MC68HC000RC16

The MC68HC000RC16 is a single‑core 32‑bit microprocessor based on the EC000 core, operating at 16 MHz. It targets embedded and consumer applications requiring a classic M680x0 architecture in a through‑hole 68‑PGA package.

This part delivers a 32‑bit core with 5 V I/O, RoHS compliance, and an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C, making it suitable for consumer and embedded designs that rely on proven M680x0 series behavior and documentation.

Key Features

• Core — EC000 single 32‑bit core designed for M680x0 series compatibility.
• Clock Speed — 16 MHz operating frequency for timing-deterministic embedded tasks.
• Voltage — 5 V I/O supply voltage compatible with legacy TTL/CMOS interfacing environments.
• Package & Mounting — 68‑PGA (26.92 × 26.92 mm) package, 68‑BCPGA case, through‑hole mounting for board-level robustness and ease of replacement.
• Operating Range — Rated for operation from 0 °C to 70 °C to meet consumer temperature requirements.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.
• Graphics — No integrated graphics acceleration; ideal for control‑centric or compute tasks where discrete graphics are not required.
• Documentation — Part of the M68000 family with accompanying user manual and reference material for architecture and programming model details.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control — MCU‑class control for embedded systems that leverage a 32‑bit EC000 core and require through‑hole packaging for repairability.
• Consumer Electronics — Control and processing tasks in consumer devices where the part’s consumer qualification and 0 °C to 70 °C rating meet product requirements.
• Legacy System Maintenance — Replacement and maintenance of existing M680x0‑based designs that depend on the architecture and documented programming model.

Unique Advantages

• Architectural continuity: Part of the M68000 family and based on the EC000 core, enabling reuse of existing design knowledge and software assets.
• Through‑hole 68‑PGA package: 68‑pin PGA (26.92 × 26.92 mm) simplifies board replacement and mechanical retention for repairable assemblies.
• Simple power interface: 5 V I/O reduces the need for additional level‑translation in legacy systems.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental regulatory expectations for modern consumer products.
• Clear operating specification: Defined 0 °C to 70 °C temperature range and explicit speed/voltage ratings for straightforward system integration.
