MC68SZ328AVM66

The MC68SZ328AVM66 is a FLX68000-based microprocessor optimized for embedded and portable system designs. It features a single 32-bit core running at 66 MHz and integrates a broad set of on-chip peripherals and memory controllers to streamline system design.

Targeted at handheld and information-appliance applications, the device delivers a compact surface-mount 196-pin BGA package and integrated interfaces that reduce external component count and simplify board-level integration.

Key Features

• Core & Performance — FLX68000 core, single 32-bit CPU with a 66 MHz operating speed for control and application processing.
• Bus Architecture — 32-bit internal address bus with a 16-bit data bus as described in the FLX68000 implementation, supporting classic 68K-compatible software models.
• Memory Controllers — Integrated controllers for SDRAM and DRAM to support external volatile memory configurations.
• Embedded Memory — On-chip embedded SRAM to support system code and data needs (as noted in the product brief).
• Integrated Peripherals — On-chip subsystems include PWM, timers, UARTs, I2C, USB device controller, MMC/SD and Memory Stick host controllers, ADC with touch panel control, and DMA controller for efficient peripheral handling.
• Package & Mounting — Supplier device package: 196-ball BGA; mounting type: surface mount; package supplied in tray format.
• Supply & I/O — I/O voltage specified at 3 V for interfacing with system peripherals.

Typical Applications

• Handheld Devices — Designed for PDAs and other handheld computers where integrated peripherals and compact package size reduce board area and BOM.
• Mobile and Messaging Devices — Suited to smart phones and wireless communicators that benefit from embedded USB, MMC/SD host support, and low-pin-count packaging.
• Web Appliances — Useful in compact web appliances and information appliances that require a balance of processing capability and integrated I/O.
• Human Interface Products — ADC with touch-panel control and TFT LCD support enable user-interface applications with integrated touch and display control.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Peripheral Set: On-chip USB device controller, MMC/SD host controllers, I2C, UARTs, PWM and ADC reduce the need for multiple external controllers and lower BOM.
• Memory Flexibility: Built-in SDRAM/DRAM controllers plus embedded SRAM support a range of memory architectures for performance and cost trade-offs.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: 196-BGA footprint minimizes PCB area for space-constrained designs while supporting robust surface-mount assembly.
• 68K Software Compatibility: FLX68000 core provides compatibility with established MC68000/MC68EC000 code bases, aiding software reuse and faster product development.
• Peripheral Offload: DMA controller and multiple on-chip interfaces offload routine data movement and I/O tasks from the CPU for more efficient system operation.
