MC68360RC25L

The MC68360RC25L is a CPU32+ microprocessor IC in the MC68360 series featuring a single 32-bit core running at 25 MHz. It integrates a Communications Processor Module (CPM) and system integration features from the QUICC family to support embedded communications and control applications.

Designed for embedded systems, the device combines on-chip communications coprocessing, DRAM controller support and standard serial interfaces to simplify designs that require integrated communications functionality and through-hole PGA packaging.

Key Features

• Core: CPU32+ single 32-bit core running at 25 MHz, providing the device's main processing capability.
• Communications Coprocessor: On-chip Communications Processor Module (CPM) for handling communications and protocol tasks; supports communications and DSP-related functions as documented for the series.
• Memory & Bus: Includes DRAM controller functionality and a system integration module (SIM60) as part of the MC68360 architecture.
• Interfaces: Built-in SCC (Serial Communications Controller) and one 10 Mbps Ethernet interface; additional serial/peripheral configurations supported by the QUICC architecture.
• Power: 5 V I/O voltage for compatibility with legacy embedded I/O systems.
• Package & Mounting: 241-PGA (241-BEPGA) package, supplier package size 47.24 × 47.24 mm; through-hole mounting.
• Operating Range: Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operating temperature.
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Communications: Devices that require integrated serial and Ethernet communications using the on-chip CPM and SCC resources.
• Networking Modules: Network or gateway modules leveraging the 10 Mbps Ethernet interface and communications coprocessing.
• Industrial Control Systems: Controllers and embedded control equipment that benefit from a single-chip CPU32+ core with DRAM controller support.
• Legacy / Through-Hole Designs: Systems that require a large PGA through-hole package for board-level mounting or retrofit applications.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Communications Processing: The on-chip CPM provides dedicated handling for communications tasks, aligning with the MC68360 QUICC architecture for serial and protocol workloads.
• Single-Chip System Integration: CPU32+ core combined with DRAM controller and SIM60-based integration reduces the need for external components associated with communications-centric embedded designs.
• Standard I/O Voltage: 5 V I/O simplifies integration into existing embedded platforms that use legacy TTL/CMOS voltage domains.
• Robust Packaging for Board-Level Use: 241-PGA through-hole package (47.24 × 47.24 mm) provides a durable mounting option for applications that require larger package footprints.
• Regulatory Readiness: RoHS compliance supports use in environments requiring lead-free components.
