NXP Semiconductors S9S08DZ60F2MLH

Overview

S9S08DZ60F2MLH from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is an 8-bit HCS08 microcontroller with 60 KB on-chip Flash, 4 KB RAM, and 2 KB EEPROM, operating at up to 40 MHz CPU / 20 MHz bus frequency. It integrates CAN 2.0A/B, dual SCI with LIN 2.0 support, 12-bit ADC (24-channel, 2.5 µs conversion), two analog comparators, RTC, and six-channel TPM - deployed in automotive body control modules and industrial sensor nodes requiring deterministic real-time response.

For engineers reviewing the S9S08DZ60F2MLH datasheet, S9S08DZ60F2MLH pinout, S9S08DZ60F2MLH application, or S9S08DZ60F2MLH equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed peripheral capabilities, and manufacturer-validated alternative options for automotive-grade embedded control design.

Technical Context

The S9S08DZ60F2MLH implements the HCS08 CPU core with BGND instruction support and handles up to 32 interrupt/reset sources. Its Multi-Purpose Clock Generator (MCG) supports FLL and PLL modes with ±1.5% internal reference accuracy and factory-trimmed IRC, enabling stable clocking across temperature and voltage.

On-chip system protection includes COP watchdog with dual-clock source selection (1 kHz backup or bus clock), low-voltage detect with configurable trip points, illegal opcode/address detection, and Flash block protection. Peripheral integration centers on MSCAN with five receive buffers and flexible identifier filtering (2×32-bit, 4×16-bit, or 8×8-bit), plus dual SCI supporting SAE J2602 and LIN 2.0 protocol framing.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the S9S08DZ60F2MLH CPU core?

The S9S08DZ60F2MLH CPU core operates at up to 40 MHz, with a corresponding bus frequency of 20 MHz. This timing is achieved using the on-chip Multi-Purpose Clock Generator (MCG) in PLL or FLL mode, and is fully supported across the device's rated temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) and supply voltage (2.7 V to 5.5 V). The S9S08DZ60F2MLH datasheet specifies these values in Section 8.4.1 and Appendix A.

Does the S9S08DZ60F2MLH include a hardware CAN controller?

Yes, the S9S08DZ60F2MLH integrates a Freescale Controller Area Network (MSCAN) module compliant with ISO 11898-1 (CAN 2.0A/B). It supports standard and extended data frames, remote frames, five receive buffers with FIFO storage, and programmable identifier acceptance filters (configurable as 2×32-bit, 4×16-bit, or 8×8-bit). This capability is documented in Chapter 12 of the S9S08DZ60F2MLH datasheet.

What is the Flash memory endurance and data retention specification for the S9S08DZ60F2MLH?

The S9S08DZ60F2MLH Flash memory supports 10,000 program/erase cycles minimum and guarantees data retention for 10 years at +85°C or 20 years at +25°C. These specifications are defined in Appendix A of the official S9S08DZ60F2MLH datasheet (Rev. 4, June 2008) under "DC Electrical Characteristics" and "Flash Memory Endurance and Retention."

Can the S9S08DZ60F2MLH operate in low-power stop modes with RTC wake-up capability?

Yes, the S9S08DZ60F2MLH supports Stop2 and Stop3 modes with wake-up via the Real-Time Counter (RTC) using its internal 1 kHz low-power oscillator - eliminating the need for external crystals. Wake-up latency is ≤4 µs from Stop3, and the RTC continues counting during stop. This functionality is detailed in Sections 3.6 and 15 of the S9S08DZ60F2MLH datasheet.

Is the S9S08DZ60F2MLH pin-compatible with other members of the MC9S08DZ60 series?

Yes, the S9S08DZ60F2MLH in the 64-pin LQFP package is pin-compatible with other MC9S08DZ60-series devices sharing the same package option (e.g., S9S08DZ48F2MLH, S9S08DZ32F2MLH), as confirmed in Freescale's MC9S08DZ60 Series Data Sheet Rev. 4, Section 2.1 ("Device Pin Assignment") and Appendix C ("Ordering Information and Mechanical Drawings").
