MC68360CVR25L

The MC68360CVR25L is a CPU32+ microprocessor IC from NXP Semiconductors featuring a single 32-bit core running at 25 MHz. Engineered for embedded and communications-focused applications, it combines on-chip processing with extensive serial and peripheral support to simplify controller designs for industrial environments.

Key Features

• Core and Performance CPU32+ 32-bit core operating at 25 MHz (approximately 4.5 MIPS at 25 MHz as specified for the series), providing a single-core processing element for embedded control tasks.
• Memory and Bus Up to 32-bit data bus with dynamic bus sizing for 8- and 16-bit modes and up to 32 address lines; supports external memory types including SRAM, EPROM, and Flash per series documentation. On-chip DRAM controller is listed in the product specifications.
• Communications Processor Module (CPM) Dedicated CPM co-processor for offloading serial protocol processing and communications tasks; supports buffer descriptors and continuous transmit/receive modes as described for the series.
• Serial Channels and Interfaces Multiple serial channels in the family: four SCCs, two SMCs and one SPI channel (seven serial channels total in the series). Product specifications also list additional SCC interfaces.
• Ethernet and HDLC Support 10 Mbps Ethernet support on one channel is listed in the product data, with HDLC/SDLC capability on serial channels indicated in the series documentation.
• Timers and DMA Four general-purpose timers (configurable as four 16-bit or two 32-bit timers) and two independent DMA controllers with buffer chaining and packing support are part of the series feature set.
• System Integration and Debug System Integration Module (SIM60) features such as bus and fault monitoring, software watchdog, clock synthesizer, breakpoint logic and IEEE 1149.1 test access are described in the series documentation.
• Industrial Temperature Range Rated for operation from −40 °C to 85 °C, suitable for industrial applications.
• Package and Mounting Supplied in a 357-pin PBGA (25 × 25 mm) surface-mount package for compact board-level integration.
• Power and Compliance 5 V I/O signaling and RoHS compliance are specified for this device.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Communications Controllers Use the MC68360CVR25L where integrated serial channels and a CPM offload controller simplify protocol handling and reduce external logic.
• Industrial Control Systems The industrial temperature rating and DRAM controller support make it suitable for rugged controller designs requiring reliable operation over −40 °C to 85 °C.
• LAN and Serial Networking Equipment On-chip serial controllers and listed 10 Mbps Ethernet capability enable implementation of HDLC, SDLC and other serial networking protocols in compact designs.
• Embedded Peripheral Controllers The combination of timers, DMA engines and flexible memory/bus interfacing supports applications that need deterministic I/O handling and efficient data movement.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated communications feature set: Built-in CPM and multiple serial channels reduce external components and simplify protocol implementation.
• Flexible memory and bus support: 32-bit data bus with dynamic sizing and support for multiple external memory types enables adaptable memory architectures.
• Industrial-ready temperature range: −40 °C to 85 °C rating supports deployment in industrial environments without additional derating.
• Compact surface-mount BGA package: 357-pin PBGA (25 × 25 mm) offers high pin density for complex designs while minimizing PCB footprint.
• RoHS compliant: Conforms to RoHS directives for environmentally conscious designs.
