MC68EC000EI12

The MC68EC000EI12 is a member of the MC68EC000 series microprocessor family from NXP Semiconductors. It implements an EC000 core as a single 32‑bit processor running at 12 MHz and is supplied in a 68‑pin PLCC surface‑mount package (24.21 × 24.21 mm).

Designed for consumer‑grade embedded systems, this device offers the architectural features documented in the M68000 family Programmer’s Reference Manual, including integer and floating‑point programming models and the core register set. Typical uses include control, interface, and general embedded compute tasks where a compact, standardized 32‑bit MPU is required.

Key Features

• Core and Performance EC000 core; single 32‑bit processing core running at a fixed 12 MHz clock frequency for deterministic embedded operation.
• Power and I/O 5 V I/O voltage, suitable for legacy 5 V systems and existing board designs.
• Package and Mounting 68‑PLCC (24.21 × 24.21 mm) package with J‑lead 68‑LCC case; surface‑mount mounting type for compact PCB layouts.
• Operating Range Qualified for consumer applications with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Standards and Compliance RoHS compliant to meet common environmental requirements.
• Documentation and Architecture Supported by the M68000 family Programmer’s Reference Manual, which details the integer unit programming model (data registers D7–D0, address registers A7–A0, program counter, condition code register) and floating‑point programming model elements.
• Graphics No graphics acceleration; suitable for control and compute tasks rather than graphics workloads.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control – Deterministic 32‑bit processing for control loops, task scheduling, and system management in consumer devices.
• User Interface Controllers – Handling UI processing and peripheral coordination in appliances and instrumentation.
• Legacy System Integration – Replacement or integration into systems that require 5 V I/O and established M68000 family programming models.

Unique Advantages

• Proven M68000 Family Architecture: Part of the MC68EC000 series and documented in the M68000 Programmer’s Reference Manual, enabling familiarity for teams experienced with this architecture.
• Compact PLCC Surface‑Mount Package: 68‑pin PLCC (24.21 × 24.21 mm) balances pin count and board area for space‑constrained designs.
• 5 V I/O Compatibility: Native 5 V I/O simplifies integration with legacy peripherals and sensor interfaces that operate at 5 V logic levels.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets environmental compliance expectations for contemporary consumer product deployments.
• Clear Documentation: Programmer’s reference material outlines register sets and programming models, aiding software development and debugging.
