Product details
Overview
S9S08RN48W1CLF from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is an 8-bit S08 MCU with 48 KB flash, 4 KB RAM, and 256-byte EEPROM with ECC, operating at up to 20 MHz bus frequency across –40 °C to 125 °C. It integrates ADC (12-bit, 16-channel), three FTM modules, three SCI/UARTs, I²C, SPI, TSI, ACMP, RTC, and watchdog-targeting automotive body control modules requiring robust embedded timing and mixed-signal I/O.
For engineers reviewing the S9S08RN48W1CLF datasheet, S9S08RN48W1CLF pinout, S9S08RN48W1CLF application, or S9S08RN48W1CLF equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated package mapping (48-pin LQFP), confirmed peripheral timing behavior, thermal resistance (θJA = 81 °C/W on single-layer board), and real-world substitution guidance for industrial and automotive MCU selection.
Technical Context
The S9S08RN48W1CLF implements a Harvard-architecture S08 CPU with four-level nested interrupt support and up to 40 interrupt/reset sources. Its clock system combines an external crystal oscillator (XOSC) and internal clock source (ICS) with FLL-based frequency multiplication, delivering ±2.0% DCO output deviation over –40 °C to 125 °C at 20 MHz.
Peripheral integration includes three FlexTimer Modules (FTM)-one 6-channel and two 2-channel-with input capture, PWM, and edge/center-aligned modes; a 12-bit ADC with 2.5 µs conversion time, hardware trigger, and stop-mode operation; and TSI supporting up to 16 electrodes with wake-from-Stop3 capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum bus frequency and operating voltage range for the S9S08RN48W1CLF?
The S9S08RN48W1CLF supports a maximum bus frequency of 20 MHz across its full operating voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V, with guaranteed performance from –40 °C to 125 °C ambient temperature. This specification is validated per the official S9S08RN60 Series Data Sheet Rev. 1 (01/2014), which explicitly covers S9S08RN48 devices. The S9S08RN48W1CLF maintains consistent timing and electrical behavior with other members of the RN family under these conditions.
Does the S9S08RN48W1CLF support in-circuit debugging, and what interface is used?
Yes, the S9S08RN48W1CLF supports single-wire background debug (BDM) via the BKGD pin, enabling full in-circuit emulation with three hardware breakpoints and on-chip ICE functionality. The debug module includes two comparators and nine trigger modes, allowing precise program flow analysis during development. This capability is documented in the S9S08RN60 Series Data Sheet and applies identically to the S9S08RN48W1CLF as a member of the same product family.
What are the key low-power features of the S9S08RN48W1CLF?
The S9S08RN48W1CLF offers multiple low-power modes including Wait and Stop3, with Stop3 drawing just 3.8 µA typical at 5 V. In Stop3, only the 1 kHz LPO clock remains active-yet peripherals like TSI, ACMP, and SCI can generate wake events. Peripheral clocks are individually disableable via the PCE register, and the ADC/TSI/LVD modules each add defined current increments (44 µA, 111 µA, 130 µA respectively) when enabled in Stop3. These values are measured and specified in Table 4 of the S9S08RN60 Series Data Sheet.
How does the S9S08RN48W1CLF handle analog-to-digital conversion, and what is its resolution and speed?
The S9S08RN48W1CLF integrates a 12-bit successive-approximation ADC with 16 input channels, achieving a 2.5 µs conversion time. It supports hardware triggering, automatic compare functions, data buffering with watermark interrupts, and operation in Stop3 mode using the internal bandgap reference. These capabilities are fully specified in Section 6.3.1 of the S9S08RN60 Series Data Sheet, which applies to all RN family variants including the S9S08RN48W1CLF.
Is the S9S08RN48W1CLF pin-compatible with other devices in the S08RN family?
Yes-the S9S08RN48W1CLF uses the 48-pin LQFP package (LF suffix) and shares identical pin assignments with the S9S08RN32W1CLF and S9S08RN60W1CLF. All three devices have matching signal multiplexing, I/O drive strength, and peripheral mapping per pin, as confirmed in Section 8.2 ("Device pin assignment") of the S9S08RN60 Series Data Sheet. This enables direct hardware reuse across memory variants without PCB redesign.
