MC68EC000EI20

The MC68EC000EI20 is a single‑core, 32‑bit microprocessor in the MC68EC000 series from NXP Semiconductors, clocked at 20 MHz and specified for consumer applications. It provides a 32‑bit EC000 core with 5 V I/O and is supplied in a 68‑lead PLCC surface‑mount package (24.21 × 24.21 mm).

Targeted at embedded and consumer designs, this device combines a classic M680x0 family programming model with RoHS compliance and a standard PLCC footprint for integration into legacy and new boards that require a 32‑bit processing element at 20 MHz.

Key Features

• Core  EC000 core processor; single 32‑bit processing core suitable for embedded control and general-purpose computation consistent with the M680x0 family programming model.
• Clock Speed  20 MHz operating frequency for deterministic mid‑range embedded performance.
• Voltage and I/O  5 V I/O supply voltage compatible with 5 V system logic levels.
• Package and Mounting  68‑lead PLCC (J‑Lead) surface‑mount package, supplier device package dimensions 24.21 × 24.21 mm for standard PLCC board implementations.
• Operating Range  Consumer‑grade operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Standards and Compliance  RoHS‑compliant material status and qualified for consumer applications.
• M68000 Family Documentation  Supported by the M68000 Family Programmer’s Reference Manual, which documents the integer unit programming model (data registers D7–D0, address registers A7–A0, program counter, condition code register) and related programmer resources for the family.
• Graphics  No graphics acceleration—focused on processor core and control tasks.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Systems  Use as a 32‑bit processing element in embedded control applications where a 20 MHz EC000 core and 5 V I/O are appropriate.
• Consumer Electronics  Integration into consumer devices that operate within 0 °C to 70 °C and require RoHS‑compliant components.
• Legacy M680x0 Designs  Suitable for maintenance or replacement in systems using M68000‑family architectures and programming models.
• Evaluation and Development  Platform for firmware development and evaluation that leverages the documented M68000 family programming model.

Unique Advantages

• 32‑Bit EC000 Core: Delivers a full 32‑bit processing model consistent with the M680x0 family for software reuse and established programming practices.
• Standard PLCC Footprint: 68‑lead PLCC (24.21 × 24.21 mm) simplifies board layout for designs that use PLCC sockets or surface‑mount PLCC footprints.
• 5 V I/O Compatibility: Native 5 V I/O makes the device directly compatible with legacy 5 V logic domains.
• RoHS‑Compliant: Material compliance supports eco‑design and manufacturing requirements for consumer products.
• Documented Programming Model: Backed by the M68000 Family Programmer’s Reference Manual content for integer and related programming model details, aiding firmware development and integration.
• Consumer‑Grade Specification: Temperature and qualification align with consumer product lifecycles and application environments.
