Overview of MC68HC000RC16 – IC MPU M680X0 16MHZ 68PGA
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.
