MC68SEC000AA16R2

The MC68SEC000AA16R2 is a static embedded microprocessor based on the EC000 core, providing a single 32-bit core running at 16 MHz in a 64‑lead QFP package. It targets low‑power embedded applications where compact footprint, low standby current and compatibility with established M68000 family software and tools are important.

Designed for battery‑operated and portable systems, the device combines static architecture and low‑power modes with support for DRAM controllers and a 16‑Mbyte linear addressing range to simplify system design.

Key Features

• Core and Architecture EC000 core, single 32‑bit processor delivering 16 MHz operation and a 16‑Mbyte linear addressing range.
• Power Management Static design with low‑power standby; typical current consumption cited as 0.5 µA in static standby and 15.0 mA in normal 3.3 V operation. Operates in 3.3 V or 5.0 V systems.
• Memory and Bus Support for DRAM controllers and a 32‑bit data/address architecture for efficient data handling.
• Interfaces Includes a 10 Mbps Ethernet interface (1) for basic networking connectivity.
• Package and Mounting 64‑lead QFP package (14 mm × 14 mm) in a surface‑mount form factor suitable for compact boards.
• Operating Range Specified operating temperature range: 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Standards and Compliance RoHS compliant.
• Graphics No dedicated graphics acceleration.

Typical Applications

• Portable Consumer Electronics Battery‑operated handhelds and electronic games benefit from the MC68SEC000AA16R2’s low standby current and compact QFP package.
• Personal Digital Assistants and Handheld Instruments Static architecture and 3.3 V/5.0 V operation make it suitable for PDAs and portable measuring equipment.
• Embedded Control Systems Single‑core 32‑bit processing and DRAM controller support are well matched to control and user‑interface tasks in embedded products.
• Low‑Power Networking Nodes Basic 10 Mbps Ethernet support allows simple network connectivity in constrained designs.

Unique Advantages

• Low static power: Static implementation yields microamp standby current, reducing battery drain in suspend modes.
• Voltage flexibility: Operable at 3.3 V or 5.0 V, enabling use across a range of system power rails.
• Software continuity: Object‑code compatibility with the M68000 family lets designers leverage existing code and established development tools.
• Compact surface‑mount package: 64‑lead QFP (14×14 mm) provides a small footprint for space‑constrained PCBs.
• Integrated system support: On‑chip DRAM controller support and a 16‑Mbyte addressing range simplify memory subsystem design.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance supports environmental requirements for modern electronics production.
