MC68VZ328CVP

The MC68VZ328CVP is a FLX68000-based microprocessor delivered in a 144-MAPBGA (13×13) surface-mount package. It implements a single 32-bit core running at 33 MHz with integrated system functions and memory controllers for compact embedded designs.

Designed to save board space and reduce external logic, the device targets portable and handheld applications such as PDAs, exercise monitors, navigation systems, and smart phones where integration, SDRAM support, and power efficiency matter.

Key Features

• Core Static FLX68000 CPU core with a 32-bit internal address bus; the datasheet describes full compatibility with MC68000 and MC68EC000.
• Clock and Performance 33 MHz processor clock; datasheet cites approximately 5.4 MIPS at 33 MHz.
• Memory Controllers On-chip controllers supporting SDRAM and DRAM and a glueless interface to SRAM, DRAM, SDRAM, EPROM, and FLASH memory as described in the product brief.
• On-chip Peripherals Integrated interfaces include UART, SPI (including SPI with FIFO), PWM, and 16-bit timers, reducing external component count.
• System Integration Module (SIM) Integrated SIM provides system configuration, programmable address mapping and functions that reduce board-level glue logic.
• Power and Voltage I/O voltage specified at 3 V; static core design allows the processor clock to be stopped to provide power savings per the product brief.
• Package and Mounting 144-MAPBGA (13×13) supplier device package, surface-mount, supplied in tray format.

Typical Applications

• Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) — Integration and SDRAM support make the device suited to compact PDA system designs.
• Handheld Fitness and Exercise Monitors — Compact package and on-chip peripherals support small-form-factor monitoring devices.
• Navigation Systems — Integrated memory interfaces and serial communications help implement map and routing functions.
• Smart Phones and Portable Multimedia — On-chip timers, UART/SPI, PWM, and memory controllers enable common handheld system functions.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated system functions: The System Integration Module and on-chip memory controllers reduce external glue logic and overall BOM.
• Static core for power control: The FLX68000 static design permits stopping the processor clock to reduce power consumption.
• Direct SDRAM/DRAM support: Built-in controllers and glueless interfaces simplify memory subsystem design.
• Compact BGA packaging: 144-MAPBGA (13×13) surface-mount package minimizes PCB footprint for dense, portable designs.
• Rich on-chip peripheral set: UART, SPI (with FIFO), PWM and 16-bit timers help lower system component count and speed integration.
• Architecture compatibility: Stated compatibility with MC68000 and MC68EC000 supports design continuity where those architectures are referenced.
