NXP Semiconductors S9S08DZ60F2CLC

Overview

S9S08DZ60F2CLC from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is an 8-bit HCS08 microcontroller with 60 KB on-chip Flash, 4 KB RAM, and 2 KB in-circuit programmable EEPROM. It integrates CAN 2.0A/B, dual SCI with LIN 2.0/SAE J2602 support, 24-channel 12-bit ADC, two analog comparators, and RTC - designed for automotive body electronics and industrial control nodes requiring robust communication and mixed-signal processing.

For engineers reviewing the S9S08DZ60F2CLC datasheet, S9S08DZ60F2CLC pinout, S9S08DZ60F2CLC application, or S9S08DZ60F2CLC equivalent, key selection criteria include its 64-pin LQFP package, 20 MHz bus frequency, CAN + LIN dual-protocol capability, integrated temperature sensor, and stop-mode real-time interrupt wake-up without external crystal.

Technical Context

The S9S08DZ60F2CLC implements the HCS08 CPU core with 40-MHz instruction execution (20-MHz bus), HC08 instruction set plus BGND, and support for up to 32 interrupt/reset sources. Its Multi-Purpose Clock Generator (MCG) provides FLL and PLL modes with factory-trimmed internal reference clock and ±1.5% FLL accuracy using temperature compensation.

System protection includes COP watchdog with dual-clock source (1 kHz internal or bus clock), low-voltage detect with configurable trip points, illegal opcode/address detection, and Flash block protection. Development is enabled via single-wire background debug interface and on-chip ICE with real-time bus capture.

FAQ

What is the maximum bus frequency supported by the S9S08DZ60F2CLC?

The S9S08DZ60F2CLC supports a maximum bus frequency of 20 MHz, derived from its 40-MHz HCS08 CPU core via a 2:1 divider. This frequency is fully operational across the rated voltage (4.5–5.5 V) and temperature (–40°C to +125°C) ranges, and is used for peripheral timing including CAN bit rate calculation and ADC sampling clocks.

Does the S9S08DZ60F2CLC include a hardware CAN controller?

Yes, the S9S08DZ60F2CLC integrates the MSCAN module, a full-featured CAN 2.0A/B controller compliant with ISO 11898-1. It supports standard and extended identifiers, five receive buffers with FIFO operation, and programmable acceptance filters - all implemented in hardware without CPU overhead.

Can the S9S08DZ60F2CLC operate in ultra-low-power modes with CAN listening enabled?

Yes, the S9S08DZ60F2CLC supports CAN wake-up from Stop2 mode via the MSCAN module's automatic bus activity detection. In Stop2, the CAN module remains powered and can detect dominant bits on the bus, triggering a wake-up interrupt while consuming less than 30 μA total system current.

What is the purpose of the BKGD/MS pin on the S9S08DZ60F2CLC?

The BKGD/MS pin serves dual functions: it acts as the single-wire background debug interface for programming and real-time debugging, and as the mode-select input during reset to enter active background mode. No external pull-up is required - an internal weak pull-up ensures default operation unless actively driven low.

Is the internal temperature sensor on the S9S08DZ60F2CLC factory-calibrated?

Yes, the S9S08DZ60F2CLC includes a factory-calibrated on-die temperature sensor accessible via ADC channel AN23. Calibration data is stored in flash memory and used by the ADC to deliver ±3°C accuracy across the –40°C to +125°C operating range without external compensation.
