Product details
Overview
S9S08RN60W1VLFR from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is an automotive-grade 8-bit S08 microcontroller featuring a 20 MHz bus, 60 KB flash, 4 KB RAM, and 256-byte EEPROM with ECC-operating across -40 °C to 125 °C for engine control, body electronics, and sensor interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the S9S08RN60W1VLFR datasheet, S9S08RN60W1VLFR pinout, S9S08RN60W1VLFR application, or S9S08RN60W1VLFR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated package mapping, confirmed peripheral timing, real-world use-value metrics, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for functional migration paths.
Technical Context
The S9S08RN60W1VLFR implements an S08 CPU core with four-level nested interrupt support and up to 40 interrupt/reset sources. Its clock system integrates a loop-controlled Pierce oscillator (XOSC) and an internal clock source (ICS) with FLL, delivering ±2% DCO frequency deviation over -40 °C to 125 °C at up to 20 MHz.
System protection includes independent watchdog clock, low-voltage detection with selectable trip points (e.g., VLVDH = 4.3 V), illegal opcode/address reset, and flash/RAM access protection. Debug is enabled via single-wire background debug interface with three breakpoints and on-chip ICE module supporting nine trigger modes.
