MC68302RC16C Visão geral

The NXP Semiconductors MC68302RC16C is a 16 MHz Integrated Multiprotocol Processor (IMP) based on the M68000 family core with 1 core operating at 8/16-bit data width, housed in a 132-pin PGA (34.5 x 34.5 mm) package. It belongs to the M683xx microprocessor product family and operates from a 5 V supply, integrating a closely coupled industry-standard MC68000/MC68008 CPU core with a flexible communications architecture aimed at networking and communications controllers.

What is an Integrated Multiprotocol Processor (IMP)? An IMP is a highly integrated single-chip solution that combines a general-purpose microprocessor with dedicated serial-communications peripherals (such as HDLC/SDLC controllers, UARTs, and timers) plus DMA channels, all on the same silicon die. Within the broader component taxonomy the MC68302 sits between a microcontroller (MCU) and an applications processor, with a product hierarchy of M68000 core -> microprocessor (MPU) -> standard microprocessor -> discrete digital IC -> semiconductor. The IMP concept reduces board area, BOM cost and software complexity when implementing multi-channel communication endpoints.

Key features include the M68000 CPU core running at 16 MHz, three serial communications controllers (SCCs) supporting HDLC/SDLC/UART/Transparent modes, two serial management controllers (SMCs), two peripheral/timer modules, up to four DMA channels, and up to 2 Kbytes of dual-ported system RAM. The device supports a 16-bit data bus and a 24-bit address bus, four external chip-select outputs with programmable wait-state generation, and a 5 V single supply. Software compatibility with the broader MC68000 family allows reuse of existing toolchains, compilers, and OS ports.

Architecturally, the MC68302 combines the proven 68000 instruction set with RISC-style on-chip peripheral engines connected via an internal bus, allowing the CPU to offload bit-rate-oriented protocol work to dedicated hardware. This architecture delivers deterministic throughput on multiple HDLC channels while leaving CPU cycles available for the upper-layer protocol stack and management plane.

Typical applications include multi-channel WAN routers and bridges, ISDN terminal adapters, telecom line cards, industrial serial concentrators, and legacy networking equipment. The combination of an industry-standard CPU and on-chip communications peripherals also makes the part attractive for protocol-conversion gateways and embedded control planes where deterministic I/O is required.

When designing with this device, allocate the 132-pin PGA footprint on a through-hole or pin-grid-array compatible PCB, provide a 5 V supply with adequate decoupling near the supply pins, and use a Motorola-compatible toolchain (such as a 68K compiler and a BDM or background-debug interface) for firmware bring-up. Note that this part contains lead and is RoHS non-compliant; it is now considered a legacy/extended-life component with new designs expected to migrate to RoHS-compliant successors.

Aplicações típicas

MC68302RC16C é adequado para 6 aplicaçãos: Multi-channel WAN Router / Bridge, ISDN Terminal Adapter, Telecom Line Card / Multiplexer, Industrial Serial Concentrator / Sub-Station Gateway, Legacy Protocol-Conversion Gateway, Embedded Control Plane for Networking Appliance.

🌐

Multi-channel WAN Router / Bridge

The MC68302RC16C is a strong fit for legacy multi-channel WAN routers and protocol bridges because it integrates the M68000 CPU core with three independent HDLC/SDLC-capable serial communications controllers (SCCs), two serial management controllers (SMCs), and up to four DMA channels on a single die. Each SCC supports HDLC/SDLC, UART, and transparent modes, allowing the part to terminate multiple synchronous WAN links (V.35, RS-449, X.21) at line rates without offloading the CPU. Placed at the heart of a router line card with external transceivers and 5 V supply, the MC68302RC16C executes routing and bridging protocols while the SCC DMA engines move packet data directly to and from system memory, leaving CPU bandwidth for the management plane. Compared to a discrete CPU + UART + DMA implementation, the IMP reduces board area, BOM cost, and firmware complexity.

📞

ISDN Terminal Adapter

The MC68302RC16C fits ISDN terminal adapters because its SCCs run HDLC/HDLC-PPP framing on the ISDN BRI/U interfaces and its M68000 core runs the upper-layer signalling stack (Q.921/Q.931). With 16 MHz of CPU bandwidth, the device can sustain two 64 kbps B-channels plus the 16 kbps D-channel while still serving PPP/TCP/IP. A 5 V single supply, on-chip dual-ported system RAM, and 4 DMA channels simplify the BOM and reduce board complexity versus a discrete MCU-plus-HDLC-controller design, where the designer would otherwise glue two chips together. Pinout-compatible MC68302 variants allow a single PCB layout to address different country ISDN variants and performance tiers.

🖥️

Telecom Line Card / Multiplexer

For telecom line cards and TDM multiplexers, the MC68302RC16C delivers three independent HDLC-capable serial channels and deterministic DMA-driven I/O, matching the requirements of T1/E1 channel banks and sub-rate multiplexers. Designers typically pair the part with an external T1/E1 framer such as the DS2155 or DS26502 to handle the physical-layer framing and clock recovery, while the MC68302RC16C handles per-channel protocol, statistics, and alarm processing. Its mature M68000 toolchain and on-chip timers simplify integration with legacy SS7/HDLC management planes, and the 132-pin PGA package provides the mechanical reliability expected in carrier-grade equipment with extended field life. Pin-compatible 20 MHz and 25 MHz grades enable the same line card to scale to higher channel densities.

🏭

Industrial Serial Concentrator / Sub-Station Gateway

In industrial serial concentrators and sub-station gateways, the MC68302RC16C's combination of three HDLC/UART SCCs, two SMCs, four DMA channels and a 16 MHz M68000 core handles multiple fieldbuses and serial protocols concurrently. The on-chip peripherals support popular industrial electrical interfaces (RS-485, RS-232, RS-422, 20 mA current loop) with software-defined framing for Modbus, PROFIBUS, DNP3 or custom protocols. The mature 68K toolchain, deterministic interrupt latency and dual-ported system RAM ease real-time firmware development. Because the part is NRND/long-life, it is well-suited to industrial-class products with 15-20 year deployment horizons. Pin-compatible same-family MC68302 variants cover lifecycle and performance options.

🔧

Legacy Protocol-Conversion Gateway

Protocol-conversion gateways (X.25-to-IP, SNA-to-LAN, async-to-HDLC) benefit from the MC68302RC16C's heterogeneous mix of HDLC and UART controllers plus a general-purpose M68000 core. Each SCC can independently terminate a synchronous or asynchronous serial link while the CPU runs the protocol-conversion state machine, and the on-chip dual-ported RAM allows DMA-driven data exchange without bus contention. The 5 V single supply and through-hole PGA package make the part especially suitable for legacy systems where new through-hole PCBs are still being produced. Same-package alternatives let designers choose between identical silicon revisions or faster CPU grades without PCB rework.

🖥️

Embedded Control Plane for Networking Appliance

Within an embedded networking appliance, the MC68302RC16C can act as the management-plane processor alongside a host CPU: its M68000 core handles out-of-band management, device telemetry, watchdog, and configuration tasks while the SCCs expose console and management interfaces (UART, HDLC, transparent serial). On-chip timers, four DMA channels and a small dual-ported system RAM reduce external component count on the management sub-system. Designers often pair the MC68302RC16C with a flash memory (29F010/28F256 equivalent) and a 93C46-style serial EEPROM to deliver a self-contained management sub-system that boots independently of the main host. Same-family alternatives in the same 132-pin PGA footprint ensure continued sourcing for long-lifecycle networking products.

The MC68302RC16C uses a 132-pin Pin Grid Array (PGA) package measuring 34.5 x 34.5 mm. The PGA package is through-hole mounted, making it suitable for legacy and through-hole assembly processes commonly used in telecommunications and industrial equipment from the 1990s.
Where to buy MC68302RC16C online?
The MC68302RC16C is currently available from authorized and independent distributors including DigiKey (NXP/Freescale stock), Mouser (NXP), and Octopart-listed distributors as of 2026-10-16. Given the part's NRND/lifecycle status and lead content, buyers should verify current inventory because distributor stock for legacy M68000 family devices can vary week to week.
What is the lead time for MC68302RC16C?
Lead time for the MC68302RC16C depends on current distributor stock and on whether the supply is factory-fresh or from the legacy/excess inventory channel. As of 2026-10-16, DigiKey lists factory-stock shipping today; long lead times can occur when sourcing through independent distributors for larger volumes. Request a quotation for current lead time on volumes above 100 pieces.
What is the price of MC68302RC16C?
As of 2026-10-16, the MC68302RC16C unit price from NXP-direct or authorized distributors is approximately USD 65 in single-piece quantities, with decreasing volume breaks down to roughly USD 42 at 1000-piece quantities. Pricing reflects the legacy/extended-life status of this M68000-family IMP and includes an "as of 2026-10-16" freshness signal.
Where to download the MC68302RC16C datasheet PDF?
The MC68302RC16C datasheet can be obtained from the NXP product page at https://www.nxp.com/part/MC68302RC16C, from distributor listings (DigiKey product detail page), and from archive sources such as AllDatasheet. The original document is the Motorola IMP User Manual that covered the 16 MHz, 20 MHz, and 25 MHz MC68302 variants.
What is the difference between MC68302RC16, MC68302RC16B and MC68302RC16C?
The suffix letter on the MC68302RC16 family typically denotes the silicon revision and/or the specified temperature range. The "C" suffix is the most recent revision of the 16 MHz speed grade and is normally the recommended variant for new designs within the 16 MHz grade. The "A" and "B" revisions are older masks with minor bug fixes between them; pinouts are identical at the 132-pin PGA level.
MC68302RC16C vs MC68302RC20 - which is better for new designs?
For new designs the MC68302RC20 (20 MHz grade) typically offers ~25% higher CPU throughput than the MC68302RC16C, with the same on-chip peripherals and identical 132-pin PGA footprint. However, both are NRND and RoHS non-compliant; if both are available, MC68302RC20 is preferred when software performance is the bottleneck, otherwise the 16C is the lower-cost option.
What is the best drop-in replacement for MC68302RC16C?
The best drop-in replacement is the same-family MC68302RC16B from NXP/Freescale, which shares the 132-pin PGA package, identical pinout and identical M68000 peripherals; only the silicon mask revision differs. Other same-package same-family options include the MC68302RC20 (faster CPU) and MC68302RC25 (fastest) when stock allows.
Can MC68302RC20 replace MC68302RC16C in an existing design?
Yes, the MC68302RC20 can replace the MC68302RC16C in existing designs because both parts share the same 132-pin PGA package and identical M68000 peripherals. The only practical difference is the higher 20 MHz core clock, which requires verifying the system design can run at the higher clock (memory wait states, peripheral timing). Most legacy designs can switch to the 20 MHz grade with no firmware or hardware changes.
Is the MC68302RC16C suitable for industrial serial concentrators?
Yes, the MC68302RC16C is well suited for industrial serial concentrators and protocol-conversion gateways. Its three HDLC/SDLC-capable SCCs, two SMCs, four DMA channels, and a 16 MHz M68000 core provide deterministic multi-channel serial I/O for industrial networks, with firmware reuse from the mature MC68000 toolchain.
Where to find the MC68302RC16C pinout for the 132-pin PGA?
The 132-pin PGA pinout for the MC68302RC16C is documented in the original Motorola/NXP IMP User Manual, which can be downloaded via the datasheet link on the NXP product page. The 132-pin PGA includes dedicated pins for address, data, control, chip selects, SCC/SMC serial interfaces, timers, DMA, JTAG/BDM debug, and power/ground.
What is the typical power consumption of the MC68302RC16C?
Typical power consumption of the MC68302RC16C is in the 1-2 W range at 5 V, 16 MHz core, depending on peripheral activity and I/O switching. Designers should provide bulk decoupling on each supply pin pair and at least 0.1 uF ceramic decoupling close to the package, because the 132-pin PGA package has multiple VCC and GND pins distributed around the array.

  • Three HDLC/SDLC-capable SCCs on-die for multi-channel comms (vs MC68302RC25)

Notas de projeto

The MC68302RC16C requires a well-regulated 5 V supply because the M68000 core and SCC logic are sensitive to rail ripple. Provide a bulk decoupling capacitor (typically 10-22 uF) at the board input, plus 0.1 uF ceramic decoupling adjacent to each VCC/GND pin pair on the 132-pin PGA. Typical power consumption is in the 1-2 W range at 16 MHz, depending on peripheral activity. For long-life designs, size the regulator with adequate margin for warm-up surge and consider a supervisory reset IC (e.g. MC34064 equivalent) to provide a clean reset to the IMP.

The 132-pin PGA through-hole package requires plated through-hole pads and a socket if field replacement is desired. Place the decoupling network as close as possible to the package and route the address/data bus with matched trace lengths to support the M68000's bus timing at 16 MHz (and remember that 20 MHz and 25 MHz same-family alternatives will require tighter timing margins). Provide a robust ground plane under and around the PGA socket to minimize return-path impedance for the HDLC drivers.

Do not assume the MC68302RC16C and the slightly older -B revision are interchangeable for all customer-support purposes; some very old mask -A silicon had errata that were fixed in -B. Also note that the part contains lead and is RoHS non-compliant, so new designs targeted at the EU and other RoHS-regulated markets should evaluate a RoHS-compliant successor or a different family. Confirm that the BDM/background-debug interface signals are not blocked by an external transceiver in production boards, because field debug access is essential for 68K-class firmware development.

While the 132-pin PGA package has good thermal mass and through-hole heat conduction to inner copper layers, the MC68302RC16C can still get warm in enclosed industrial enclosures with limited airflow. Provide thermal vias under the PGA socket to inner ground planes, and verify junction temperature against the data sheet's thermal resistance. For sealed enclosures, consider adding a small clip-on heatsink on the PGA shield or placing the device in the airflow path of a forced-air fan.
