3 mode; RTC runs on a free-running 1-kHz low-power oscillator; SCI supports LIN master break generation and wake-up on active edge. The device includes FLASH block protection, COP watchdog with selectable clock source, and low-voltage detect with reset/interrupt options.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | HCS08 8-bit core, 40-MHz max operation - enables deterministic real-time control with low latency interrupt response. |
| Memory | 8 KB on-chip FLASH (read/program/erase over full VDD/temp), 512 B RAM - supports field firmware updates without external memory. |
| ADC | 12-channel, 10-bit resolution, 2.5 µs conversion time, internal bandgap reference - suitable for precision sensor interfacing with temperature compensation. |
| Power Modes | Stop3, Stop2, Wait, Run - stop3 retains RTC, ADC, ACMP, and 1-kHz LPO operation for ultra-low-power wake-up timing. |
| Clock Sources | External crystal (1–16 MHz or 31.25–38.4 kHz), internal ICS with FLL - eliminates need for external oscillator in many applications. |
| I/O | 17 general-purpose I/O pins + 1 output-only pin, all with hysteresis, configurable pull-ups, slew rate, and drive strength - simplifies PCB layout and noise immunity design. |
| Debug | Single-wire background debug interface with breakpoint capability - enables in-circuit debugging without dedicated JTAG pins or trace headers. |
Pinout & Package
MC9S08SH8MTGR is housed in a 24-pin QFN (Quad Flat No-lead) package with 4×4 mm body and 0.5 mm pitch, featuring an exposed thermal pad (EP) for enhanced thermal dissipation. Pin numbering follows standard QFN convention with pin 1 marked by dot or notch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD, VDDAD | Supply voltage inputs | VDD powers digital logic; VDDAD supplies analog peripherals - separation reduces noise coupling into ADC/ACMP. |
| VSS, VSSAD | Ground returns | VSS for digital ground; VSSAD for analog ground - independent return paths preserve signal integrity for precision analog functions. |
| XTAL, EXTAL | Crystal oscillator terminals | Supports Pierce oscillator configuration with crystals from 1 MHz to 16 MHz or 31.25–38.4 kHz - enables accurate timing for communication or RTC. |
| BKGD/MS | Background debug / mode select | Single-wire debug interface pin; also selects boot mode during reset - eliminates need for separate programming header in production designs. |
| PTA0–PTA7 | Port A general-purpose I/O | 8-bit port with interrupt capability, configurable pull-ups/slew rate - used for button sensing, LED control, or peripheral signaling. |
| PTB0–PTB7 | Port B general-purpose I/O | 8-bit port; PTB[5:2] support ganged output - allows atomic multi-pin state changes for synchronized actuator control. |
| PTC0–PTC3 | Port C general-purpose I/O | 4-bit port; PTC[3:0] support ganged output - ideal for driving segmented displays or grouped status indicators. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal Clock Source (ICS) | FLL-controlled with ±2% accuracy over -40°C to 125°C and full VDD range - eliminates external crystal for cost-sensitive timing-critical applications. |
| Real-Time Counter (RTC) | 8-bit modulus counter with binary/decimal prescaler and free-running 1-kHz LPO - enables cyclic wake-up from stop3 without external components. |
| Analog Comparator (ACMP) | Configurable interrupt on rising/falling/both edges; output routable to TPM - supports zero-crossing detection and hardware-triggered PWM modulation. |
| FLASH Block Protection | Programmable protection of FLASH sectors - prevents accidental overwrite of bootloader or calibration data during field updates. |
| Low-Voltage Detect (LVD) | Selectable trip points with reset or interrupt option - ensures reliable operation during brown-out conditions in automotive or battery-powered systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC9S08AC16CFGE | 16 KB FLASH, 1 KB RAM, same HCS08 core and peripheral set but in 48-QFN package - larger memory and more I/O, no ganged output on PTB/PTC. | Targeted at higher-complexity control tasks requiring extended code space and additional timers or communication interfaces. | Select when firmware size exceeds 8 KB or when >17 GPIOs and extra TPM/SCI channels are required. |
| S9KEAZ128AMLH | Kinetis E-series ARM Cortex-M0+ core, 128 KB FLASH, 16 KB RAM, 48-MHz operation - higher performance, modern toolchain, but larger footprint and higher power in active mode. | Used in next-generation designs where scalability, USB, or CAN support is anticipated; not drop-in compatible. | Choose for new designs needing future-proof architecture, though migration requires full software rework and PCB redesign. |
Compared with MC9S08SH8MTGR, MC9S08AC16CFGE offers expanded memory and I/O in a larger QFN, while S9KEAZ128AMLH provides ARM-based performance and peripheral richness at the cost of compatibility and power efficiency in low-duty-cycle applications.
