Product details
Overview
MCHSC705C8ACPE from Freescale Semiconductor is an 8-bit microcontroller unit (MCU) based on the HC05 core, featuring 8 KB of on-chip ROM, 256 bytes of RAM, and a 16-bit timer module. It operates at up to 4 MHz with single-chip mode and supports asynchronous serial communication (SCI). It is used in legacy automotive body control modules and industrial sensor interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the MCHSC705C8ACPE datasheet, MCHSC705C8ACPE pinout, MCHSC705C8ACPE application, or MCHSC705C8ACPE equivalent, key selection considerations include ROM size, SCI compatibility, oscillator configuration options, and availability of mask-programmed variants for cost-sensitive production.
Technical Context
The MCHSC705C8ACPE implements the Motorola HC05 CPU core with instruction set compatibility to the MC6805 family. It integrates a 16-bit timer with input capture/output compare and free-running counter functionality, plus a synchronous serial peripheral interface (SPI) and asynchronous serial communications interface (SCI).
It supports single-chip operation using an internal oscillator circuit or external crystal/resonator up to 4 MHz. Memory mapping includes 8 KB of mask-ROM programmed at fabrication, 256 bytes of static RAM, and 64 bytes of register space - all accessible via unified address space.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | HC05 8-bit CISC architecture, binary-compatible with MC6805 instruction set |
| ROM Size | 8 KB mask-programmed ROM - fixed firmware image, no field reprogramming |
| RAM Size | 256 bytes on-chip static RAM - usable for stack, variables, and temporary data storage |
| Max Clock Frequency | 4 MHz system clock - determines instruction throughput and peripheral timing margins |
| Timer Module | 16-bit timer with input capture, output compare, and free-running counter - enables precise event timing and PWM generation |
| Serial Interfaces | SCI (asynchronous UART) and SPI (synchronous master/slave) - supports host communication and peripheral daisy-chaining |
| Operating Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% - requires stable regulated supply; not compatible with 3.3 V logic domains |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC-48), JEDEC MS-026AC compliant, with center power/ground pad for thermal and electrical stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC68HC705C8P | Same HC05 core, identical ROM/RAM/timer specs, but in 40-pin DIP package - no PLCC footprint compatibility | Limited to through-hole prototyping or legacy wave-soldered boards; lacks PLCC thermal performance | Select when board redesign for surface-mount is not feasible and thermal load is low |
| MC908GP32CPBE | Enhanced HC08 core, 32 KB FLASH, 1 KB RAM, enhanced SCI/SPI, 8 MHz max clock - not mask-ROM | Supports field firmware updates and larger control algorithms; requires FLASH programming infrastructure | Select when future feature expansion, diagnostics, or reprogrammability are required |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MCHSC705C8ACPE?
The MCHSC705C8ACPE operates at a maximum system clock frequency of 4 MHz. This limit applies whether using an external crystal (1–4 MHz) or TTL-level clock source on the XTAL1 pin. Exceeding this frequency may cause instruction timing violations, timer overflow miscalculation, or SCI baud rate inaccuracy. The MCHSC705C8ACPE does not support internal PLL multiplication or higher-frequency modes.
Is the MCHSC705C8ACPE pin-compatible with other HC05-family MCUs?
The MCHSC705C8ACPE uses a 48-pin PLCC package with a specific pin assignment defined in Freescale's HC05 documentation. While functionally similar to the MC68HC705C8P, it is not pin-compatible due to differing pin counts (40 vs. 48) and incompatible signal mapping. Direct substitution requires PCB layout revision. The MCHSC705C8ACPE pinout is unique to its PLCC variant and must be verified against Freescale document M68HC705C8A/D.
Does the MCHSC705C8ACPE support in-circuit programming or firmware updates?
No, the MCHSC705C8ACPE contains 8 KB of mask-programmed ROM, which is permanently written during wafer fabrication and cannot be altered in-system or in-field. Firmware changes require ordering a new mask version and full production re-spin. For field-upgradable alternatives, consider FLASH-based derivatives like the MC908GP32CPBE - but note that those are not drop-in replacements for the MCHSC705C8ACPE.
What oscillator configurations does the MCHSC705C8ACPE support?
The MCHSC705C8ACPE supports two oscillator modes: (1) external crystal/resonator (1–4 MHz) connected between XTAL1 and XTAL2, and (2) external TTL-level clock applied to XTAL1 with XTAL2 grounded. It does not support internal RC oscillators or ceramic resonators without external load capacitors. Startup time is specified as ≤1024 oscillator cycles after VDD reaches 4.5 V.
What is the temperature rating for the MCHSC705C8ACPE?
The MCHSC705C8ACPE is rated for operation across the industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. This specification is validated per Freescale's qualification testing and applies to the PLCC-48 package variant. Operation outside this range may result in undefined behavior, increased leakage current, or permanent parametric shift. Derating guidelines for extended life at high ambient temperatures are provided in Freescale application note AN1223.
