Introduction

The MC68HC908JL8 is a member of the low-cost, high-performance M68HC08 Family of 8-bit microcontroller units (MCUs). The M68HC08 Family is based on the customer-specified integrated circuit (CSIC) design strategy. 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
