Product details
Overview
S9S08RN48W1MLC from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is an 8-bit S08 core microcontroller designed for automotive and industrial embedded control. It integrates 48 KB flash, 4 KB RAM, 256-byte EEPROM with ECC, operates at up to 20 MHz bus frequency across –40 °C to 125 °C, and supports three low-power stop/wait modes. It is used in body control modules requiring robust timing, analog sensing, and LIN/UART communication.
For engineers reviewing the S9S08RN48W1MLC datasheet, S9S08RN48W1MLC pinout, S9S08RN48W1MLC application, or S9S08RN48W1MLC equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated package mapping (32-pin LQFP), confirmed peripheral capabilities (12-bit ADC, FTM, TSI, SCI/LIN), and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for functional migration paths.
Technical Context
The S9S08RN48W1MLC 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 an internal clock source (ICS) featuring a frequency-locked loop (FLL) with factory-trimmed internal reference - achieving ±2.0% DCO output deviation over –40 °C to 125 °C.
System-level protection includes independent watchdog timer, configurable low-voltage detect (LVD) with four warning thresholds per range, illegal opcode/address detection, and flash/RAM access protection. Debug is enabled via single-wire background debug interface (BDM) with three breakpoints and on-chip ICE module supporting nine trigger modes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and voltage range for the S9S08RN48W1MLC?
The S9S08RN48W1MLC supports a maximum bus frequency of 20 MHz across its full operating voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V and temperature range of –40 °C to 125 °C. This specification is guaranteed per the official S9S08RN60 Series Data Sheet Rev. 1 (01/2014), which explicitly covers S9S08RN48 devices. The internal clock source (ICS) with FLL achieves this frequency using either external crystal or internal trimmed reference.
Does the S9S08RN48W1MLC support LIN communication?
Yes, the S9S08RN48W1MLC supports LIN communication through its three SCI (serial communication interface) modules, each capable of non-return-to-zero (NRZ) UART operation with optional 13-bit break field generation - a mandatory requirement for LIN 2.x physical layer compliance. The S9S08RN48W1MLC datasheet confirms LIN extension support in the SCI section, and its –40 °C to 125 °C rating meets automotive LIN node requirements.
What is the flash memory endurance and security capability of the S9S08RN48W1MLC?
The S9S08RN48W1MLC provides 48 KB of flash memory rated for 100,000 program/erase cycles over its lifetime. Flash security is implemented via a dedicated security byte that, when programmed, disables external read/write access to flash and EEPROM contents - preventing unauthorized firmware extraction or modification. This mechanism is documented in the "Flash and RAM access protection" feature list of the S9S08RN60 Series Data Sheet.
Can the S9S08RN48W1MLC operate in low-power stop mode while retaining ADC functionality?
Yes, the S9S08RN48W1MLC supports ADC operation in stop3 mode. When configured with ADLPC = 1, ADLSMP = 1, ADCO = 1, MODE = 10B, and ADICLK = 11B, the ADC remains active during stop3 and draws only 44 µA additional current at 5 V. This capability enables wake-on-analog-threshold functionality for battery-powered sensor applications without exiting low-power state.
What package type and pin count does the S9S08RN48W1MLC use?
The S9S08RN48W1MLC uses a 32-pin LQFP package (designated by the "LC" suffix in the part number), with 7 mm × 7 mm body size and 0.8 mm lead pitch. This matches the "32-pin LQFP" option listed in the S9S08RN60 Series Data Sheet and is thermally characterized at θJA = 86 °C/W on single-layer boards. Pin assignments are fully documented in Section 8 ("Pinout") of the datasheet.
