MC68EN360AI25L

The MC68EN360AI25L is a CPU32+ microprocessor from the MC68 series by NXP Semiconductors. It integrates a single 32‑bit CPU core running at 25 MHz and is optimized for embedded controller and communications-focused applications.

Designed for systems requiring on‑chip communications engines and flexible bus/memory interfaces, this device delivers integration that simplifies board design while providing dedicated communications processing and serial channel support.

Key Features

• Core & Performance  CPU32+ core, single 32‑bit processor running at 25 MHz (documented 4.5 MIPS at 25 MHz).
• Memory & Bus  Up to 32‑bit data bus with dynamic bus sizing for 8/16 bits; boot chip select options for 8‑, 16‑, or 32‑bit memory and support for external SRAM/EPROM/Flash.
• Communications Processor Module (CPM)  On‑chip CPM (communications RISC controller) with support for 224 buffer descriptors and continuous mode transmission/reception to offload serial channel handling.
• Serial Interfaces  Four Serial Communications Controllers (SCCs) plus two Serial Management Controllers (SMCs) and one SPI — seven serial channels in total. SCC1 supports optional Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 at full 10 Mbps on the EN variant.
• DMA & Data Transfer  Two independent IDMAs with single address mode, buffer chaining, auto buffer modes and automatic packing for efficient 32‑bit transfers.
• Timers & Peripheral  Four general‑purpose timers (configurable as four 16‑bit or two 32‑bit timers) and a suite of peripheral functions for timing and control.
• System Integration & Debug  SIM60 system integration features including bus monitor, double bus fault monitor, software watchdog, clock synthesizer, breakpoint logic and IEEE 1149.1 Test Access Port.
• Package & Electrical  240‑pin FQFP (32×32 mm) surface‑mount package, 5 V I/O supply.
• Operating Range & Compliance  Commercial temperature range 0 °C to 70 °C; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Communications Controllers  Use the integrated CPM and multiple serial channels to implement protocol handling and channel multiplexing in communications equipment.
• Network Interface Modules  Leverage SCC1’s optional 10 Mbps Ethernet support for low‑speed network endpoints and peripheral networked devices.
• Industrial and Controller Systems  Combine the CPU32+ core, DMA engines and flexible memory interface for control logic, I/O management and deterministic data movement.
• Peripheral Bridging and Offload  Employ the CPM and serial controllers to offload serial protocol processing from a host processor or to act as a stand‑alone communications co‑processor.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated communications engine: On‑chip CPM plus four SCCs, two SMCs and SPI reduce external controller and peripheral requirements for communications‑centric designs.
• Flexible memory and bus sizing: Dynamic bus sizing and boot chip select options support 8/16/32‑bit memory configurations for adaptable system architectures.
• Dedicated DMA support: Two IDMAs with buffer chaining and auto buffer modes enable efficient bulk transfers and lower CPU load for data‑intensive tasks.
• Built‑in system supervision: SIM60 features — watchdog, bus monitors, breakpoint logic and IEEE 1149.1 — help streamline debug and increase system reliability.
• Ethernet option on EN variant: Full 10 Mbps Ethernet support on SCC1 (available on this MC68EN360 variant) simplifies integration of network connectivity.
• Standard commercial operating range and RoHS compliance: Ready for commercial embedded deployments with a 0 °C to 70 °C range and RoHS compliance for regulatory alignment.
