MC68LC302PU16VCT

The MC68LC302PU16VCT is a single-core M68000-family microprocessor implementing a static 68000 core with 8/16-bit data capability and a 16 MHz operating clock. It integrates on-chip system and communications functions—including DMA, timers, parallel I/O and dual-port RAM—targeted at embedded and multiprotocol applications.

Designed for compact, low-profile boards, this device provides a highly integrated option for portable and embedded designs that require on-chip peripherals, flexible memory interfacing and low-voltage 3.3 V I/O in a 100-LQFP (14 × 14 mm) surface-mount package. Operating temperature is 0°C to 70°C and the device is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Core Static M68000 core supporting 8- or 16-bit M68000 family system operation at 16 MHz.
• On-chip System Integration Includes an IDMA controller, interrupt controller, parallel I/O ports with interrupt capability and system control logic for integrated system management.
• Communications Processor (CP) On-chip main RISC controller with two full-duplex serial communications controllers (SCCs) supporting protocols such as HDLC/SDLC, UART and BISYNC with autobaud and transparent modes.
• Memory 1,152-byte on-chip dual-port RAM plus four programmable chip-select lines and glueless interface capability to EPROM, SRAM, Flash and EEPROM.
• Timers and Watchdog Three timers including a watchdog timer and a periodic interrupt timer (PIT) for reliable timing and supervisory functions.
• Clocking and PLL On-chip clock generator with PLL support enabling operation with 32 kHz or 4 MHz crystals and providing a clock output signal.
• Package and Mounting 100-LQFP surface-mount package, 14 × 14 mm, suitable for height-restricted applications.
• Power and I/O 3.3 V I/O signaling and low-power standby modes for power-sensitive designs.
• Operating Range and Compliance Specified for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Communications Equipment — Use the integrated RISC CP and dual SCCs for protocol handling, HDLC, UART or BISYNC link management in communication and networking modules.
• Portable and PCMCIA Devices — Low-profile 100-LQFP package and low-power modes make the device suitable for height-restricted and portable systems.
• Embedded Control and Instrumentation — On-chip DMA, timers and watchdog support deterministic control tasks and reliable system supervision.
• Memory-Intensive Embedded Designs — Programmable chip-selects and a glueless interface to common nonvolatile and volatile memories simplify board-level memory integration.

Unique Advantages

• Highly Integrated System Functions: On-chip DMA, interrupt controller, PIO and dual-port RAM reduce external component count and simplify board design.
• Multiprotocol Communications: Built-in RISC CP and SCCs support multiple serial protocols—reducing the need for external protocol converters.
• Flexible Memory Interface: Four programmable chip-selects and glueless interfacing to EPROM, SRAM, Flash and EEPROM streamline memory subsystem design.
• Compact, Low-Profile Package: 100-LQFP (14 × 14 mm) surface-mount package fits height-restricted applications while maintaining extensive system integration.
• Robust Timing and Supervision: Multiple timers including a watchdog and PIT provide reliable timing control and system safety functions.
• 3.3 V I/O and Low-Power Modes: Low-voltage I/O and standby modes help optimize power budgets in portable applications.
