Overview of MC68HC000RC8 – IC MPU M680X0 8MHz 68PGA
The MC68HC000RC8 is a single-core EC000 microprocessor from the MC68HC000 series, featuring a 32-bit core running at 8 MHz. It is supplied in a 68‑PGA (26.92 × 26.92 mm) through‑hole package and is qualified for consumer applications.
This device is targeted at embedded system designs that require a 32‑bit general-purpose processor with 5 V I/O and a consumer temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C. The device is RoHS compliant.
Key Features
- Core and Architecture EC000 core, single 32‑bit processing core suitable for general-purpose embedded computing.
- Clock Speed 8 MHz operating frequency for deterministic, low‑speed control and processing tasks.
- Supply and I/O Voltage 5 V I/O voltage compatible with legacy 5 V systems and peripherals.
- Package and Mounting 68‑PGA (26.92 × 26.92 mm) package in a 68‑BCPGA case, designed for through‑hole mounting to support robust mechanical connections.
- Qualification and Environmental Consumer qualification with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C and RoHS compliance.
- Graphics No dedicated graphics acceleration; focused on general-purpose processing as specified.
Typical Applications
- Consumer Electronics Control and management functions in consumer devices that operate within a 0 °C to 70 °C range.
- Embedded Control General-purpose processing for embedded systems requiring a 32‑bit core and 5 V I/O compatibility.
- Legacy Platform Support Replacement or maintenance of existing systems using the M680x0 family form factor and electrical characteristics.
- Development and Education Suitable for development boards and educational projects that work with through‑hole 68‑PGA packages and 5 V logic.
