MC68302CAG16VCR2

The MC68302CAG16VCR2 is a single-core microprocessor based on the M68000 core architecture, offering 8/16-bit bus operation at a 16 MHz clock frequency. Designed for embedded applications, this industrial-grade device integrates communications co-processor capabilities and DRAM controller support to address control and communications tasks in temperature-demanding environments.

Key electrical and mechanical parameters include 3.3 V I/O operation, a 144-LQFP (20×20 mm) surface-mount package, RoHS compliance, and an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C.

Key Features

• Core M68000 core architecture with a single processing core supporting 8/16-bit bus widths running at 16 MHz for deterministic embedded processing.
• Co-Processor Integrated communications and RISC CPM co-processor functionality to offload communications-related tasks and support protocol handling.
• Memory Controllers On-chip DRAM controller support for external memory interfacing and system memory management.
• I/O Voltage 3.3 V I/O compatibility for modern embedded system logic domains.
• Package & Mounting 144-LQFP (20×20 mm) surface-mount package suitable for compact PCB designs and automated assembly.
• Operating Range & Qualification Industrial-grade qualification with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C for deployment in harsh environments.
• Interfaces Includes additional interface support labeled GCI for system integration.
• Compliance RoHS-compliant construction to meet environmental regulatory requirements.
• Graphics No graphics acceleration—focused on control and communications processing rather than graphics tasks.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control Systems Use in embedded controllers where an M68000 core with DRAM controller support and 3.3 V I/O is required for deterministic control tasks.
• Industrial Automation Suitable for industrial applications that require extended temperature operation (−40 °C to 85 °C) and industrial qualification.
• Communications Modules Leverages the integrated communications/RISC CPM co-processor to handle protocol and data path tasks in communication-focused designs.
