MC68EN360AI33L-FR Übersicht

The Freescale (NXP) MC68EN360AI33L-FR is a CPU32+ microprocessor IC from the M683xx QUICC (Quad Integrated Communication Controller) family that integrates a single 32-bit core running at 33 MHz with an on-chip Communications Processor Module (CPM), housed in a 240-pin FQFP (32x32 mm) package. It is built on a 0.57 um CMOS process and operates from a 5 V supply, distinguishing it from the 3.3 V "EN" variant. The device combines the CPU32+ core with the CPM coprocessor, four serial communications controllers (SCCs), two serial management controllers (SMCs), one serial peripheral interface (SPI), and a 10 Mbps Ethernet MAC, making it a complete system-on-chip for embedded networking.

What is a QUICC microprocessor? The QUICC is an integrated communications controller family that fuses a general-purpose CPU32+ microprocessor with a dedicated RISC-based Communications Processor Module offloading serial and networking tasks. In the system hierarchy it sits between microcontroller units (MCUs) and dedicated ASIC/SoC solutions, targeted at routers, bridges, telecom equipment, and industrial control nodes that need deterministic Ethernet and serial performance without an external MAC.

Key features include 1 core 32-bit data path, 33 MHz CPU32+ instruction throughput, a CPM offload engine with 10 Mbps Ethernet, and four SCC channels supporting HDLC/SDLC/PPP/UART framing. The 240-FQFP package is a surface-mount fine-pitch QFP measuring 32x32 mm, suitable for multilayer industrial backplanes. The 5 V core supply and 5 V tolerant I/O simplify integration into legacy telecom backplanes that standardize on 5 V rails rather than 3.3 V.

Architecturally, the CPU32+ core is a 32-bit M68k-family CPU with a unified instruction and data programming model, while the CPM is a separate RISC engine (CP) that handles all serial DMA, SCC/SMC framing, and Ethernet packet buffering without interrupting the main CPU. This dual-engine approach yields deterministic serial latency under heavy network load, an important property for HDLC/PPP links and protocol bridges. The integrated 10 Mbps Ethernet MAC and serial glue allow glue-free connection to PHYs and transceivers.

Typical applications include 10/100 Mbps Ethernet bridges/routers, telecom line cards (ISDN, T1/E1), HDLC/PPP frame relay equipment, industrial serial servers, and legacy 5 V M68k embedded control. The package size and pin count limit it to high-density industrial designs where the CPM's offload is more valuable than a more compact footprint.

When designing with this part, note its End-of-Life status: NXP's product page marks MC68EN360AI33L as "Not For New Designs" and the -FR variant is supplied exclusively by authorized aftermarket distributors for long-life programs. Always validate thermal and signal-integrity margins against the manufacturer's datasheet before finalizing a new design on this part, and consider the MC68EN360AI33L or MC68360 family derivatives if a current-production alternative is required.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing, package and pinout data, drop-in alternatives, and practical design notes that are not collected together in the manufacturer datasheet.

Typische Anwendungen

MC68EN360AI33L-FR ist geeignet für 6 Anwendungs: 10 Mbps Ethernet Bridges and Routers, Telecom Line Cards (ISDN / T1 / E1 Framers), HDLC / PPP Frame-Relay Equipment, Industrial Serial Servers (Multi-Port RS-232/485), Legacy 5V M68k Embedded Control, Industrial Control / Factory Automation Nodes.

🌐

10 Mbps Ethernet Bridges and Routers

The MC68EN360AI33L-FR's integrated 10 Mbps Ethernet MAC with MII interface makes it a fit for legacy bridge and router designs, eliminating the need for an external MAC chip. The CPU32+ core at 33 MHz handles forwarding table management while the CPM's RISC engine runs the Ethernet DMA channel, delivering wire-rate 10 Mbps throughput without CPU loading. Combined with the four SCCs supporting HDLC/SDLC, designers get a complete WAN/LAN routing node - a typical configuration pairs the part with an external 10BASE-T PHY for a 4-port switch.

📡

Telecom Line Cards (ISDN / T1 / E1 Framers)

The four SCCs on the MC68EN360AI33L-FR support HDLC, SDLC, and transparent T1/E1 framing natively in hardware, offloading the main CPU32+ from bit-banging serial streams. In a T1 line card the device handles 24 DS0 channels across 2 SCCs while two more SCCs manage signaling, and the SMCs run auxiliary UART channels for system maintenance. Operates from 5 V supply, matching legacy telecom backplane standards. The QUICC architecture was designed for this workload and remains preferred on long-life telecom gear.

🛰️

HDLC / PPP Frame-Relay Equipment

The CPM's Serial Communication Controllers handle HDLC and PPP frame assembly in hardware with CRC-16 generation, transparently to the application code running on the CPU32+. At 33 MHz system clock the part sustains 4 simultaneous full-duplex HDLC channels at speeds up to 2.048 Mbps each. Frame-relay switch designs use the 240-FQFP package's generous I/O budget to expose all four SCCs plus SMC and SPI to multi-link rear-panel PHYs, while the 5 V core simplifies integration with legacy ST-BUS or H.110 backplanes common in 1990s carrier equipment.

🏭

Industrial Serial Servers (Multi-Port RS-232/485)

Using the dual Serial Management Controllers (SMCs) and SPI master, the MC68EN360AI33L-FR can run up to six UART- or character-mode serial ports when including the SMC pair plus the four SCCs in UART mode. Industrial serial server boxes pair the device with external RS-485 transceivers and an Ethernet PHY, forming a 4-to-32 port serial concentrator rated for substation and SCADA environments. 5 V tolerance and 240-FQFP thermal performance (-40 C to +85 C industrial grade typically) suit unmanned outdoor cabinets.

🖥️

Legacy 5V M68k Embedded Control

The MC68EN360AI33L-FR is a member of the Freescale M68k family and is binary-compatible with the CPU32 instruction set, allowing reuse of legacy firmware, bootloaders, and toolchains (Diab, Green Hills, Microtec). 5 V core supply matches older industrial control hardware that never migrated to 3.3 V, sparing redesign of analog front-ends and 5 V sensors. The CPM block is unused or disabled in such uses, but the SCCs and Ethernet MAC remain available for control-network add-ons such as Modbus RTU over RS-485 or LonWorks bridging.

🏭

Industrial Control / Factory Automation Nodes

In a PLC backplane or distributed IO node the MC68EN360AI33L-FR combines deterministic serial performance with the CPU32+ running a real-time OS (RTOS) such as VxWorks or PSOS. The DRAM controller supports up to 4 GB of byte-addressable memory banks, accommodating large protocol stacks and data-logging buffers on factory-floor nodes. The 33 MHz CPU budget is sufficient for ladder-logic interpretation at sub-millisecond cycle times on typical machines. Long-term field service programs in steel mills, substations, and rail signaling systems continue to deploy these controllers precisely because they are a known, well-characterized commodity.

What processor core is in the MC68EN360AI33L-FR?
The MC68EN360AI33L-FR integrates a CPU32+ 32-bit M68k-family core running at 33 MHz. The CPU works in tandem with a separate Communications Processor Module (CPM) that handles serial channels and Ethernet, offloading all DMA-driven protocol framing from the main CPU. The CPU32+ implements the same M68k instruction set used across the M683xx family.
What is the operating voltage of MC68EN360AI33L-FR?
The MC68EN360AI33L-FR operates from a 5 V supply, distinguishing it from the lower-power 3.3 V "EN" suffix variants in the same QUICC family. This makes the part a direct fit for legacy 5 V telecom and industrial backplanes that standardize on 5 V rails rather than 3.3 V designs. Decoupling must follow the manufacturer's reference design for the 240-FQFP package.
Is MC68EN360AI33L-FR still in production?
No. According to the NXP product page the MC68EN360AI33L is flagged "End of Life / Not For New Designs." New designs should select a current-production equivalent such as the MCF5441x or MPC8309 PowerQUICC family. Stocks today are supplied exclusively by authorized aftermarket distributors for legacy long-life programs and field replacements.
How many serial controllers does MC68EN360AI33L-FR have?
The MC68EN360AI33L-FR integrates four Serial Communication Controllers (SCCs) supporting HDLC, SDLC, PPP, UART, and transparent modes, plus two Serial Management Controllers (SMCs), and one Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). The full set is driven by the on-chip CPM independently of the CPU32+ core, allowing deterministic serial throughput even at 33 MHz CPU clock.
Does MC68EN360AI33L-FR include Ethernet?
Yes. The MC68EN360AI33L-FR integrates a 10 Mbps Ethernet MAC with MII interface to an external PHY. The MAC is handled inside the CPM, so Ethernet frame transfer does not load the main CPU32+. For 100 Mbps operation the part can be paired with 10/100 PHYs that back-pressure on congestion; for full 100 Mbps wire-speed an external bridge or upgrade to PowerQUICC is required.
What package is the MC68EN360AI33L-FR?
The MC68EN360AI33L-FR ships in a 240-pin FQFP measuring 32x32 mm on a 0.5 mm pitch, supplied in Tray packaging per JEDEC tray standards. The -FR suffix denotes a specific reel/tape code variant of the same silicon, sharing identical pinout and footprint with the base MC68EN360AI33L FQFP version.
Where to download the MC68EN360AI33L-FR datasheet PDF?
The MC68EN360AI33L-FR datasheet is part of the MC68360 QUICC family reference manual published by NXP (formerly Freescale). Download the MC68360UM reference manual from the NXP web site, or contact an authorized distributor such as Rochester Electronics for the original 1995-vintage datasheet PDF referenced in the manufacturer's archive.
What is the pinout of the MC68EN360AI33L-FR?
The 240-FQFP pinout is defined in the MC68360 family reference manual. It multiplexes address/data bus pins (A/D) with DRAM control, contains dedicated CPM I/O (SCC, SMC, SPI, MII Ethernet), and JTAG/BDM test pins on specific package locations. Engineers should always cross-check the FQFP ball-out against the package-svg diagram on the XAIPART page before layout work.
What is the best drop-in replacement for the MC68EN360AI33L-FR?
For a true pin-compatible drop-in replacement the Rochester Electronics MC68EN360AI33L (non-FR variant) is the closest match: same silicon, same FQFP-240 footprint, identical pinout. For new designs where EOL status is unacceptable, evaluate PowerQUICC derivatives such as the MPC8309 or MCF5441x, noting these require PCB redesign and firmware port beyond the MC68360 instruction set.
MC68EN360AI33L-FR vs MC68EN360AI33L - what is the difference?
The MC68EN360AI33L-FR and MC68EN360AI33L share identical silicon die and FQFP-240 footprint. The "-FR" suffix denotes a tape-and-reel packaging code variant of the same part; electrical specifications, pinout, and operating characteristics are unchanged. Some inventory programs treat them as separate MPNs for logistics reasons.
What applications use the MC68EN360AI33L-FR?
The MC68EN360AI33L-FR targets 10 Mbps Ethernet bridges and routers, telecom line cards (ISDN, T1/E1 framers), HDLC/PPP frame-relay equipment, industrial serial servers (RS-232/RS-485 multi-port nodes), and legacy 5 V M68k embedded controllers. The integrated CPM offload is most valuable when protocol framing outweighs raw CPU throughput requirements.
What is the price of MC68EN360AI33L-FR?
Pricing for the MC68EN360AI33L-FR as of 2026-10-17 ranges from approximately $85 at qty 1 to around $40 at qty 1000 on the authorized aftermarket channel. Prices are elevated above original 1995 MSRP because the part is obsolete; lead time on lot quantities of 500+ typically runs 6-12 weeks through distributors such as Rochester Electronics.
Where to buy the MC68EN360AI33L-FR?
Authorized aftermarket distributors - Rochester Electronics LLC and Bettlink - stock the MC68EN360AI33L-FR in qty-1 to several-hundred quantities per the XAIPART pricing tiers. Independent brokers list the part on Octopart and FindIC for one-off evaluation, but these sources carry counterfeiting risk and should be qualified per AS6081 for production builds.
Is the MC68EN360AI33L-FR RoHS compliant?
The MC68EN360AI33L-FR is listed as RoHS compliant and lead-free per Freescale/NXP distributor listings, although it carries a 240-FQFP surface-mount package typical of pre-2010 M68k industrial parts. Engineers should confirm the exact lot date code with their supplier because some 1995-era stock may still be present in the channel pre-dating full RoHS conversion.
What Freescale cross-reference is closest to MC68EN360AI33L-FR?
The closest Freescale (now NXP) cross-reference to the MC68EN360AI33L-FR is the MC68360 family itself: the MC68EN360AI33L (non-FR), MC68EN360AI25L (25 MHz), and the original 5 V MC68360 at 25 MHz. All share the same 240-FQFP footprint and pinout. For a modern functional replacement NXP positions the PowerQUICC MPC8309 as the migration target.

Auswahlhilfe

Choose MC68EN360AI33L-FR when maintaining a legacy QUICC-based design where exact silicon revision and FQFP-240 footprint are pinned in your BOM, and your program is a long-life fielded service contract (telecom, energy, rail) where the part's EOL status is acceptable. If you must second-source and accept identical performance, the non-FR variant MC68EN360AI33L is the precise drop-in equivalent (100% parametric match). If your program tolerates lower clock throughput, MC68EN360AI25L at 25 MHz is a marginal-cost alternative (90% match). Avoid the MC68360AI25L for new Ethernet throughput requirements; the MC68EN360AI50L (95% match) is the faster cousin if available. For genuinely new designs, migrate to PowerQUICC MPC8309 or MCF5441x, accepting the PCB redesign and firmware port that such a move implies.

  • 5 V-tolerant for legacy telecom backplanes (vs. MPC8309CMAJDA)

Designhinweise

Estimated: The 240-FQFP package has a typical theta_JA of approximately 18-22 C/W on a 4-layer JEDEC test board with air flow at 1 m/s. At 33 MHz and 5 V the part dissipates approximately 1.2-1.6 W typical during full CPM operation including Ethernet MAC active. A 30 K margin to a 100 C ambient (industrial class) requires either forced-air cooling or thermal vias tying the die flag to an inner copper plane. Always measure the actual junction temperature with the on-chip thermal diode for safety margins in sealed-enclosure installations.

The 240-FQFP on 0.5 mm pitch demands 4-layer (at minimum) PCB stack-up with controlled impedance for the address/data bus traces. Place at least 8 decoupling capacitors (4x 100 nF X7R, 4x 10 uF tantalum or polymer) within 5 mm of the power and ground pins around the package perimeter. Bulk 47-100 uF polymer caps should sit on the 5 V plane adjacent to the part. Ethernet MII bus lines to the external PHY must be length-matched to within 50 mils and shielded with ground pours to meet 10BASE-T emission limits.

NXP flags MC68EN360AI33L as "End of Life / Not For New Designs" on the official product page. For long-life fielded programs verify stock availability with authorized aftermarket distributors such as Rochester Electronics LLC, who franchise the original Freescale die bank. For NEW designs consider migration to PowerQUICC derivatives (MPC8309, MPC8360) or ARM-based MCF5441x, noting these require PCB redesign, BSP bring-up, and firmware port beyond the CPU32+ instruction set.

The 33 MHz CPU32+ bus and CPM DMA traffic generate simultaneous switching noise (SSN) on the address/data bus. Add series damping resistors (22-33 ohm) on outputs driving long backplane traces, and keep bus lengths under 75 mm to avoid reflections. The DRAM clock output should be routed with matched trace impedance and bypassed at every DRAM chip select pin. The CPM SCC outputs to external transceivers should be AC-coupled if the transceiver uses a different ground reference (typical for telecom isolators).
