MC68VZ328VP

The MC68VZ328VP from NXP Semiconductors is a FLX68000-based microprocessor offering a single 32‑bit core running at 33 MHz in a compact 144‑MAPBGA (13×13) surface‑mount package. It is part of the MC68VZ328 (DragonBall VZ) family and is supplied in tray packaging.

Designed for embedded and portable systems, the device integrates memory controllers for SDRAM and DRAM, peripheral interfaces such as PWM, and a System Integration Module to reduce external glue logic and board space. The device’s static core and 3 V I/O support lower-power operation and system-level flexibility.

Key Features

• Core  FLX68000 static CPU core; single 32‑bit core providing the architecture foundation for embedded designs.
• Clock and Performance  33 MHz processor clock. Datasheet notes a static core design with 5.4 MIPS performance at 33 MHz.
• Memory and Controllers  On‑chip memory controller functions with support for SDRAM and DRAM; documented glueless interface options to SRAM, DRAM, SDRAM, EPROM, and FLASH.
• Peripherals and Interfaces  Integrated peripherals include UART (with IrDA 1.0 in the family description), SPI with FIFO, 16‑bit timers and PWM outputs for common embedded control tasks.
• System Integration Module (SIM)  Integrated SIM provides system configuration, programmable address mapping and other functions to reduce external array logic and parts count.
• Power and I/O  Static core allows the processor clock to be stopped for power savings; specified I/O voltage of 3 V.
• Package and Mounting  144‑MAPBGA (13×13) supplier device package; surface‑mount assembly, shipped in tray format.

Typical Applications

• Portable/Handheld Devices  Well suited for PDAs and other handhelds where compact packaging and integrated peripherals reduce BOM and board area.
• Consumer Fitness and Wearables  Applicable to exercise monitors and similar portable consumer devices requiring integrated memory support and low‑power operation.
• Navigation and Location Devices  Suitable for navigation systems that benefit from on‑chip memory controllers and serial interfaces for sensor and display connectivity.
• Smart Mobile Devices  Appropriate for smart phone and related portable designs leveraging integrated system functions and compact BGA packaging.

Unique Advantages
