MC68HC000CRC8

The MC68HC000CRC8 is an NXP Semiconductors EC000-core microprocessor from the MC68HC000 series. It provides a single 32‑bit core running at 8 MHz with 5 V I/O and is qualified for industrial use.

Designed for embedded applications that require a through‑hole 68‑PGA package (26.92 × 26.92 mm) and reliable operation across a wide temperature range (‑40 °C to 85 °C), this device suits designs where robust mounting and industrial qualification are important.

Key Features

• Core & Architecture — EC000 single core, 32‑bit processor providing deterministic general‑purpose processing for embedded systems.
• Clock Speed — 8 MHz operating frequency for control and processing tasks in lower‑speed embedded designs.
• Voltage — 5 V I/O supply as specified for traditional embedded system interfaces.
• Package & Mounting — 68‑PGA (26.92 × 26.92 mm) package in a 68‑BCPGA case, supplied for through‑hole mounting to support robust PCB connections.
• Industrial Qualification — Product qualification listed as Industrial and specified for operation from ‑40 °C to 85 °C.
• Standards & Compliance — RoHS compliant.
• Graphics — No graphics acceleration, optimized for control and processing rather than graphics workloads.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — Suitable for controllers and embedded logic in industrial equipment where industrial qualification and wide temperature range are required.
• Embedded Systems — Fits general embedded processor roles that require a 32‑bit core and through‑hole mounting for durable assemblies.
• Legacy and Migration Designs — Appropriate for designs targeting the MC68000 family architecture where a proven EC000 core is needed.
• Rugged Hardware — Through‑hole 68‑PGA package supports applications needing robust solder connections and mechanical reliability across temperature extremes.

Unique Advantages

• Industrial‑grade operation — Specified for ‑40 °C to 85 °C and listed as Industrial qualification to meet harsher environment requirements.
• Robust mechanical mounting — Through‑hole 68‑PGA package supports stronger PCB retention compared with surface‑mount alternatives.
• Established core architecture — EC000 core from the MC68HC000 family provides a known, documented architecture for developers working with M680x0 series devices.
• Simple voltage interface — 5 V I/O simplifies integration with legacy 5 V peripherals and system rails.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance supports projects with lead‑free and environmental requirements.
• Deterministic processing at 8 MHz — Predictable single‑core performance suitable for control and deterministic embedded tasks.
