General Description

Introduction

The MC68HC908JL8 is a member of the low-cost, high-performance M68HC08 Family of 8-bit microcontroller units (MCUs). All MCUs in the family use the enhanced M68HC08 central processor unit (CPU08) and are available with a variety of modules, memory sizes and types, and package types.

Features

Features of the MC68HC908JL8 include the following:

• High-performance M68HC08 architecture

• Fully upward-compatible object code with M6805, M146805, and M68HC05 Families

• Low-power design; fully static with stop and wait modes

• Maximum internal bus frequency:

– 8-MHz at 5V operating voltage

– 4-MHz at 3V operating voltage

• Oscillator options:

– Crystal or resonator

– RC oscillator

• 8,192 bytes user program FLASH memory with security(1) feature

• 256 bytes of on-chip RAM

• Two 16-bit, 2-channel timer interface modules (TIM1 and TIM2) with selectable input capture, output compare, and PWM capability on each channel; external clock input option on TIM2

• 13-channel, 8-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC)

• Serial communications interface module (SCI)

• 26 general-purpose input/output (I/O) ports:

– 8 keyboard interrupt with internal pull-up
