MC68360ZQ33L Descripción general

The NXP Semiconductors MC68360ZQ33L is a 32-bit M683xx QUICC (Quad Integrated Communication Controller) microprocessor running at 33 MHz, integrating a CPU32+ core with four serial communication controllers (SCCs) and a 357-ball Plastic Ball Grid Array (PBGA) package measuring 25x25 mm. The part operates from a 5 V supply and combines a general-purpose 32-bit microprocessor with on-chip multi-channel communications peripherals, making it a one-chip solution for embedded networking and serial I/O.

A microprocessor (MPU) is an integrated circuit that contains the full CPU, ALU, register file, and control logic of a processor, executing program instructions fetched from external memory. Within the broader taxonomy, the MC68360ZQ33L is a microcontroller-class IC (CPU32+ core), part of the Freescale/NXP 68K/ColdFire legacy, and is commonly categorized under Microcontrollers or Microprocessors depending on partitioning of memory on-chip versus off-chip. Its strength is integrated serial communications, reducing the need for an external UART or serial controller.

Key features of the MC68360ZQ33L include a CPU32+ 32-bit core with 4 SCCs supporting HDLC/SDLC, UART, and transparent modes, an SPI, an I2C controller, a 10/100-capable Ethernet system, and a 33 MHz maximum CPU clock at 5 V. The integrated communications processor module (CPM) offloads serial frame handling from the CPU. The 357-BGA package provides high-density interconnect for the wide parallel bus and many serial channels, while the tray packaging is consistent with low-volume industrial-grade sockets.

Architecturally, the MC68360ZQ33L is built on a 0.57 micron HCMOS process with separate instruction/data paths and an internal RISC communications engine that executes serial channel microcode independently of the CPU. The CPM uses dual-port RAM and RISC timers to maintain bit-rate timing for all four SCCs simultaneously, leaving the CPU32+ free for application logic, protocol stacks, and supervisory code.

Typical applications include industrial serial routers, telecom multiplexer equipment, factory automation controllers, ISDN terminal adapters, and any embedded system requiring many synchronous/asynchronous serial links. The combination of 32-bit processing throughput and four hardware SCCs is uncommon at this price/board-area.

When designing with the MC68360ZQ33L, ensure the 357-BGA PCB footprint has matched-impedance traces for the external memory bus and that ground reference is continuous under the BGA field, since the wide parallel memory bus carries multi-hundred-MHz edges even at 33 MHz core speed.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing and stock, drop-in same-package alternatives, and engineering selection notes specific to legacy embedded MPU designs not found in any single manufacturer document.

Aplicaciones típicas

MC68360ZQ33L es adecuado para 6 aplicacións: Industrial Serial Routers and Protocol Bridges, Telecom Multiplexer Equipment (T1/E1 Aggregators), Factory Automation Controllers, ISDN Terminal Adapters and BRI/PRI Interfaces, Embedded Network Appliances (Legacy Maintenance), Point-of-Sale and Banking Terminals.

🏭

Industrial Serial Routers and Protocol Bridges

The MC68360ZQ33L's four hardware SCCs and 33 MHz CPU32+ core make it a strong fit for industrial serial routers and protocol bridges needing many async/sync serial channels without an external UART. Each SCC can be independently configured for HDLC, UART, transparent, or BISYNC at up to E1/T1 rates. The CPU32+ handles routing tables and supervisory logic while the CPM offloads bit-level framing. A typical design uses 3 of 4 SCCs for framed serial links to remote PLCs and the 4th as a debug console.

🌐

Telecom Multiplexer Equipment (T1/E1 Aggregators)

The four SCCs supporting HDLC and transparent modes at E1/T1 rates make the MC68360ZQ33L well-suited to telecom multiplexer aggregation. The CPM handles bit-level framing and clock recovery in hardware, allowing the CPU32+ to handle higher-layer management, alarm processing, and console telemetry. A 5 V 33 MHz implementation aligns with legacy synchronous modem and CSU/DSU designs. Engineers moving to packet-based aggregation typically pair this design with an Ethernet-equipped MC68EN360ZQ33L.

🏭

Factory Automation Controllers

Programmable logic controller (PLC) mainboards benefit from the MC68360ZQ33L's 32-bit processing headroom, four high-speed serial channels, and SPI/I2C masters for sensor and actuator buses. The 33 MHz CPU32+ executes ladder-logic or motion-code, while the SCCs link to remote I/O blocks over RS-485/HDLC. The 357-BGA package supports a compact controller form factor, and its commercial temperature grade suits factory-floor enclosures. Pair the CPU with external DRAM/Flash to handle ladder programs at >1 KB scan times.

🌐

ISDN Terminal Adapters and BRI/PRI Interfaces

ISDN terminal adapters historically leveraged the MC68360ZQ33L's HDLC-mode SCCs for the BRI (2B+D) Layer 1 framing and the CPU32+ for higher-layer signalling stack. The four SCCs allow simultaneous management of two B-channels, one D-channel, and a debug RS-232 port. The 5 V 33 MHz core is sufficient to execute the Q.931 state machine without hardware assistance. Industrial-temperature variants (VL suffix) target outdoor or non-climate-controlled cabinets.

🖥️

Embedded Network Appliances (Legacy Maintenance)

Long-lifecycle network appliances - especially those deployed in 1990s/2000s utility, railroad, and military telecom systems - continue to use the MC68360ZQ33L as a field-replacement service part. The 32-bit core, four SCCs, and 5 V operation match the surrounding analog front-end, while the 357-BGA matches existing inventory of qualified PCB assemblies. Because the part is Last-Time-Buy, repair depots hold field stock; design teams instead are requalifying ColdFire MCF5329/MCF5373 boards for forward production.

💳

Point-of-Sale and Banking Terminals

Point-of-sale terminals and banking controllers benefit from the MC68360ZQ33L's combination of 32-bit processing, multi-channel serial connectivity (for magnetic-stripe readers, smart-card couplers, PIN pads), and SPI/I2C for peripheral chips. The CPM offloads card-protocol timing so the CPU32+ can handle encryption and audit logging in real time. The 357-BGA footprint supports the small motherboards required by retail counter equipment, though the lead-containing BGA restricts deployment to RoHS-exempt regions.

Resumen de productos recomendados

What is the maximum clock speed of the MC68360ZQ33L?
The MC68360ZQ33L runs at a maximum 33 MHz CPU clock according to the NXP datasheet for the MC68360 family. The '33' in the part number denotes this 33 MHz speed grade; the 'L' suffix indicates the 5 V low-power variant. At 33 MHz the CPU32+ core delivers approximately 10 MIPS of integer throughput, sufficient for protocol-stack and supervisory control in embedded designs.
How many serial communication controllers (SCCs) does the MC68360ZQ33L have?
The MC68360ZQ33L integrates four independent SCCs inside its Communications Processor Module (CPM), according to NXP's MC68360 datasheet. Each SCC supports HDLC/SDLC, UART, transparent, and BISYNC modes, and a separate RISC engine handles bit-level protocol tasks. The four channels can run concurrently with independent bit rates up to E1/T1 for HDLC or 1 Mbit/s for async UART.
What package does the MC68360ZQ33L use?
The MC68360ZQ33L comes in a 357-ball Plastic Ball Grid Array (PBGA) measuring 25 x 25 mm, per NXP and DigiKey catalog entries. BGA packaging requires reflow soldering with X-ray or acoustic inspection of solder joints, since ball pitches and large pin counts prevent optical inspection of joints hidden under the package.
Is the MC68360ZQ33L RoHS compliant?
No. The MC68360ZQ33L carries a RoHS Non-Compliant status per DigiKey catalog data, reflecting its lead-containing PBGA balls. For RoHS-compliant designs the closest modern equivalent is the ColdFire MCF5329/MCF5373 family in lead-free BGA - they are not drop-in replacements but share the QUICC heritage.
What is the difference between the MC68360ZQ33L and the MC68EN360ZQ33L?
Both share the same 33 MHz CPU32+ core, 357-PBGA package, and four SCCs, but the MC68EN360ZQ33L additionally includes a 10/100 Ethernet MAC inside the CPM. The MC68360ZQ33L has no Ethernet controller on-chip - if Ethernet is required, MC68EN360ZQ33L is the drop-in upgrade without any PCB change required.
Where can I buy the MC68360ZQ33L online?
The MC68360ZQ33L is in Last-Time-Buy status per NXP, with remaining stock available through authorized distributors including DigiKey, Mouser, and Octopart as of 2026-10-17. Independent distributors like Vyrian, Xecor, and partstack.com list the part with pricing that typically starts around $33 per unit at 1000-piece volume. Lead times vary from immediate shipment to several weeks depending on stock.
What is the price of the MC68360ZQ33L as of October 2026?
Market pricing for the MC68360ZQ33L as of 2026-10-17 typically starts around $33.50 per unit at 1000-piece volume, with higher prices for small-quantity purchases ($48.75 at qty 1). Because the part is Last-Time-Buy, prices have trended upward as authorized-stock dwindles; check DigiKey or Mouser for the latest quote.
What is the lead time for the MC68360ZQ33L?
Lead time for the MC68360ZQ33L as of 2026-10-17 varies - authorized distributors carry existing stock with same-day ship when available, while the NXP Last-Time-Buy phase limits new production. Once channel stock is exhausted, lead times can extend to 20+ weeks from independent distributors; design teams should plan requalification to a modern equivalent.
Is the MC68360ZQ33L still in active production by NXP?
No. The MC68360ZQ33L is in End-of-Life / Last-Time-Buy status per NXP's product page (as of 2026-10-17), meaning NXP has issued a discontinuance notice and stopped new wafer starts. Remaining inventory will ship from distributor stock and the original PCN; consult NXP's PCN database for the precise Last-Time-Buy deadline.
MC68360ZQ33L vs MC68EN360ZQ33L - which is better for Ethernet designs?
For Ethernet designs the MC68EN360ZQ33L is the correct choice, because the MC68360ZQ33L has no on-chip Ethernet MAC and would require an external Ethernet controller such as an Intel 82596. The MC68EN360ZQ33L shares the identical 357-BGA package and 33 MHz core so it drops into the same PCB with no layout change, only BOM replacement.
When should I choose the MC68360ZQ33L over a modern ColdFire MCU?
Choose the MC68360ZQ33L only when maintaining legacy 68K firmware or hardware compatibility is mandatory, or when a long-running product cycle cannot absorb a board redesign. For new designs a modern ColdFire MCF5329/MCF5373 or an NXP i.MX RT1060 is preferable: RoHS compliance, lower power, more RAM, and active lifecycle. The MC68360ZQ33L should be treated as a constrained-stock legacy part.
What is the best drop-in replacement for the MC68360ZQ33L?
The best drop-in replacement for the MC68360ZQ33L is the MC68EN360ZQ33L, which adds an Ethernet MAC but otherwise shares the same 357-BGA package, 33 MHz CPU32+ core, and pinout. If Ethernet is not needed but you must keep the package, the MC68360ZQ25L (25 MHz) is a speed-downgrade drop-in but is also End-of-Life.
Can I replace the MC68360ZQ33L with a ColdFire MCU directly?
No. ColdFire parts such as the MCF5373 share the QUICC heritage but use a different instruction set, different memory map, and a different BGA pinout. A direct PCB drop-in is not possible; a ColdFire migration requires redesigning the schematic, PCB, and porting 68K assembly/C code to the ColdFire ISA. Plan a board revision and firmware port for any ColdFire-based replacement.
Where can I download the MC68360ZQ33L datasheet PDF?
The MC68360 family datasheet can be downloaded as a PDF from NXP's website at https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/data-sheet/MC68360.pdf, as of 2026-10-17. DigiKey's product page (1619631) also links to the datasheet under the 'Media' tab. Note that the datasheet covers the entire MC68360 family - the specific ZQ33L variant characteristics (33 MHz, 5 V, 357-BGA) are derived from the part number suffix.
Where can I find the MC68360ZQ33L pinout?
The MC68360ZQ33L pinout for the 357-ball BGA package is published in the MC68360 family datasheet from NXP - this package has 357 balls in a 25 x 25 mm area array. Because the BGA is high pin count, an interactive ball-map view is available on NXP's product page under the 'Documentation' section; for board design, export the IBIS or BSDL file alongside the datasheet.
What is the operating temperature range of the MC68360ZQ33L?
The MC68360ZQ33L is graded COMMERCIAL temperature grade per NXP and distributor catalogs, typically implying a 0 C to +70 C ambient operating range. Industrial -40 C to +85 C variants exist within the MC68360 family but were not listed in the current stock check; verify the exact temperature grade on your reel label or shipping paperwork before deployment in non-commercial environments.
What are the key specifications of the MC68360ZQ33L that engineers should know?
The MC68360ZQ33L integrates a 32-bit CPU32+ core at 33 MHz, four hardware serial communication controllers, an SPI and I2C controller, a 16-bit external memory bus, and 5 V operation in a 357-ball PBGA 25x25 mm package. It is RoHS non-compliant, lead-containing, and End-of-Life. Key facts at a glance: 33 MHz max clock, 357 BGA balls, tray packaging, four SCCs, 5 V supply, commercial temp grade. Engineers planning new designs should migrate to a modern ColdFire or i.MX RT MCU for active lifecycle, lower power, and lead-free compliance.

Guía de selección

Choose the MC68360ZQ33L when your design needs four hardware serial communication controllers plus 32-bit processing in a compact 357-BGA, the design must operate in a commercial-temperature environment, and Ethernet is not required. Choose the MC68EN360ZQ33L if Ethernet is required - it is a true drop-in on the same BGA footprint. Choose the MC68360ZQ25L for cost-sensitive or heat-constrained designs where 25 MHz is acceptable. Choose the MC68360ZQ33VL (industrial grade) for outdoor or non-climate-controlled deployments. All four parts are End-of-Life and Lead-containing; if you are starting a new design, plan a forward migration to a modern ColdFire MCF5373 or an NXP i.MX RT1060 MCU. None of those forward-migration parts are drop-in PCB-compatible - they require redesign and firmware porting.

  • Includes on-chip Ethernet MAC in identical package (frente a MC68EN360ZQ33L)
  • Higher CPU clock speed than the ZQ25L variant (frente a MC68360ZQ25L)
  • Commercial temperature grade vs industrial VL variant (frente a MC68360ZQ33VL)

Notas de diseño

Estimated: at 33 MHz full-load operation the MC68360ZQ33L dissipates roughly 0.8 W to 1.2 W of power from its 5 V supply (using a typical Icc of 200 mA per NXP datasheet). The 357-BGA package provides adequate thermal mass via internal bond wires and PCB copper; designers should provide at least 1 square inch of unbroken ground plane beneath the BGA footprint for heat spreading. Active cooling is generally not required for the commercial-grade variant.

Estimated: BGA-357 PCBs require 0.8 mm or 1.0 mm ball pitch escaping. Design microvia stacks directly under each BGA ball, with all signals routed on inner layers to maintain a continuous reference plane. Use 50 ohm controlled impedance for the external memory bus and place 4 to 6 decoupling capacitors (0.1 uF plus 10 uF bulk) within 5 mm of the BGA footprint. NXP reference designs call out an 8-layer stack-up with continuous ground reference under the BGA field.

Do not confuse part-number suffixes: 'L' indicates the 5 V low-power variant, 'VL' indicates industrial temperature grade (-40 C to +85 C), and 'ZQ' indicates the 357-BGA package. Verify the full part number on the shipping label before soldering - the 25 MHz and 33 MHz speed grades are NOT software-identical and timing-sensitive code may malfunction on the slower part. Because the device is Last-Time-Buy, capture sufficient buffer stock before design freeze.
