MC68040RC33A

The MC68040RC33A is a single-core 32-bit microprocessor from the MC68040 family, operating at 33 MHz. Designed for embedded applications, it delivers processor capability based on the 68040 core architecture in a 179‑PGA through‑hole package.

With 5 V I/O and a commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C, the MC68040RC33A is suited for embedded system designs that require a proven M68040-series processor and straightforward board-level integration.

Key Features

• Core and Architecture  68040 core processor providing a third‑generation 32‑bit microprocessor architecture as part of the MC68040 series.
• Performance  33 MHz operating frequency for deterministic 32‑bit processing in embedded applications.
• Power  5 V I/O voltage for compatibility with legacy 5 V system designs.
• Package & Mounting  179‑PGA (47.24 × 47.24 mm) package in a through‑hole mounting form factor, easing prototyping and board assembly choices.
• Bus & Data Width  Single core, 32‑bit data bus width suitable for standard M680x0 system architectures.
• Interfaces  Includes SCI as an additional interface for serial communication integration.
• Operating Temperature  Commercial range 0 °C to 70 °C for standard embedded environments.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant, meeting common environmental directives for lead‑free assemblies.

Typical Applications

• Embedded control systems  Use the MC68040RC33A where 32‑bit processing and deterministic operation at 33 MHz are required for control and coordination tasks.
• Board-level replacements and maintenance  Suitable for systems designed around the MC68040 series that require direct component interchange or lifecycle support.
• Industrial and commercial equipment  Integrate the processor in equipment with commercial temperature requirements and 5 V I/O domains.

Unique Advantages

• Proven M68040 architecture: Leverages the documented MC68040 family design and user manual for predictable behavior and established programming guidance.
• Through‑hole 179‑PGA packaging: Large PGA footprint (47.24 × 47.24 mm) simplifies handling, prototyping, and replacement on legacy boards.
• 5 V I/O compatibility: Matches legacy 5 V system levels, reducing the need for additional level‑shifting in many designs.
• SCI serial interface: Built‑in SCI support facilitates integration of serial communication without adding external interface logic.
• RoHS compliant: Enables use in lead‑free assembly flows and aligns with common environmental requirements.
• Commercial temperature rating: Clear 0 °C to 70 °C operating range for standard embedded deployments.
