MC68EC030FE25C

The MC68EC030FE25C is a 32‑bit embedded controller based on the 68030 core, delivering a single 32‑bit processing core at 25 MHz in a 132‑CQFP (24×24) surface‑mount package. It is designed for embedded control applications that require a compact, code‑compatible M680x0 architecture with integrated cache and flexible bus interfacing.

Key value comes from integrated instruction and data caches, a burst‑mode bus interface with dynamic bus sizing, and support for standard coprocessor connectivity—enabling efficient memory system use and straightforward migration for designs leveraging the M68000 family.

Key Features

• Core & Architecture 68030 core processor providing a single 32‑bit execution core running at 25 MHz, preserving the M68000 family instruction set and addressing modes.
• On‑Chip Caches Integrated on‑chip data cache (256 bytes) and instruction cache (256 bytes) to reduce external memory accesses and improve execution efficiency.
• Burst‑Mode Bus Interface Burst‑mode bus transfers and an enhanced bus controller support efficient DRAM access and overlapped instruction execution for improved throughput.
• Flexible Memory Interface Dynamic bus sizing enables direct interfacing to 8‑, 16‑, and 32‑bit devices; the device also provides complete 32‑bit nonmultiplexed address and data buses and a 4‑Gbyte direct addressing range.
• System Integration & Control Two access control registers allow blocks to be defined for cacheability protection; full coprocessor interface support simplifies integration of external coprocessors.
• Packaging & Power Supplied in a 132‑CQFP (24×24) surface‑mount package with Vio specified at 5 V and an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Interfaces Includes SCI as an additional interface for serial communications and peripheral integration.
• Compliance RoHS status: Compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control Systems Use as the main controller in embedded control applications where M680x0 code compatibility and integrated caches improve system responsiveness.
• Industrial Automation Suitable for automation controllers and process control modules that benefit from the device’s burst‑mode bus interface and dynamic bus sizing when interfacing to varied memory and I/O widths.
• Communications & Interface Modules With SCI and nonmultiplexed address/data buses, the device fits communication interface designs requiring deterministic bus behavior and legacy M680x0 compatibility.

Unique Advantages

• Code Compatibility with M680x0 Family: Maintains object‑code compatibility with MC68020, MC68030 and earlier M68000 processors to ease migration and reuse of existing code.
• Integrated Caches Reduce External Memory Demand: 256‑byte instruction and data caches lower external memory bandwidth needs and help streamline system memory design.
• Flexible Bus and Memory Support: Dynamic bus sizing and burst transfers provide direct interfacing to 8/16/32‑bit devices and efficient DRAM access patterns.
• System Control Features: Access control registers and a pipelined architecture enable controlled cacheability and overlapped execution for predictable performance.
• Package and Assembly Convenience: Delivered in a 132‑CQFP surface‑mount package (24×24) for compact PCB implementations.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports designs targeting markets with environmental restrictions on lead and certain hazardous substances.
