It operates at up to 5 MHz SYSCLK with 5 V ±10% supply and supports automotive climate control and industrial motor control applications.
For engineers reviewing the TMDS3740555-09 datasheet, TMDS3740555-09 pinout, TMDS3740555-09 application, or TMDS3740555-09 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 64-pin PLCC package, dual 16-bit timers (T1/T2A), watchdog timer with selectable timeout, programmable I/O port configuration, and Class 2 ESD sensitivity per MIL-STD-883C method 3015.
Technical Context
The TMDS3740555-09 implements a register-to-register CPU architecture enabling single-cycle access to its 256-byte register file. Its peripheral set includes a 16-bit event-capable Timer 1 with PWM output, a 16-bit Timer 2A supporting input capture and compare functions, and a full-duplex SCI1 interface configurable for asynchronous (≤156 kbps) or isosynchronous (≤2.5 Mbps) operation.
It integrates an 8-channel 8-bit successive-approximation ADC with selectable reference source and channel mapping, alongside a synchronous SPI interface operating up to 2.5 Mbps. Memory organization comprises mask-ROM program memory, static RAM, and 256-byte data EEPROM accessible under program control with single 5-V supply programming.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TMS370C756A | Same 64-pin PLCC package; 32K-byte EPROM instead of mask-ROM; includes Timer 2B not present in TMDS3740555-09 | Prototyping and low-volume production where field reprogrammability is required | Select when firmware updates during development or small-batch manufacturing are needed |
| TMS370C742A | 64-pin PLCC; 16K-byte mask-ROM; 4-channel ADC instead of 8-channel; lacks SCI1 isosynchronous mode | Cost-sensitive applications with reduced analog sensing requirements | Select when fewer ADC inputs and no high-speed synchronous serial interface are acceptable |
Compared with TMDS3740555-09, TMS370C756A offers field-programmable EPROM but requires UV erasure and windowed packaging, while TMS370C742A reduces ADC channel count and serial interface capability to lower unit cost-neither is pin-compatible, requiring PCB redesign for substitution.

FAQ
What is the maximum system clock frequency supported by TMDS3740555-09?
TMDS3740555-09 supports a maximum system clock (SYSCLK) frequency of 5 MHz when using the divide-by-1 PLL configuration. With the standard divide-by-4 oscillator option, the input clock range is 0.5 MHz to 5 MHz, yielding a SYSCLK of 2 MHz to 20 MHz - however, the device's rated operational limit remains 5 MHz SYSCLK per its 1997 production specifications. This constraint ensures timing compliance for all internal peripherals including Timer 1 and the ADC.
Does TMDS3740555-09 include on-chip data EEPROM, and what is its capacity?
Yes, TMDS3740555-09 includes 256 bytes of on-chip data EEPROM. This nonvolatile memory is programmable and erasable under software control using a single 5-V supply, enabling storage of calibration coefficients, device-specific configuration parameters, or runtime logging data that must persist through power cycles. It is distinct from program memory and is not used for firmware storage.
Which serial communication interfaces are integrated into TMDS3740555-09?
TMDS3740555-09 integrates two serial interfaces: SCI1 (3-pin) and SPI. SCI1 supports both asynchronous mode (up to 156 kbps) and isosynchronous mode (up to 2.5 Mbps), while SPI provides synchronous full-duplex communication up to 2.5 Mbps. SCI2 is not present in this variant. These interfaces allow flexible connectivity to sensors, displays, modems, and other peripherals without external protocol translators.
What package type and pin count does TMDS3740555-09 use?
TMDS3740555-09 uses a 64-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with J-lead configuration, per JEDEC standard MS-026AC. This surface-mount package provides mechanical robustness and thermal performance suitable for industrial and automotive applications. Pinout details specific to TMDS3740555-09 are not published in the 1997 TMS370 Data Book or confirmed via TI's archived documentation.
Is TMDS3740555-09 suitable for automotive applications, and what temperature grade does it support?
Yes, TMDS3740555-09 is qualified for automotive applications with an operating temperature range of –40°C to 85°C ('A' grade). This rating meets requirements for engine bay–adjacent modules and cabin control units. Its latch-up immunity of 250 mA at 25°C and >2000 V HBM ESD protection further support deployment in electrically noisy vehicle environments per industry reliability expectations.
