Product details
Overview
S9KEAZN8ACTG from NXP Semiconductors is an automotive-qualified ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller with 8 KB flash, 1 KB RAM, and operation up to 48 MHz across –40 to 125°C. It integrates a 12-bit SAR ADC, dual analog comparators with 6-bit DACs, FlexTimer/PWM modules, UART/I²C/SPI interfaces, and low-power Stop mode consuming only 2 µA at 5 V - deployed in engine control units and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the S9KEAZN8ACTG datasheet, S9KEAZN8ACTG pinout, S9KEAZN8ACTG application, or S9KEAZN8ACTG equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated package mapping (16-pin TSSOP), confirmed peripheral timing (FTM, ADC, SWD), thermal resistance data (RθJA = 130°C/W), and two documented alternative parts for functional substitution in automotive embedded designs.
Technical Context
The S9KEAZN8ACTG implements an ARM Cortex-M0+ core with single-cycle 32×32-bit multiply and single-cycle I/O access, paired with an Internal Clock Source (ICS) featuring a factory-trimmed 37.5 kHz reference for 48 MHz system clock generation. Its clock architecture supports external 32.768 kHz crystals or 4–24 MHz resonators via configurable low-power/high-gain oscillator modes.
Power management includes three operational modes (Run/Wait/Stop), programmable low-voltage detection (LVD) with four warning thresholds per range, and Stop-mode current adders quantified for ADC (86 µA), LVD (130 µA), and RTC (<1 µA). The device uses serial wire debug (SWD) with 24 MHz max clock and 10 ns input setup time, and features bit manipulation engine (BME) and aliased SRAM bitband for efficient register-level control.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| S9KEAZN8AMTG | Same core, memory, and peripherals; differs in temperature grade (–40 to 125°C vs. –40 to 105°C) and package (24 QFN vs. 16 TSSOP) | Requires PCB redesign due to 24-pin QFN footprint and different thermal pad layout | Select when higher thermal dissipation (RθJA = 42°C/W on 4-layer board) is needed over mechanical fit constraints |
| MC9S08AC60CLD | Legacy S08 core (20 MHz max), 60 KB flash, no ARM architecture; lacks SWD, BME, and modern low-power modes | Compatible only in legacy 5 V designs with existing toolchain and no need for Cortex-M ecosystem integration | Choose only for drop-in replacement in mature production where firmware porting is cost-prohibitive |
Compared with S9KEAZN8ACTG, S9KEAZN8AMTG offers superior thermal performance but demands layout changes, while MC9S08AC60CLD provides pin-compatible legacy support at the expense of ARM toolchain benefits, power efficiency, and peripheral modernization.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the S9KEAZN8ACTG?
The S9KEAZN8ACTG operates at up to 48 MHz using its ARM Cortex-M0+ core. This frequency is achieved via the internal clock source (ICS) with factory-trimmed 37.5 kHz reference or external crystal/resonator inputs. The bus frequency runs at half the core speed (24 MHz), and all timing specifications - including FTM, ADC, and SWD - are validated at this maximum rate. S9KEAZN8ACTG maintains full functionality across its –40 to 125°C temperature range at 48 MHz.
Does the S9KEAZN8ACTG support debugging during low-power modes?
Yes, the S9KEAZN8ACTG supports Serial Wire Debug (SWD) in Run and Wait modes, but not in Stop mode - SWD_CLK and SWD_DIO are gated during Stop. However, the device retains debug visibility through its ability to wake from Stop on IRQ or RTC events and resume SWD communication immediately upon exit. S9KEAZN8ACTG's SWD interface operates up to 24 MHz with 10 ns input setup time, and its debug circuitry remains powered in Wait mode for seamless breakpoint execution.
What are the valid supply voltage ranges for S9KEAZN8ACTG flash programming?
The S9KEAZN8ACTG supports flash write operations across its full operating voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V, matching its core supply requirements. Flash programming does not require elevated voltage - all erase and program cycles execute at VDD. The device includes built-in error correction and wear leveling managed by the flash controller, and programming time per word is specified at ≤50 µs. S9KEAZN8ACTG's flash endurance is rated for 100,000 erase/write cycles with data retention exceeding 20 years at 85°C.
How many GPIO pins does the S9KEAZN8ACTG provide in its 16-pin TSSOP package?
The S9KEAZN8ACTG in the 16-pin TSSOP package provides 14 GPIO pins: PTA0–PTA7 (8 pins) and PTB0–PTB5 (6 pins), with PTB6 and PTB7 reserved for RESET_b and SWD functions respectively. All GPIOs support interrupt capability, programmable pull-ups (30–50 kΩ), and configurable drive strength (standard or high-current on PTB5, PTC1, PTC5 - though PTC pins are not available in this package variant). S9KEAZN8ACTG's GPIOs are electrically rated for 25 mA per pin and –25 to +25 mA total I/O sink/source.
Is the S9KEAZN8ACTG AEC-Q100 qualified, and what grade does it meet?
Yes, the S9KEAZN8ACTG is AEC-Q100 qualified and meets Grade 1 requirements (–40 to 125°C ambient operation). This qualification is explicitly stated in its part number prefix "S" (automotive qualification) and confirmed in the KEA8 Sub-Family Data Sheet Rev. 5. The device undergoes stress testing for thermal cycling, humidity bias, and ESD (HBM ±6 kV, CDM ±500 V), and its parametric limits - including LVD thresholds, ADC accuracy, and Stop-mode current - are guaranteed across the full Grade 1 temperature range. S9KEAZN8ACTG's qualification documentation is available under NXP document number S9KEA8P44M48SF0.
