MC68EN360AI25VL

The MC68EN360AI25VL is a CPU32+ microprocessor IC in a 240‑pin FQFP (32×32) surface‑mount package, optimized for embedded communications applications. It integrates a 32‑bit CPU32+ core running at 25 MHz with an on‑chip Communications Processor Module (CPM) and multiple serial controllers to address protocol‑centric embedded designs.

Designed for systems requiring integrated communications peripherals and flexible memory interfaces, the device offers on‑chip DMA, timers, watchdog and bus‑monitoring features that simplify system design and speed time to market.

Key Features

• Core CPU32+ 32‑bit core, single core operating at 25 MHz; datasheet specifies approximately 4.5 MIPS at 25 MHz.
• Memory and Bus Up to 32‑bit data bus with dynamic bus sizing for 8‑ and 16‑bit modes; support for up to 32 address lines (at least 28 always available) and flexible boot/memory chip select options for SRAM, EPROM, Flash, etc.
• Communications Processor Module (CPM) On‑chip CPM with RISC controller and 224 buffer descriptors; supports continuous transmit/receive modes and CPM commands for communications control.
• Serial Interfaces Seven serial channels (four SCCs, two SMCs, one SPI); four SCCs with optional Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 support on SCC1 (full 10‑Mbps available on the MC68EN360 variant).
• DMA and Timers Two independent IDMAs with buffer chaining, auto buffer modes and 32‑bit transfer support; four general‑purpose timers (four 16‑bit or two 32‑bit configurations) with gate mode support.
• System Integration & Reliability System Integration Module (SIM60) including bus monitor, double bus fault monitor, spurious interrupt monitor, software watchdog, clock synthesizer, breakpoint logic and IEEE 1149.1 Test Access Port.
• Package & Mounting 240‑BFQFP / 240‑FQFP (32×32) surface‑mount package.
• Power & I/O I/O voltage 3.3 V.
• Ethernet Full 10 Mbps Ethernet support available on SCC1 for the MC68EN360 variant.
• Operating Range & Compliance Commercial temperature range: 0 °C to 70 °C. RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Communications Controllers Integrated CPM, multiple SCCs/SMCs and DMA support make the device suitable for protocol handling and serial communications offload.
• Network Interface Modules Optional 10 Mbps Ethernet on SCC1 enables use in legacy Ethernet interfaces and network adapter designs.
• Industrial Control Systems Timers, watchdog, DMA and robust bus monitoring support real‑time control and supervisory communication tasks.
• Telecommunications Equipment On‑chip communications resources (HDLC/SDLC support on SCCs) and buffer descriptor architecture support multi‑channel serial data handling.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated communications subsystem: CPM plus seven serial channels (four SCCs, two SMCs, one SPI) reduce external controller and peripheral count.
• Flexible memory interfacing: Support for 8/16/32‑bit memories, multiple CAS/WE/OE lines and boot chip select options simplifies system memory design.
• On‑chip DMA and timers: Two IDMAs with buffer chaining and efficient packing, plus versatile timers, offload data movement and timing tasks from the CPU.
• System health and debug features: On‑chip watchdog, bus monitors, breakpoint logic and IEEE 1149.1 TAP aid reliability, fault detection and in‑system test.
• Compact surface‑mount package: 240‑pin FQFP (32×32) provides high integration in a manufacturable surface‑mount form factor.
• Standards‑oriented serial support: SCCs provide HDLC/SDLC support and optional Ethernet (10 Mbps) on SCC1 for protocol interoperability.
