MC68340AB16E-FR - 32-Bit CPU32 MPU 16MHz QFP-144 | NXP
The NXP MC68340AB16E-FR is a 32-bit integrated microprocessor from the M683xx family featuring a CPU32 core (an enhanced M68000-compatible processor), dual-channel DMA, timers, serial I/O, and chip-select logic integrated on a single die. Operating at 16 MHz with a 32-bit internal data path and 16-bit external memory bus, it is offered in a 144-pin QFP (QFP-144, 28x28 mm) surface-mount package with the -FR suffix denoting tape-and-reel packaging.
A microprocessor (MPU) is an integrated circuit that contains the central processing unit of a computer system, including the instruction decoder, arithmetic logic unit, registers, and control logic. The MC68340 belongs to the broader category of embedded processors -> microprocessors (MPU) -> microcontrollers & processors -> semiconductors. It is designed for embedded systems requiring deterministic real-time performance, on-chip peripheral integration, and legacy 68000 instruction-set compatibility, including industrial control, communication gateways, and point-of-sale terminals.
Key features of the MC68340AB16E-FR include a CPU32 core delivering 32-bit CISC instruction set performance from a 16-bit external memory interface, two independent DMA channels, two 16-bit timers, dual serial communication interfaces (SCI), and a 16-bit parallel interface. The part also provides programmable chip-select outputs for glue-less memory and peripheral interfacing, and it operates from a single 5 V supply typical of the 68K family. The QFP-144 (28x28 mm) package supports surface-mount assembly and provides access to all CPU32 address, data, and peripheral signals.
Architecturally, the CPU32 core is a 32-bit version of the Motorola 68000 with additional instructions optimized for compiled C code, while the on-chip peripheral block reduces system chip count by integrating DMA, timers, and serial controllers that would otherwise require separate logic. The combination of peripherals offered on the MC68340 makes it a candidate for designers who need more integration than a bare M68000 but do not require a full ColdFire or ARM Cortex-M migration.
Typical applications include industrial automation controllers, telecommunications equipment, point-of-sale terminals, and legacy embedded systems migrating from discrete 68000 designs to a more integrated solution. The 16 MHz CPU32 core delivers approximately 4 MIPS of sustained throughput, suitable for protocol handling and machine control.
When designing with this device, note that the 68K family is mature and NXP has explicitly stated there is no pin-to-pin drop-in replacement for the MC68340; new designs should evaluate ColdFire or ARM Cortex-M alternatives. Existing MC68340 designs must validate supply availability and lifecycle status with NXP franchised distributors before committing to new production runs.
This page synthesizes distributor availability, parametric specifications, package data, and lifecycle commentary from NXP, DigiKey, Mouser, Octopart, and LCSC that are not consolidated on any single manufacturer or distributor page.
