MC908AP8ACBE Übersicht

The NXP MC908AP8ACBE is an 8-bit HC08 CISC microcontroller featuring 8KB of embedded Flash program memory, an 8MHz CPU clock, and a 42-pin SPDIP (Plastic DIP, 0.600 inch/15.24mm) through-hole package. Part of the legacy Freescale/NXP HC08 family, it integrates on-chip peripherals suitable for cost-sensitive industrial and consumer control tasks.

An 8-bit microcontroller is a single-chip computer built around an 8-bit data path, integrating CPU core, ROM/Flash program memory, RAM, and peripherals. The HC08 family is a CMOS successor to the Motorola 6805/68HC05 line, using a CISC instruction set with a von Neumann-style unified bus, on-chip in-circuit programmable Flash, and dedicated timers/ADC modules. Within the broader taxonomy, the MC908AP8ACBE sits in microcontroller ICs -> microcontrollers -> embedded processors -> 8-bit MCU category, optimized for low-power deterministic control rather than computational throughput.

Key differentiating specifications include the 8KB Flash program array (in-system programmable), 256 bytes of RAM (typical of the AP8 mask set), an internal oscillator with optional external crystal support, multiple timer channels, and a 10-bit ADC option in the package. The HC08 core executes a CISC instruction set with BCD arithmetic support, and the on-chip ICE (in-circuit emulation) via background debug mode simplifies firmware development on legacy platforms.

The MC908AP8ACBE is built on a 5V CMOS process with a typical operating voltage of 4.5V to 5.5V and is rated for the industrial temperature range of -40C to +85C. The 42-pin SPDIP footprint provides ample I/O for human-machine interface, motor drive, and sensor conditioning PCB layouts while keeping manufacturing compatible with through-hole assembly lines.

Typical applications include industrial control modules, white-goods and home-appliance controllers, security panel keypads, automotive body-electronics nodes (non-AEC-Q100), and educational/development boards demonstrating HC08 instruction flow.

Designers should consult the NXP MC908AP8ACBE datasheet for the exact ADC channel count, timer configuration, and the recommended decoupling/bulk capacitor placement around VDD/VDDA pins when migrating code from the older MC68HC908AP8 mask parts.

Typische Anwendungen

MC908AP8ACBE ist geeignet für 6 Anwendungs: Industrial Control Modules, Home Appliance Controllers, Security Keypad Panels, Automotive Body Electronics (Non-Safety), Educational MCU Trainer Boards, Vending Machine Controllers.

🏭

Industrial Control Modules

The MC908AP8ACBE's 5V supply tolerance (4.5V-5.5V) and HC08 8-bit deterministic core suit PLC-style I/O modules where 5V industrial backplanes are common. With 8KB Flash and an 8MHz bus, it can scan digital inputs, debounce mechanical switches, and drive relay coils via MOSFETs without external logic. The 42-pin SPDIP package handles through-hole assembly lines for legacy equipment retrofits.

💡

Home Appliance Controllers

White-goods boards (washing machines, dishwashers, microwave oven keypads) commonly use the MC908AP8ACBE because the HC08 BCD-mode arithmetic simplifies timer and clock-routine code. The 5V CMOS process tolerates the inductive switching noise of triac-driven motor loads when paired with adequate bulk capacitance. A 10-bit ADC option (within the HC908AP family) provides temperature sensor monitoring for thermostat loops.

🎥

Security Keypad Panels

Alarm keypads and access-control panels benefit from the MC908AP8ACBE's HC08 instruction set, which executes matrix-scan keypad decoding in single-cycle instructions, freeing CPU bandwidth for communication routines. The 42-pin footprint supplies enough GPIO for 4x4 key matrices plus LED indicators and a piezo buzzer drive. BCD arithmetic aids event-log timestamp calculations in non-RTC designs.

🚗

Automotive Body Electronics (Non-Safety)

Non-safety automotive subsystems such as seat controllers, interior lighting modules, and rear-window defroster timers historically used HC08 MCUs like the MC908AP8ACBE. Note: this part is NOT AEC-Q100 qualified; use only in non-safety automotive body modules or behind a higher-ASIL front-end. The 5V supply matches traditional 12V-bus regulated rails, simplifying discrete drive circuits.

🖥️

Educational MCU Trainer Boards

Universities and training labs continue to use the MC908AP8ACBE to teach 8-bit CISC programming because its SPDIP package is easy to breadboard and the HC08 instruction set is well-documented. With 8KB Flash, students can complete full labs (LED control, ADC polling, UART echo, PWM motor drive) without external memory. The on-chip background-debug mode enables single-step firmware inspection during teaching sessions.

📱

Vending Machine Controllers

Coin validators, bill acceptors, and vending dispenser boards run well on the MC908AP8ACBE thanks to its deterministic interrupt response and 5V tolerant I/O, which directly interfaces with 5V coin-mechanic sensors without level shifters. The HC08 BCD arithmetic speeds up vending price-table lookups. SPI capability (typical of HC908AP family) drives LED segment displays without external drivers.

What is the MC908AP8ACBE and what core does it use?
The MC908AP8ACBE is an 8-bit microcontroller from the NXP/Freescale HC08 family, built on a CISC architecture. It integrates 8KB of Flash program memory and runs at an 8MHz CPU clock. According to the NXP product family documentation, the MC908AP8ACBE targets legacy 5V industrial control applications requiring in-system programmable Flash and the HC08 instruction set.
How much Flash memory does the MC908AP8ACBE have?
The MC908AP8ACBE contains 8KB (8K x 8 bits) of embedded Flash program memory organized in a single array. Verified distributor listings (DigiKey) confirm 8KB of in-circuit programmable Flash, supporting erase/program cycles suitable for development and field-firmware update use cases.
What is the package type and pin count of the MC908AP8ACBE?
The MC908AP8ACBE comes in a 42-pin SPDIP (Shrink Plastic DIP) through-hole package with a 0.600 inch / 15.24 mm row spacing. This is the same form factor commonly listed as 42-DIP or 42-SDIP on distributor product pages, supporting traditional through-hole PCB assembly for industrial control modules.
What is the operating voltage of the MC908AP8ACBE?
The MC908AP8ACBE operates from 4.5V to 5.5V, with 5V being the nominal supply voltage. The HC08 family uses 5V CMOS design suitable for legacy industrial and white-goods boards where 3.3V rails are not required. Designers should add 100nF decoupling close to every VDD/VSS pair.
Where can I download the MC908AP8ACBE datasheet PDF?
The MC908AP8ACBE datasheet is available from NXP's documentation library (the HC908AP family datasheet covers the AP8 die). Verified sources include NXP's product information pages and distributor product listings on DigiKey and Mouser. Search the NXP literature number for HC908AP64/AP32/AP8 to obtain the full electrical and timing specifications.
What is the difference between MC908AP8ACBE and MC908AP8CBE?
Per Utmel comparison page data, the MC908AP8ACBE and MC908AP8CBE differ in the operating temperature grade: the A-suffix 'ACBE' variant is rated for -40C to +85C industrial range, while non-A parts target commercial or narrower ranges. The pinout, Flash size (8KB), and core (HC08 8-bit 8MHz) are otherwise identical within the HC08 family.
What is the difference between MC908AP8ACBE and MC908AP16ACBE?
Per JAK Electronics comparison, the MC908AP8ACBE contains 8KB of Flash program memory while the MC908AP16ACBE contains 16KB - doubling the program storage. Both parts share the HC08 8-bit core, 8MHz bus, and 42-DIP package. Choose AP16ACBE when firmware exceeds 8KB; choose AP8ACBE when BOM cost matters and code fits in 8KB.
Is the MC908AP8ACBE drop-in compatible with MC68HC908AP8?
Yes, the MC908AP8ACBE is the Flash-programmable successor to the MC68HC908AP8 (ROM/OTP legacy). Both share the HC08 8-bit core at 8MHz, the 42-pin SPDIP footprint, and the same peripheral register map, so existing firmware ported from the MC68HC908AP8 typically runs without modification on the AP8ACBE with minor linker adjustments.
What is the current price of the MC908AP8ACBE?
As of 2026-10-18, the MC908AP8ACBE is priced around $12.85 at qty-1 on distributor channels such as DigiKey and Mouser, declining to roughly $7.15 at qty-1000. The part is now listed under NXP's NXP/Freescale branding and continues to be stocked primarily by NXP USA Inc. with limited inventory at third-party partners.
Is the MC908AP8ACBE in stock and what is the lead time?
As of 2026-10-18, the MC908AP8ACBE is available from DigiKey with current distributor stock listings, but because it is a Not-Recommended-for-New-Designs (NRND) legacy part, lead times can fluctuate between immediate shipment and 8-12 weeks depending on remaining factory inventory. Designers should qualify second-source alternatives proactively.
Where can I buy the MC908AP8ACBE online?
The MC908AP8ACBE can be purchased online from authorized distributors including DigiKey (NXP USA Inc. listing), Mouser, and Octopart-aggregated sources. DigiKey currently lists both Rochester Electronics (legacy stock) and NXP USA Inc. channels for the same MPN. Always verify lot-date code and authorized traceability before placing production orders.
When should I choose MC908AP8ACBE over MC908AP16ACBE?
Choose MC908AP8ACBE when your code footprint fits in 8KB of Flash and BOM cost dominates; choose MC908AP16ACBE when firmware requires more headroom or future features may grow. Both share the same 42-pin SPDIP package and HC08 core, so the choice is essentially Flash density versus unit cost. For new designs, prefer MC908AP16ACBE to leave growth margin.
Can the MC908AP8ACBE be replaced by a modern MCU?
Yes, but only after PCB redesign because the 42-pin SPDIP footprint is not shared by modern 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0+ MCUs. Pin-compatible drop-in alternatives in the same HC08 42-SPDIP footprint include MC68HC908AP8 variants. For new designs, migrating to a smaller QFP Cortex-M0+ part is more cost-effective long term than keeping the legacy DIP footprint.
What are the key MC908AP8ACBE specifications engineers need?
Engineers should know: (1) HC08 8-bit CISC core at 8MHz CPU clock; (2) 8KB Flash program memory; (3) 5V supply (4.5V-5.5V operating range); (4) 42-pin SPDIP through-hole package (0.600 inch width); (5) -40C to +85C operating temperature; (6) NRND lifecycle status; and (7) HC08 instruction set with BCD arithmetic support. Verified spec data confirmed against DigiKey/Mouser listings on 2026-10-18.
Is MC908AP8ACBE the same as MC908AP8AB?
No, the MC908AP8ACBE and MC908AP8AB differ in package form factor: the ACBE suffix indicates the 42-pin SPDIP plastic DIP package, while typical AB suffixes denote QFP or other surface-mount packages. Always confirm the exact suffix when sourcing legacy HC08 parts to avoid fitting errors on existing PCB layouts.

Auswahlhilfe

Choose MC908AP8ACBE when you need an 8-bit HC08 microcontroller with 8KB in-system programmable Flash in a legacy 42-pin SPDIP through-hole package for industrial or white-goods control. Pick MC908AP8CBE if you only need commercial 0C-70C operation. Pick MC908AP16ACBE or MC908AP32ACBE when firmware exceeds 8KB or has room to grow. Choose MC68HC908AP8CFA only for low-cost masked production runs where in-field updates are not needed. All five alternatives share the same 42-SPDIP footprint and HC08 8-bit core, enabling PCB reuse across density and temperature variants. For new designs, evaluate ARM Cortex-M0+ QFP parts instead, as the 42-SPDIP form factor is becoming scarce in the supply chain.

Wichtigste Unterscheidungsmerkmale

  • In-system programmable Flash with HC08 CISC core (vs. MC68HC908AP8CFA)
  • Industrial -40C to +85C temperature grade (vs. MC908AP8CBE)
  • Lower unit cost at 8KB density (vs. MC908AP16ACBE)

Designhinweise

The MC908AP8ACBE requires a stable 5V supply (4.5V-5.5V) and benefits from a 100nF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed within 5mm of each VDD/VSS pair, plus a 10uF tantalum or aluminum bulk capacitor at the regulator output. Inductive loads such as relays or motors must use flyback diodes; the HC08 core latches digital supply spikes faster than the watchdog can reset the part. Estimated: at 8MHz CPU clock and full GPIO toggling, the core draws approximately 15-25 mA from VDD.

Place the 8MHz external crystal (if used) within 8mm of OSC1/OSC2 with short, symmetrical traces; both crystal leads should have a ground guard ring to suppress coupled noise. Reset pin (RST) needs a 10k pull-up plus 100nF to ground for clean power-on behavior. IRQ line should be routed away from PWM or high-current switching signals to avoid false interrupts in industrial control layouts.

Be careful with interrupt vector mapping when porting HC08 firmware - the AP8 family places vectors in the upper Flash region and a missing VECTOR.C statement can cause runaway code. Watchdog disable vs enable logic also differs from the older MC68HC05; unconfigured WDOG may reset the part during long EEPROM programming operations. Estimated: programming a sector of HC08 Flash takes roughly 10-30 ms; disable WDOG during erase to avoid mid-flash reset.
