Product details
Overview
MCF51AG96CLK from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a 32-bit ColdFire V1 microcontroller designed for industrial control and appliance systems. It integrates a 50.33 MHz CPU, 96 KB flash, 16 KB RAM, dual 12-bit ADC (up to 24 channels), two HSCMPs, FTM/PWM timers, IIC/SCI/SPI interfaces, and hardware CRC. It serves as a high-performance upgrade path from MC9S08AC128 in motor control and sensor-based embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MCF51AG96CLK datasheet, MCF51AG96CLK pinout, MCF51AG96CLK application, or MCF51AG96CLK equivalent, key selection criteria include its 96 KB flash size versus 128 KB in MCF51AG128, support for 64-pin LQFP/QFP packages, ColdFire ISA_C compliance, 2.7–5.5 V operation, and integrated low-voltage detection with interrupt/reset capability.
Technical Context
The MCF51AG96CLK implements the ColdFire V1 core with Instruction Set Revision C (ISA_C), delivering 0.94 DMIPS/MHz from internal RAM. Its system clock architecture combines an external crystal oscillator (1–16 MHz or 31.25–38.4 kHz) with an internal frequency-locked loop (FLL) featuring trimmable reference for ±2% deviation across –40°C to +105°C.
Peripheral integration includes a 4-channel DMA controller supporting IIC, SCI, SPI, FTM, ADC, RTC, and eGPIO; a programmable iEvent module for combinational boolean triggers; and dual high-speed comparators with DAC-based reference. Power management comprises three ultra-low-power stop modes and peripheral clock gating via the PCE register.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCF51AG128 | 128 KB flash, identical peripherals and pinout in 64-pin packages; same ColdFire V1 core and ISA_C | Supports larger firmware images and more complex RTOS stacks; no functional change in motor control or sensor node use cases | Select when firmware exceeds 96 KB or future scalability requires headroom without PCB redesign |
| Kinetis K22F51212 | ARM Cortex-M4F core, 512 KB flash, 128 KB RAM, higher DMIPS/MHz; lacks ColdFire-specific BDM and iEvent logic | Requires toolchain migration and peripheral driver rewrite; better suited for floating-point intensive tasks like predictive maintenance analytics | Choose for new designs prioritizing ARM ecosystem, USB OTG, or Ethernet MAC; not drop-in compatible with MCF51AG96CLK |
Compared with MCF51AG128, the MCF51AG96CLK offers identical peripheral functionality and package compatibility at reduced flash capacity-ideal for cost-sensitive industrial nodes where firmware footprint is constrained. Against Kinetis K22F51212, it trades raw compute for deterministic ColdFire real-time behavior, smaller memory footprint, and legacy toolchain continuity.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MCF51AG96CLK?
The MCF51AG96CLK operates at up to 50.33 MHz across its full 2.7–5.5 V supply range and –40°C to +105°C ambient temperature. This frequency is achievable using either the internal FLL (driven by XTAL/EXTAL or internal reference) or direct crystal oscillator input. Performance is validated per the MCF51AG128 datasheet Rev. 5, which explicitly covers MCF51AG96 derivatives.
Does the MCF51AG96CLK support the same pinout as the MCF51AG128 in 64-pin packages?
Yes-the MCF51AG96CLK shares identical pin assignments with the MCF51AG128 in both 64-pin LQFP and 64-pin QFP packages, as confirmed in Table 3 ("Pin Availability by Package Pin-Count") of the MCF51AG128 datasheet. All 64-pin signals-including RGPIO, FTM, ADC, and communication interfaces-are functionally identical between the two parts.
How many analog-to-digital converter channels does the MCF51AG96CLK support?
The MCF51AG96CLK supports up to 24 analog input channels in the 64-pin package, matching the MCF51AG128 specification. Channel count scales down to 19 in 48-pin variants and remains fully compatible with the 12-bit ADC module's features: programmable resolution (8/10/12-bit), right-justified output, and hardware-triggered conversions via RTC, PDB, or iEvent.
What debug interface does the MCF51AG96CLK provide?
The MCF51AG96CLK includes a single-wire Background Debug Mode (BDM) interface via the BKGD/MS pin, supporting real-time debugging, six hardware breakpoints (4 PC, 1 address pair, 1 data), on-chip trace buffer, and debug visibility bus (VBUS) for program trace. This is consistent across all MCF51AG128-series derivatives, including MCF51AG96CLK.
Is the MCF51AG96CLK qualified for industrial temperature range operation?
Yes-the MCF51AG96CLK is rated for operation from –40°C to +105°C ambient temperature, as specified in the "Thermal Characteristics" section (Table 6) and "Electrical Characteristics" (Section 2) of the MCF51AG128 datasheet Rev. 5, which explicitly covers the MCF51AG96 derivative. This includes full functionality of ADC, flash programming, and low-voltage detection across the range.
