Introduction

The MC68HC908EY16A 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.

The information contained in this document pertains to the MC68HC908EY8A with the exceptions noted in Appendix A MC68HC908EY8A.

Features

For convenience, features have been organized to reflect:

• Standard features of the MC68HC908EY16A

• Features of the CPU08

Standard features of the MC68HC908EY16A include:

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

• 8-MHz internal bus frequency at 5V

• Internal oscillator requiring no external components:

– Software selectable bus frequencies

– 25 percent accuracy with a trimming capability of better than 1 percent

– Clock monitor

– Option to allow use of external clock source or external crystal/ceramic resonator

• 15,872 bytes of on-chip FLASH memory with in-circuit programming

• FLASH program memory security(1)

• 512 bytes of on-chip random-access memory (RAM)

• Low voltage inhibit (LVI) module

• Internal clock generator module (ICG)

• Two 16-bit, 2-channel timer (TIMA and TIMB) interface modules with selectable input capture, output compare, and pulse-width modulation (PWM) capability on each channel

• 8-channel, 10-bit successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC)

• Enhanced serial communications interface module (ESCI) for local interconnect network (LIN) connectivity
