MC9S08SE4CRL Descripción general

The NXP (Freescale Semiconductor) MC9S08SE4CRL is a cost-effective 8-bit microcontroller unit based on the high-performance HCS08 (S08) core, running at 20 MHz CPU frequency (10 MHz internal bus), with 4 KB (4K x 8) of FLASH program memory, housed in a 28-pin PDIP package (0.600 inch / 15.24 mm width).

An 8-bit microcontroller is a single-chip computer that integrates a processor core, program memory, data memory, and peripherals on one die, positioned within the broader hierarchy of embedded processors: MCU -> microcontroller -> embedded processor -> semiconductor device. The S08 family succeeds the HC08 family, providing excellent compatibility with Freescale's 5V MCU portfolio, including pin, peripheral, and tool compatibility, which simplifies migration between family members.

Key features of the MC9S08SE4CRL include the 20 MHz HCS08 central processing unit (CPU) with HC08 assembly source compatibility, 4 KB of in-circuit reprogrammable FLASH memory, operation from both 3.3V and 5V supplies (per distributor parametric data), and a low-cost entry point for high-volume designs. The S08SE series integrates typical S08 peripherals such as timers, serial communication interfaces, and ADC channels - consult the manufacturer datasheet for the exact peripheral configuration of this memory-density variant.

Architecture-wise, the HCS08 core uses a CISC instruction set with upward-compatible HC08 object code, a background debug module (BDM) for non-intrusive on-chip debugging, and internal bus operation at half the CPU clock rate, delivering deterministic 8-bit real-time performance suitable for cost-sensitive control tasks.

Typical applications include small home appliances, low-cost consumer electronics, battery chargers, simple motor control, industrial sensors, and legacy 5V system replacements where HC08 compatibility and PDIP through-hole mounting are required for prototyping and low-volume production.

For design, note that the PDIP package eases hand assembly and rework on 2.54 mm pitch prototyping boards; verify supply-voltage-dependent parameter limits in the datasheet when running at 3.3V versus 5V.

Aplicaciones típicas

MC9S08SE4CRL es adecuado para 6 aplicacións: Small Home Appliance Control, Battery Charger Control, Legacy 5V Industrial Board Replacement, Simple Motor Control, Embedded Education and Prototyping, Low-Cost Industrial Sensor Node.

💡

Small Home Appliance Control

The MC9S08SE4CRL fits small appliance control boards such as kettles, fans, and coffee makers where a simple state machine, button scanning, and relay or LED driving are the main tasks. Its 20 MHz HCS08 core executes deterministic 8-bit control loops, while the 4 KB FLASH accommodates compact firmware for timing, temperature thresholds, and user interfaces. The 5V-capable I/O drives relays and indicator LEDs without level shifting, and the through-hole 28-pin PDIP package simplifies hand assembly and rework in low-volume production. Designers should budget flash carefully, as 4 KB constrains complex menus or multi-language strings; the pin-compatible MC9S08SE8CRL doubles memory on the same footprint if firmware grows.

⚡

Battery Charger Control

In low-cost battery chargers, the MC9S08SE4CRL supervises charge phases by reading an ADC channel, driving a PWM output, and terminating charge on timeout or threshold. The S08SE family's integrated timers and serial interface (consult the datasheet for the exact peripheral configuration of this variant) eliminate external controller logic, keeping the bill of materials minimal. Operating from a 5V supply allows direct interfacing with common charger front-ends, and 3.3V operation supports lower-voltage designs. Because charger firmware is typically under 4 KB, the SE4's memory is usually sufficient; the background debug mode (BDM) port enables in-circuit tuning of charge parameters during development without removing the device from the board.

🏭

Legacy 5V Industrial Board Replacement

The S08SE family was designed by Freescale for excellent compatibility with its 5V MCU portfolio, including pin, peripheral, and tool compatibility, making the MC9S08SE4CRL a natural successor for boards originally built around HC08 devices. Existing HC08 assembly or C code ports with minimal modification thanks to HC08 object-code compatibility, and the same 28-pin PDIP footprint allows rework onto existing through-hole PCBs. Maintenance engineers repairing aging industrial controllers benefit from the 5V-tolerant I/O that interfaces directly with legacy logic and from BDM-based flashing during field updates. Verify end-of-life sourcing through Rochester Electronics or Flip Electronics, which stock this part as of 2026-10-18.

🔧

Simple Motor Control

For small DC or stepper motor applications - fans, pumps, actuator drives - the MC9S08SE4CRL provides timer channels capable of PWM generation and a fast 20 MHz core for closed-loop speed or position control. The 4 KB FLASH is adequate for basic PID or ramp profiles, and deterministic 8-bit execution at a 10 MHz internal bus gives predictable interrupt latency for commutation tasks. The PDIP package's 2.54 mm pitch eases prototyping of driver stages on the same breadboard-friendly layout. Ensure adequate decoupling near the MCU supply pins because motor switching noise couples into the ADC reference; the S08SE datasheet's power management chapter details recommended bypassing for noisy loads.

🧩

Embedded Education and Prototyping

The 28-pin PDIP package with 2.54 mm pin pitch makes the MC9S08SE4CRL ideal for teaching 8-bit embedded programming: it plugs into breadboards and socketed training boards, tolerates repeated insertion cycles, and can be replaced cheaply when damaged. The HC08-compatible instruction set provides a gentle, well-documented assembly learning curve, while the on-chip background debug module (BDM) allows non-intrusive debugging with inexpensive legacy Freescale probes and CodeWarrior. The 3.3V/5V dual-supply capability lets students explore both modern and legacy logic levels. The 4 KB FLASH is intentionally small, encouraging efficient code - a valuable pedagogical constraint - with the SE8 variant available for projects that outgrow it.

🏭

Low-Cost Industrial Sensor Node

In simple sensor front-end nodes - temperature, presence, limit switches - the MC9S08SE4CRL digitizes analog inputs, applies threshold or averaging logic, and reports over a serial interface using the S08SE family's on-chip communication peripherals. Its 5V operation matches many industrial sensors' output ranges directly, and the 20 MHz core handles filtering with ample margin. The 4 KB FLASH suits fixed-function firmware, and low cost supports deployment across large installed bases. Because the part is end-of-life, design the socket footprint to accept both the SE4 and the pin-compatible SE8CRL so future service replacements can adopt the higher-memory variant without PCB changes; both share identical pinout and supply requirements per the S08SE datasheet.

Resumen de productos recomendados

What is the MC9S08SE4CRL microcontroller?
The MC9S08SE4CRL is an 8-bit microcontroller from NXP (originally Freescale Semiconductor) in the S08SE series. It features an HCS08 CPU running at 20 MHz (10 MHz internal bus), 4 KB (4K x 8) of FLASH program memory, and comes in a 28-pin PDIP through-hole package measuring 0.600 inch (15.24 mm) wide. According to the manufacturer datasheet, it belongs to the cost-effective, high-performance S08 family with HC08 compatibility.
What is the price of MC9S08SE4CRL?
The MC9S08SE4CRL is one of the lowest-cost S08 MCUs on the market. LCSC listed it at approximately $0.6558 per unit for single-piece quantity as of 2026-10-18, with unit pricing typically dropping further at 100-piece and 1,000-piece quantities. Because the part is end-of-life at the authorized channel, pricing varies by remaining distributor stock, so comparing Octopart-listed distributors before ordering is recommended.
Where to buy MC9S08SE4CRL online?
The MC9S08SE4CRL can be purchased online from DigiKey (offered via Rochester Electronics and Flip Electronics as aftermarket/lifecycle sources), Mouser (listed under NXP Semiconductors), LCSC (in stock, from $0.6558), and Hotenda. According to Octopart, 4 distributors currently carry the part as of 2026-10-18. Since the original Freescale/NXP authorized production has ended, aftermarket suppliers such as Rochester Electronics are the primary long-term sourcing channel.
Is MC9S08SE4CRL still in production?
The MC9S08SE4CRL is an end-of-life (EOL) part at the original manufacturer channel. NXP ended active production of the legacy Freescale S08SE PDIP variants, and availability now comes from authorized aftermarket and excess-inventory sources such as Rochester Electronics LLC and Flip Electronics, both of which list it on DigiKey as of 2026-10-18. New designs should evaluate currently active S08 or Kinetis family parts; existing designs can continue sourcing through the aftermarket channel.
What is the difference between MC9S08SE4CRL and MC9S08SE8CRL?
The primary difference is FLASH program memory size: the MC9S08SE4CRL provides 4 KB (4K x 8) of FLASH, while the MC9S08SE8CRL provides 8 KB, double the capacity. Both use the same S08 core at 20 MHz, share the same peripheral set and pinout in the 28-pin PDIP package, and are software-compatible within available memory. This makes the SE8 a pin-to-pin drop-in upgrade when firmware outgrows 4 KB, and the SE4 a drop-in cost reduction when the opposite is true.
What is the best drop-in replacement for MC9S08SE4CRL?
The best drop-in replacement is the MC9S08SE8CRL, a same-family S08SE variant with 8 KB FLASH instead of 4 KB in the identical 28-pin PDIP package with the same pinout. Because it is pin-to-pin and register-compatible, no PCB or schematic changes are needed - only firmware link adjustments if the larger memory is used. When the SE4 is unavailable through aftermarket channels, the SE8CRL is the safest same-footprint substitution; verify pinout against the S08SE family datasheet before production release.
What can replace MC9S08SE4CRL?
For a true pin-compatible replacement, the MC9S08SE8CRL is the closest option, offering the same 28-pin PDIP footprint, 20 MHz S08 core, and peripherals with 8 KB FLASH. For new designs rather than drop-in replacement, NXP recommends evaluating newer S08 families (such as S08P or S08PT) or ARM Cortex-M0+ based MCUs that offer active lifecycle status and better availability. Cross-brand replacements were not found in verified cross-reference data as of 2026-10-18; use a parametric cross-reference tool to confirm any third-party candidate.
MC9S08SE4CRL vs MC9S08SE8CRL - which is better for low-cost designs?
For the absolute lowest cost, the MC9S08SE4CRL wins when firmware fits in 4 KB FLASH, since lower memory density typically prices slightly below the SE8. The MC9S08SE8CRL is better when headroom matters: it doubles FLASH to 8 KB at minimal price premium and guarantees a drop-in path if code grows. Both share the identical 28-pin PDIP package, 20 MHz S08 CPU, and 5V/3.3V operation, so either can be designed in with the same board layout.
Is there an STMicroelectronics or Microchip equivalent for MC9S08SE4CRL?
No verified pin-to-pin cross-brand equivalent was found in the cross-reference data reviewed as of 2026-10-18. Functionally comparable 8-bit MCUs from Microchip (PIC16 family, PDIP-28) or STMicroelectronics (STM8S family) offer similar flash sizes and peripheral sets, but their pinouts differ from the S08SE, requiring PCB redesign. The only true drop-in alternative remains the same-family MC9S08SE8CRL. Always validate any functional equivalent against the S08SE datasheet pinout and electrical parameters before committing to a redesign.
Where can I download the MC9S08SE4CRL datasheet PDF?
The MC9S08SE4CRL datasheet PDF (file size approximately 2487 KB, published 2006-03-02 per FindIC) is available through aggregator sites such as digchip.com and datasheets.com, and through distributor product pages on DigiKey, Mouser, LCSC, and Hotenda. The document is titled 'Freescale Semiconductor MC9S08SE 8-bit high-performance microcontroller family - Technical Data' and covers the full S08SE series. NXP's website also hosts legacy S08SE documentation under its product archive.
Where can I find the MC9S08SE4CRL pinout for the 28-pin PDIP package?
The complete MC9S08SE4CRL pinout for the 28-pin PDIP (0.600 inch, 15.24 mm) package is provided in the pin assignments and package chapters of the S08SE Technical Data datasheet, downloadable from digchip.com, datasheets.com, or NXP's legacy product archive. The datasheet includes pin-by-pin function tables covering power, oscillator, BDM, reset, and general-purpose I/O signals. Always verify pin assignments against this official document, as family variants in QFN or TSSOP packages use different pin maps.
What are the key specifications of MC9S08SE4CRL engineers should know?
The essential specifications are: 8-bit HCS08 CISC core at 20 MHz CPU / 10 MHz internal bus clock, 4 KB (4K x 8) FLASH program memory, operation from 3.3V or 5V supplies, and a 28-pin PDIP through-hole package 0.600 inch (15.24 mm) wide with 2.54 mm pin pitch. It is HC08 object-code compatible, includes background debug mode (BDM), and is supplied in tubes. According to distributor parametric data (updated April 2024), it is categorized as a low-cost 8-bit MCU in the S08SE series.
Is MC9S08SE4CRL suitable for 5V industrial systems?
Yes, the MC9S08SE4CRL is designed for 5V operation - Mouser categorizes it as a 'LO COST 8 BIT 5V MCU', and the S08SE family provides compatibility with Freescale's 5V MCU portfolio. It also supports 3.3V operation per distributor parametric data, giving dual-supply flexibility. For industrial 5V environments, the wide PDIP package simplifies prototyping and field repair, but confirm the exact supply-dependent electrical limits (VDD range, I/O drive, ADC reference) in the S08SE datasheet for your operating condition.
What tools are used to program and debug the MC9S08SE4CRL?
The MC9S08SE4CRL is programmed and debugged through the on-chip Background Debug Mode (BDM) interface using legacy Freescale/NXP tools such as the USB Multilink (P&E Micro) with CodeWarrior for Microcontrollers (Eclipse IDE). Because the S08SE family was explicitly designed for compatibility with Freescale's earlier 5V MCU portfolio - including tool compatibility per the datasheet - HC08-era programmers and debug probes generally support it. Flash programming can also be performed in-circuit via a bootloader, leveraging the in-circuit reprogrammable FLASH architecture.
What are typical applications for the MC9S08SE4CRL?
The MC9S08SE4CRL targets cost-sensitive embedded control: small home appliances, battery chargers, simple motor control, sensor interfaces, consumer electronics, and replacement of legacy HC08 designs in existing industrial boards. Its 4 KB FLASH and 20 MHz S08 core suit small deterministic control loops, while the 5V-capable I/O interfaces directly with legacy 5V logic. The through-hole 28-pin PDIP package makes it especially popular for prototyping, education, and low-volume repair/retrofit of equipment originally built around DIP microcontrollers.

Guía de selección

Choose the MC9S08SE4CRL when you must maintain an existing S08SE-based board, need the lowest-cost 4 KB S08 MCU in a through-hole 28-pin PDIP for prototyping or repair, or are porting a legacy HC08 5V design where pin and tool compatibility matter. Choose the pin-compatible MC9S08SE8CRL instead when firmware exceeds 4 KB, when you want sourcing insurance on an EOL part line, or when a minimal price premium buys double the flash headroom. For new designs, neither is ideal: both are end-of-life at the authorized channel, so evaluate currently active NXP S08 variants (S08P/S08PT) or ARM Cortex-M0+ MCUs with active lifecycle status. Verify exact package pinout and supply-dependent parameters against the S08SE Technical Data document before finalizing any substitution.

Notas de diseño

This part is end-of-life at the original Freescale/NXP channel. Current stock comes from aftermarket and excess sources (Rochester Electronics LLC and Flip Electronics on DigiKey, plus Mouser, LCSC, Hotenda). For production designs, qualify at least two of these sources and consider designing the PCB socket/footprint to accept the pin-compatible MC9S08SE8CRL (8 KB FLASH) so future service builds can substitute the higher-memory variant if SE4 stock dries up.

The MC9S08SE4CRL supports dual-supply operation at 3.3V and 5V per distributor parametric data. Supply voltage affects maximum CPU frequency, I/O drive strength, and ADC reference range, so verify all supply-dependent limits in the S08SE Technical Data sheet for your chosen operating point before locking the design. Place 0.1 uF ceramic decoupling capacitors directly across the VDD/VSS pin pairs and a bulk capacitor near the regulator to handle FLASH erase/write current surges during in-circuit programming.

The 28-pin PDIP (0.600 inch / 15.24 mm) through-hole package with 2.54 mm pin pitch makes layout simple, but for reliable in-circuit programming and debugging, bring the background debug mode (BDM) signals to a standard 6-pin BDM header on the PCB. Keep oscillator traces short and guard them from switching loads such as relay or motor drivers. Socketed DIP footprints should use dual-wipe sockets to maintain contact integrity over repeated firmware updates in prototyping.
