MC68340AG16E

The MC68340AG16E is a CPU32-based 32-bit microprocessor in the MC68340 series, optimized for embedded system integration. It operates at 16 MHz with 5 V I/O and includes on-chip system integration features such as DMA, serial interfaces and memory controller support to address common embedded control and data-movement needs.

Packaged in a 144-LQFP (20×20 mm) surface-mount case and rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation, this device targets embedded designs that require a compact 32-bit processing core with integrated peripheral and system support.

Key Features

• CPU32 32-bit Core Single 32-bit CPU32 core providing a standard 32-bit instruction set and architecture for embedded processing tasks.
• 16 MHz Operating Frequency Device clocked at 16 MHz to support timing and control workloads common in embedded applications.
• Integrated DMA Controller On-chip DMA functionality (Integrated Processor with DMA) reduces CPU overhead for block data transfers and peripheral-to-memory operations.
• Memory Interface – DRAM Support Includes DRAM controller capability to interface with external dynamic RAM for expanded system memory.
• Serial and Communication Interfaces Includes USART/serial module functionality to support standard serial communications and peripheral interfacing.
• System Integration and Test Access System Integration Module features and IEEE 1149.1 test access are documented for board-level integration and in-system testability.
• 5 V I/O Voltage 5 V I/O compatibility for interfacing with legacy logic and standard embedded peripherals.
• 144-LQFP Package (20×20 mm) Compact surface-mount 144-lead LQFP package for high pin-count integration in space-constrained boards.
• Commercial Temperature Range Rated for operation from 0 °C to 70 °C to meet typical commercial embedded environment requirements.
• RoHS Compliant Conforms to RoHS requirements for lead-free assembly and environmental compliance.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control Systems Use as a 32-bit control processor where integrated DMA, timers and serial interfaces simplify board-level design.
• Communications and Serial I/O USART and serial module capability support device-to-device and peripheral communications in embedded products.
• Memory-Expanded Systems DRAM controller support enables designs that require external dynamic memory for buffering or larger code/data storage.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated DMA Reduces CPU Load: On-chip DMA offloads bulk data movement from the CPU, simplifying firmware and improving system efficiency.
• Compact High-Pin-Count Package: 144-LQFP (20×20 mm) provides extensive I/O and connectivity in a surface-mount form factor suited to dense board layouts.
• Standard 5 V I/O Compatibility: Enables straightforward interfacing with standard embedded peripherals and legacy logic levels.
• Documented System Modules: Detailed user manual and module descriptions (timers, serial, DMA, system integration) support predictable integration and development.
• RoHS Compliance: Supports lead-free assembly and regulatory requirements for many commercial products.
