MC68LC060RC66

The MC68LC060RC66 from NXP Semiconductors is a member of the MC68LC060 series: a single-core, 32-bit M68060-family microprocessor delivered in a 206-pin PGA package. It operates at 66 MHz and provides a compact, through-hole solution for embedded designs requiring a 32-bit processor core and standard serial communications.

This device targets embedded and legacy systems where a 66 MHz 68060-class processor, 3.3 V I/O and a 206-PGA form factor are required. It is RoHS compliant and rated for operation from 0 °C to 70 °C.

Key Features

• Core: 68060 core processor implemented as a single 32-bit core, suitable for embedded M680x0-class applications.
• Performance: 66 MHz clock speed for deterministic processing in control and compute tasks.
• Power / I/O: 3.3 V I/O voltage level for compatibility with modern 3.3 V system logic.
• Package: 206-pin PGA package (Supplier Device Package: 206-PGA, 47.25×47.25 mm); Package case listed as 206-BPGA. Delivered for through-hole mounting.
• Interfaces: Includes SCI (Serial Communications Interface) for standard serial connectivity.
• Graphics: No graphics acceleration—focused on general-purpose embedded processing.
• Operating Temperature: Specified for 0 °C to 70 °C operation to match room-temperature embedded and industrial environments.
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control Systems: Use as the main processor in control and automation units where a 32-bit M68060-class core at 66 MHz meets system timing requirements.
• Legacy System Maintenance: Suitable for board-level replacements or refurbishments of systems built around the M680x0 architecture.
• Industrial Instrumentation: Drives data acquisition and instrument control functions within the 0 °C to 70 °C operating range.
• Prototyping and Development: Through-hole 206-PGA mounting supports prototyping, evaluation, and repair workflows that require socketed or removable processors.

Unique Advantages

• Known M68060 Architecture: Implements the 68060 core processor, allowing designers familiar with the M680x0 family to leverage existing software and design expertise.
• 66 MHz Deterministic Clocking: Provides predictable single-core performance suitable for time-critical embedded tasks.
• 3.3 V I/O Compatibility: Matches common modern logic levels, simplifying interfacing with 3.3 V peripherals and buses.
• Through-Hole 206-PGA Packaging: The 206-pin PGA form factor (47.25×47.25 mm) supports socketed installation and ease of replacement during maintenance or development.
• Simple Serial Connectivity: On-chip SCI interface for standard serial communications without additional interface ICs.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets lead-free environmental requirements for current manufacturing standards.
