KMC68EN360AI33L

The KMC68EN360AI33L is a CPU32+ microprocessor from NXP Semiconductors’ MC68 series. It integrates a single 32-bit CPU32+ core running at 33 MHz and system-level peripherals intended for embedded communications and control applications.

Designed with integrated communications subsystems (including a Communications Processor Module and System Integration Module referenced in product documentation), this device targets embedded systems that require on-chip serial communications, DRAM control, and a compact surface-mount 240-FQFP footprint.

Key Features

• CPU Core: Single CPU32+ 32-bit core running at 33 MHz for deterministic embedded processing.
• Communications Subsystem: Communications Processor Module (CPM) and serial channel controllers (SCC) support embedded protocol handling and serial interfacing as described in the device documentation.
• Memory Support: On-chip support for DRAM controllers to interface with external memory types.
• Ethernet: Integrated 10 Mbps Ethernet interface (1) for network connectivity in legacy or low-speed network designs.
• Voltage and I/O: 5 V I/O operating level suitable for legacy embedded systems.
• Package and Mounting: 240-FQFP (32 × 32 mm) surface-mount package for high-density PCB designs.
• Test and Debug: Includes IEEE 1149.1 Test Access Port as described in the user documentation for boundary-scan and test access.
• Operating Range: Rated for operation from 0 °C to 70 °C.
• RoHS Compliant: Conforms to RoHS environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Communications Modules: Use the on-chip CPM and SCC interfaces for protocol handling and serial connectivity in communications controllers.
• Network Interface Devices: Leverage the integrated 10 Mbps Ethernet interface for networked embedded equipment and legacy networking applications.
• Industrial Control Systems: Employ the 32-bit CPU32+ core and DRAM controller support for control logic and memory-backed application code in industrial embedded designs.
• Protocol Converters and Gateways: Combine serial channel controllers and the communications processor module to implement serial-to-network gateway functions.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Communications Engine: The inclusion of a Communications Processor Module and serial channel controllers reduces external logic and simplifies protocol offload.
• Single 32-bit CPU32+ Core: Provides a straightforward, deterministic processing environment for embedded control and communications tasks at 33 MHz.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: The 240-FQFP (32 × 32 mm) package enables dense PCB layouts while preserving a full peripheral set.
• Legacy-Friendly I/O Levels: 5 V I/O support aligns with existing embedded systems and legacy interfaces.
• Standard Test Access: IEEE 1149.1 Test Access Port support facilitates boundary-scan testing and manufacturing diagnostics.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmental regulatory requirements for product assemblies.
