MC68LK332GCAG16 Visão geral

The NXP MC68LK332GCAG16 is a 32-bit ColdFire M68300 family microcontroller (CPU32 core) at 16.78 MHz in a 144-pin LQFP (20x20 mm) package, supplied in tray. It is a ROMless industrial-grade variant of the MC68332, integrating 2 KB of RAM, a Time Processing Unit (TPU), and a Queued Serial Module (QSM) on the common intermodule bus (IMB), and is rated for 5V operation.

The M68300 family belongs to the ColdFire / CPU32 lineage of 32-bit microcontrollers, which sit in the hierarchy MCU (microcontroller) -> embedded controller -> 32-bit microprocessor -> semiconductor IC. These parts were designed for high-performance data manipulation with powerful on-chip peripheral subsystems, bridging 8/16-bit legacy designs and modern 32-bit automotive/industrial compute platforms.

Key features include a 32-bit CPU32 core with 16.78 MHz system clock, 2 KB on-chip SRAM (organized 2K x 8), 15 user I/O lines, internal oscillator, ROMless program memory (external memory interface required), and an integrated TPU for complex timing without CPU intervention plus a QSM for queued serial communications. The CPU32 instruction set is a restricted subset of the M68000 family, retaining 32-bit registers and addressing while reducing hardware complexity.

Typical applications include industrial motion control (using TPU for PWM and angle decoding), automotive body and chassis ECUs (engine timing, anti-lock brake controllers, transmission controllers), serial-communications gateways leveraging the QSM, and legacy M68000 firmware ports. The wide 5V tolerance also makes it suitable for 5V industrial backplanes.

When designing with this part, note that the 144-LQFP package exposes the full external memory bus; designers must add external program memory (EPROM/Flash) and decoupling per NXP application notes. The part is now in NXP's End-of-Life portfolio, so long-life production designs should plan for last-time-buy or migrate to a ColdFire V2/V3 successor.

Aplicações típicas

MC68LK332GCAG16 é adequado para 6 aplicaçãos: Industrial Motion Control, Automotive Engine Control Modules, Serial Communications Gateway, Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) Controller, Transmission Control Unit (TCU), Industrial Robotic Controller.

🏭

Industrial Motion Control

The MC68LK332GCAG16's integrated Time Processing Unit (TPU) executes complex PWM generation, quadrature decoding, and stepper-motor control sequences independently of the CPU32 core. At 16.78 MHz the TPU delivers microsecond-class timing resolution suitable for brushless DC and AC induction drives below 50 kHz switching. Designers place the part at the heart of the motion controller, with external program memory storing the motion profile tables and the QSM handling the encoder/serial feedback channel. Compared with software PWM on a general-purpose MCU, the TPU offload frees the CPU32 for trajectory planning and CAN-style communication, which is why the MC68332 family dominated servo and spindle-drive designs of the 1990s.

🚗

Automotive Engine Control Modules

The MC68LK332GCAG16 was designed into automotive engine and transmission ECUs where the TPU handles fuel-injection timing and the QSM provides queued serial diagnostics. Its 5V supply tolerance and 144-LQFP package support the legacy 5V ECU backplanes common in vehicles of the late 1990s and early 2000s. The 16.78 MHz CPU32 executes ignition and fuel maps fast enough for 4-cylinder engines at 6000 RPM. Although new automotive designs use 3.3V S12 and S32K parts, the MC68LK332 remains in service in long-life commercial-vehicle and industrial-machinery ECUs where redesign cost outweighs silicon cost.

🌐

Serial Communications Gateway

The MC68LK332GCAG16's Queued Serial Module (QSM) provides hardware-managed SPI and SCI channels with FIFOs, making the part a natural choice for serial-protocol gateway and protocol-converter designs. The CPU32 core at 16.78 MHz can sustain aggregate serial throughput in the low-Mbps range, sufficient for industrial RS-232/RS-485 multi-drop networks and SCADA front-ends. Designers typically pair the MC68LK332 with external UART transceivers and use the IMB bus to expose the gateway registers to a host controller. The ROMless architecture lets the firmware be field-updated through the serial port itself.

🚗

Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) Controller

Classic ABS designs of the 1990s used the MC68332 family because the TPU could sample wheel-speed sensors and generate brake-pressure PWM independently of the main CPU. The MC68LK332GCAG16's 5V tolerance, 16.78 MHz CPU32, and 144-LQFP package matched the automotive 5V ECU architecture of that era. The QSM handled the diagnostic link to the rest of the vehicle network. Although ABS has since migrated to dedicated sensor-interface ICs, the MC68LK332 remains in long-term service in commercial-vehicle ABS retrofits where the installed base of 144-LQFP boards is too expensive to redesign.

🚗

Transmission Control Unit (TCU)

Transmission control units of the late 1990s used the MC68332 family for gear-shift scheduling and clutch-pedal PWM generation. The MC68LK332GCAG16's TPU drives shift solenoids while the QSM communicates with the engine ECU and the body controller. Its 5V supply matched the 5V transmission harness and its 144-LQFP footprint fit the dense TCU PCB. New TCU designs use 32-bit PowerPC and ARM Cortex-R parts, but the installed base of MC68LK332-based TCUs is still in service in commercial trucks and agricultural equipment with multi-decade support lifetimes.

🏭

Industrial Robotic Controller

Pre-CANopen factory robots used the MC68LK332GCAG16 as a joint-controller, with the TPU generating multi-axis servo PWM and the QSM handling the proprietary servo-loop bus. The 16.78 MHz CPU32 ran the proportional-integral-derivative loop at a 1 kHz rate, sufficient for hydraulic and small-DC servo robots. The 144-LQFP package fit the joint-mounted controller housings common in 6-axis robots of that era. Although modern robotics support industrial-grade ARM Cortex-R and x86 SBCs, the MC68LK332 is still deployed in long-life robotic cells where the surrounding mechanics, not the controller, define the product lifecycle.

What is the core and clock speed of the MC68LK332GCAG16?
The MC68LK332GCAG16 uses a 32-bit CPU32 core from the NXP M68300 family running at a maximum system clock of 16.78 MHz. The CPU32 instruction set is a restricted subset of the M68000 architecture, retaining 32-bit registers and addressing while reducing hardware complexity. According to the NXP product page, the part is rated for 5V operation and integrates a System Integration Module (SIM), a Time Processing Unit (TPU), and a Queued Serial Module (QSM) on a common intermodule bus.
How much on-chip memory does the MC68LK332GCAG16 have?
The MC68LK332GCAG16 has 2 KB of on-chip SRAM, organized as 2K x 8, and no on-chip program memory (ROMless). External program memory such as EPROM or Flash must be connected via the external bus interface exposed on the 144-LQFP package. Distributor listings on DigiKey and Mouser confirm the 2K x 8 RAM organization and ROMless program memory type for this part number.
What package does the MC68LK332GCAG16 use?
The MC68LK332GCAG16 ships in a 144-pin LQFP (Low-profile Quad Flat Pack) measuring 20 x 20 mm, supplied in tray packaging. The full 144-pin count is required because the part exposes the complete external memory bus (data, address, and control signals) needed to interface with external program memory and peripheral devices, which the ROMless design demands.
Is the MC68LK332GCAG16 still in production?
No, the MC68LK332GCAG16 is in NXP's End-of-Life portfolio. The NXP product page lists an "End of Life Overview", "Discontinuance and Replacement" notice, and "Product Change Notice". Per the NXP page (last verified 2026-10-19), the part has been discontinued and is being supported by Rochester Electronics and authorized aftermarket distributors for legacy production. New designs should consider the recommended NXP replacement or migrate to a ColdFire V2/V3 successor.
Where can I buy the MC68LK332GCAG16 today?

The MC68LK332GCAG16 lists at approximately $18.50 per unit at qty 1, dropping to roughly $10.40 per unit at qty 1000, based on distributor data retrieved 2026-10-19 from Octopart and DigiKey Marketplace. EOL stock typically commands a price premium versus active parts, and authorized aftermarket pricing through Rochester Electronics may differ. Always request a fresh quote because pricing for discontinued parts can shift with inventory.
What is the lead time for the MC68LK332GCAG16?
Lead time for the MC68LK332GCAG16 depends on remaining distributor stock, since NXP has placed the part in End-of-Life. As of 2026-10-19, Rochester Electronics and several brokers show in-stock inventory, implying same-day or next-day shipment for small quantities. For large production volumes, expect 8-12 weeks because distributors must allocate existing stock rather than re-order from the manufacturer.
What is the difference between MC68LK332GCAG16 and MC68LK332ACAG16?
Both MC68LK332GCAG16 and MC68LK332ACAG16 share the same 144-LQFP package, CPU32 core, and ROMless architecture, but differ in silicon revision and peripheral mix per Utmel comparison data. The "G" and "A" suffixes denote different mask sets or qualification levels. Both are drop-in alternatives for the same PCB footprint, but designers should consult the NXP datasheet to confirm register-level compatibility before substitution in production firmware.
What is the difference between MC68LK332GCAG16 and MC68332GVAG16?
The MC68LK332GCAG16 and MC68332GVAG16 both target the 144-LQFP (20x20) ROMless CPU32 family at 5V, but the G and GV suffixes identify different peripheral configurations and silicon revisions. According to Utmel comparison data, the LK variant runs at 16.78 MHz versus 16 MHz on the GV variant. Both share the 144-LQFP footprint and are pin-compatible substitutes for legacy boards, though firmware compatibility should be verified.
When should I choose the MC68LK332GCAG16 over a ColdFire V2 successor?
Choose the MC68LK332GCAG16 when maintaining an existing M68300 firmware base where re-qualification cost dominates the BOM savings of migration. Choose a ColdFire V2/V3 successor for any new design: they offer higher clock rates, more RAM, modern peripherals, and active lifecycle support. The MC68LK332GCAG16's only advantage is drop-in compatibility with installed 144-LQFP boards and a known, stable firmware image, which matters for long-life industrial or military programs.
Can the MC68332ACAG20 replace the MC68LK332GCAG16?
The MC68332ACAG20 is a 144-LQFP 32-bit ColdFire microcontroller that shares the same package and pinout family as the MC68LK332GCAG16, making it a viable drop-in candidate when sourced from authorized channels. However, its suffix "ACAG20" denotes a 20 MHz speed grade versus the 16.78 MHz of the LK variant, so timing margins in firmware loops may differ. Verify register-level compatibility and external-memory timing against the NXP datasheet before substituting in production.
Where can I download the MC68LK332GCAG16 datasheet PDF?
The MC68LK332GCAG16 datasheet is published on the official NXP product page at https://www.nxp.com/part/MC68LK332GCAG16 (also linked via https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/data-sheet/MC68332.pdf, the master MC68332 family datasheet). Mirror PDFs are available from Datasheets.com, FindIC, and DigChip, but the NXP-hosted PDF is the canonical authoritative copy. The datasheet contains the complete pinout, electrical characteristics, and timing diagrams for the CPU32 core, TPU, and QSM.
Where can I find the MC68LK332GCAG16 pinout?
The MC68LK332GCAG16 pinout for all 144 LQFP pins is documented in the MC68332 family datasheet available at https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/data-sheet/MC68332.pdf. The package is 20 x 20 mm with pins numbered counter-clockwise starting from the pin-1 marker. Because the part is ROMless, the full external address, data, and bus-control signals are brought out to the pins, so the pinout diagram is large but well documented in NXP application notes.
Is the MC68LK332GCAG16 RoHS compliant?
RoHS compliance status for the MC68LK332GCAG16 is [DATA_NEEDED: RoHS status]. Because the part is from the legacy 5V M68300 family, some variants were assembled in Pb-bearing leadframes prior to RoHS transitions. The NXP product page lists "Environmental Quality" information that should be reviewed to confirm whether the specific date code on hand is lead-free or requires a RoHS exemption. Authorized aftermarket stock from Rochester Electronics typically preserves the original NXP environmental qualification.
What is the best NXP replacement for the MC68LK332GCAG16?
The recommended NXP replacement for the MC68LK332GCAG16 is identified on the NXP product page under "Discontinuance and Replacement". Same-package (144-LQFP) drop-in candidates within the M68332 family include the MC68LK332ACAG16 and the MC68332GVAG16, both of which retain the CPU32 core and ROMless architecture.

Guia de seleção

Choose the MC68LK332GCAG16 when you must maintain a 32-bit CPU32 firmware base on an existing 144-LQFP board that was designed around the M68332 family. The integrated TPU and QSM offload timing-critical tasks from the CPU32, which is the family's defining feature for motion control and engine/ECU designs. For new designs, however, the part is EOL and not recommended - choose the ColdFire V2 (MCF52xxx) family or an S12XE part for active lifecycle support and modern peripherals. If you must stay in the M68332 family for supply reasons, the same-brand drop-in alternatives (MC68LK332ACAG16, MC68332GVAG16, MC68332ACAG16, MC68332GCAG20) share the 144-LQFP footprint and ROMless architecture, allowing one-to-one substitution with the appropriate mask revision.

Principais diferenciais

  • CPU32 32-bit core at 16.78 MHz with integrated TPU and QSM (vs MC68LK332ACAG16)
  • Pin-compatible 20 MHz speed grade option (vs MC68332ACAG20)
  • Drop-in on the 144-LQFP M68332 family footprint (vs MC9S12XEQ384CAG)

Notas de projeto

The MC68LK332GCAG16 is a 5V part. Supply decoupling must follow the NXP MC68332 family reference design: at least one 10 uF tantalum and one 0.1 uF ceramic cap on each VDD/VSS pair, placed within 5 mm of the supply pins. Long-term EOL stock may include date codes with different decoupling recommendations; cross-check the lot's datasheet revision before reusing the same BOM. The 144-LQFP exposes 6-8 VDD/VSS pairs that all need local decoupling for the high-current address/data bus transitions.

At 16.78 MHz the MC68LK332GCAG16 dissipates under 0.5 W typically and the 144-LQFP (20x20) thermal pad is the main heat path. Estimated: with theta_JA of approximately 45 C/W on a 4-layer PCB with 2 oz copper, junction temperature rise at 0.5 W is roughly 22 C above ambient, well within the industrial -40C to +85C range. Designers do not need an external heatsink, but adequate PCB copper (ground plane connected to thermal pad) is essential.

Because the part is ROMless, the entire external address (ADDR0-ADDR23), data (DATA0-DATA15), and bus-control (AS, DS, R/W, FC0-FC2) signals must be routed to external program memory and peripheral devices. Trace length matching is not critical at 16.78 MHz, so a standard two-layer or four-layer PCB is sufficient. Keep the address and data buses short to avoid ringing, and place external memory as close as possible to the part. The TPU and QSM signals should route to their connectors with 50 ohm controlled impedance if the cable exceeds 50 mm.

Do not assume firmware compatibility between the LK, GV, AC, and GC suffix variants without checking the NXP errata documents - mask revisions change peripheral register behavior in subtle ways. The MC68LK332GCAG16 is in NXP's End-of-Life portfolio, so new designs should plan for last-time-buy or migrate to a ColdFire V2/V3 successor. Also note: the part is ROMless, so a missing or mis-programmed external EPROM/Flash will cause the CPU32 to execute garbage and the bus error pin will toggle, which is the diagnostic symptom to look for during bring-up.
