MC68HC908GT16CB Descripción general

The NXP (formerly Freescale) MC68HC908GT16CB is an 8-bit HC08-family microcontroller with 16KB of FLASH program memory, an 8 MHz internal bus clock, and a 42-pin PDIP through-hole package, designed for cost-sensitive embedded control applications. It integrates a 16-channel 10-bit ADC, multiple timers, and standard serial communication peripherals in a single CMOS device, making it suitable for automotive body electronics, appliance control, and industrial monitoring.

A microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer that contains a processor core, program memory, data memory, and peripheral interfaces on one integrated circuit. The HC08 family is an 8-bit CMOS architecture descended from the original Motorola 6800, offering a low-cost, high-performance upgrade path for legacy 68HC05 designs. The MC68HC908GT16CB belongs to the GT series, which is optimized for general-purpose embedded control with an integrated 10-bit ADC for analog signal acquisition.

Key features include 16KB of on-chip FLASH for program storage, 512 bytes of RAM for data, a 16-channel 10-bit analog-to-digital converter, a serial communications interface (SCI), a serial peripheral interface (SPI), and a 6-channel timer interface. The device operates from a single 3V to 5.5V supply, supports a maximum internal bus frequency of 8 MHz (equivalent to 8 MIPS), and includes a low-voltage inhibit (LVI) module for brown-out protection. An on-chip in-circuit programmable FLASH allows firmware updates without removing the device from the board.

Architecturally, the MC68HC908GT16CB uses the HC08 CPU core with a 16-bit stack pointer, 16-bit index register, and an 8-bit accumulator-based programming model. The integrated analog multiplexer routes up to 16 external channels into the 10-bit successive-approximation ADC, supporting ratiometric measurements when the supply is used as the reference. FLASH memory is organized in pages and supports both in-circuit programming and security-locked modes for IP protection.

Typical applications include HVAC control modules, appliance user interfaces (washing machines, microwaves), automotive body controllers (window lift, seat control), security alarm panels, and battery-powered sensor readers. The 16-channel ADC and 8 MHz bus speed strike a balance between analog measurement capability and deterministic control-loop performance for these mid-tier embedded systems.

When designing with this part, ensure the oscillator and reset circuits follow the datasheet recommended layout. The device's 42-pin PDIP footprint simplifies breadboarding and hand-soldered prototypes. Watch for the minimum VDD ramp time for proper FLASH programming and verify the LVI threshold matches your supply tolerance for reliable brown-out behavior.

Aplicaciones típicas

MC68HC908GT16CB es adecuado para 7 aplicacións: HVAC Climate Control Modules, Home Appliance User Interfaces, Automotive Body Controllers, Security Alarm Panels, Industrial Sensor Readers, Battery-Powered Data Loggers, Educational Embedded Training Kits.

🏭

HVAC Climate Control Modules

The MC68HC908GT16CB fits HVAC control modules because its 16-channel 10-bit ADC can read multiple thermistor inputs (supply-air, return-air, ambient, coil, and discharge sensors) simultaneously, while the 6-channel TPM timer drives TRIAC-based fan and damper actuators. With 16 KB of FLASH it holds scheduling firmware for multi-zone setpoint logic and the SCI port drives a remote wall-thermostat or Modbus display. Operating from 3 V to 5.5 V at industrial temperatures, it powers directly from a 5 V rectified rail; unlike a Cortex-M0, it costs less per unit and has decades of proven HC08 firmware support, though it lacks modern security features.

🔧

Home Appliance User Interfaces

Washing machines, dishwashers, and microwave ovens benefit from the MC68HC908GT16CB's 16 KB FLASH (enough for cycle state machines, beep libraries, and LCD segment drivers) and its 8 MHz 8-bit HC08 throughput, which executes each FSM transition in tens of nanoseconds. The 16-channel ADC reads water-level, turbidity, and motor-current sensors; the SCI port talks to inverter boards; and the SPI port drives LED or VFD displays. Unlike 32-bit Cortex-M0 designs, it requires no firmware library licensing and draws only a few mA active, lowering BOM cost in price-sensitive appliances.

🚗

Automotive Body Controllers

The MC68HC908GT16CB historically powered window-lift, seat-control, mirror-fold, and door-lock body modules because its 16-channel ADC reads LIN-bus analog sensors and its 6-channel TPM timer generates PWM for mirror and seat motors. With 16 KB FLASH it stores VIN-keyed calibration; the SCI port interfaces to the body control module over UART or LIN. Operating from 3 V to 5.5 V with industrial temperature tolerance, it survives engine-bay thermal stress on non-AEC-Q100 body locations; for AEC-Q100 under-hood designs, migrate to the S12 or S32K families instead.

🎥

Security Alarm Panels

The MC68HC908GT16CB suits security alarm panels where its 16-channel 10-bit ADC reads multiple PIR motion, glass-break, smoke, and door-magnetic sensors, while 16 KB FLASH holds partition logic and event logs. The SCI port interfaces with GSM or Ethernet alarm communicators; the SPI port drives keypad scan matrices or RFID readers. Unlike 32-bit MCUs, it boots in milliseconds from a single 5 V rail with no external watchdog needed; the on-chip LVI module guards against brown-out during power-loss events typical of alarm backup-battery transitions.

🏭

Industrial Sensor Readers

Industrial 4-20 mA loop-powered transmitters and RTD/thermocouple readers use the MC68HC908GT16CB's 10-bit ADC and 8 MHz HC08 core to digitize analog sensor signals at low cost. The 16 KB FLASH holds calibration tables, linearization routines, and HART or Modbus protocol stacks on the SCI port; the SPI port drives an external DAC for 4-20 mA loop output. Operating from 3 V to 5.5 V, it powers directly from loop supplies or 24 V industrial rails; unlike 32-bit MCUs, the HC08's deterministic interrupt latency simplifies IEC 61508 SIL2 firmware development.

🔋

Battery-Powered Data Loggers

Low-cost battery-powered data loggers benefit from the MC68HC908GT16CB's HC08 core, which enters a sub-mA wait mode between ADC conversions to extend battery life. The 16-channel ADC reads thermistor, voltage, and current sensors; 16 KB FLASH stores timestamped log records; the SCI port forwards data to a host over UART or Bluetooth bridge. Operating from 3 V to 5.5 V, it runs from two AA cells or a single Li-ion; unlike 32-bit Cortex-M0 designs, it requires no RTOS, lowering both BOM cost and firmware complexity for simple logging applications.

🧩

Educational Embedded Training Kits

Universities and embedded-systems training programs use the MC68HC908GT16CB in 42-PDIP because its DIP form factor accepts breadboard and through-hole sockets, simplifying student labs. With 16 KB FLASH, students can program in-circuit and re-flash without chip removal; the 16-channel ADC, SCI, and SPI expose all major peripherals for hands-on learning. The HC08 assembly instruction set teaches fundamentals; unlike modern Cortex-M0 kits, the MC68HC908GT16CB has decades of tutorial material and is widely available on the secondary market as an obsolete but inexpensive 8-bit learning platform.

Guía de selección

Choose the MC68HC908GT16CB when you need an 8-bit HC08 MCU with 16 KB FLASH in a 42-pin PDIP form factor for through-hole prototypes or low-volume production of legacy systems. Choose the MC68HC908GT8CB if your firmware fits within 8 KB and you want lower cost per unit on the same 42-PDIP footprint. Choose the MC68HC908GT16CFB for surface-mount production in 44-QFP, or the CBE slim-DIP variant for tighter enclosures. Choose the MC68HC08GT16CB only for fully validated designs where you can mask-ROM the firmware at fabrication - it is not field-updateable. For AEC-Q100 automotive applications, evaluate the CFA variant or migrate to a modern S12/S32K. For new designs, evaluate S08 (MC9S08) or Cortex-M0 MCUs instead of investing in an obsolete HC08 design.

  • FLASH for in-circuit updates (frente a MC68HC08GT16CB)

Notas de diseño

The 42-PDIP package simplifies breadboard prototypes but requires through-hole plating and larger PCB area than the equivalent 44-QFP. Place VDD bypass capacitors (100 nF ceramic plus 10 uF tantalum) within 5 mm of pins 10 (VDD) and 11 (VSS), and route the analog AVdd/AVss pair separately from digital VDD/VSS to keep ADC readings clean; per the Freescale MC68HC908GT16 Rev. 5.0 data sheet section on analog supply layout.

The MC68HC908GT16CB is obsolete and may only be sourced through independent distributors and aftermarket brokers; verify lot date codes and avoid parts without traceability. For new designs, evaluate the MC9S08GB60A or S08QE128 for a modern HC/S08 migration path with active production status, rather than designing in an obsolete part that may become unavailable mid-product life cycle.

Estimated: at VDD = 5 V and active current of approximately 15 mA (typical for HC08 at 8 MHz), the MCU dissipates about 75 mW. In wait mode current drops to under 2 mA, allowing battery-backed designs to budget for 1-2 mA average draw. Always include the LVI module in firmware to trigger a clean reset when VDD falls below the 3 V threshold, preventing FLASH corruption during brown-out conditions per the Freescale data sheet.
