MC68MH360EM33L Visão geral

The NXP (formerly Motorola/Freescale) MC68MH360EM33L is a CPU32+ microprocessor IC from the M683xx (QUICC) family featuring a single 32-bit core running at 33 MHz, housed in a 240-pin FQFP (32x32 mm) package with a low-power 'L' suffix designator. It integrates 1 QUICC communications processor module plus 2 SMC, 1 SPI, and on-chip networking peripherals targeting telecom, networking, and embedded control applications.

A microprocessor (MPU) is an integrated circuit that contains the arithmetic logic unit (ALU), control unit, register set, and memory interface logic of a computer system on a single silicon die. In the system hierarchy, an MPU sits above microcontrollers (which add on-chip peripherals and memory) and below application processors (which add multimedia, security, and high-bandwidth interfaces). The M683xx QUICC family is positioned as a communications-optimized MPU, integrating dedicated serial and protocol engines to off-load the CPU32+ core.

Key features include a 32-bit CPU32+ instruction set with enhanced addressing modes, integrated communications peripherals (2 SCC, 2 SMC, 1 SPI), 4-channel DMA controller, DRAM controller with page mode support, and on-chip timers. The 33 MHz core delivers approximately 16 MIPS peak throughput while supporting M68000-family source compatibility for legacy code reuse. The 'L' suffix denotes a low-power process variant for reduced quiescent dissipation.

Typical applications include ISDN terminal adapters, router control planes, industrial serial-to-Ethernet bridges, and legacy M68K embedded control designs. The combination of an integrated communications processor and 32-bit core makes the MC68MH360EM33L particularly well-suited to multi-protocol telecom infrastructure where deterministic serial performance is required alongside general-purpose processing.

When designing with this device, validate supply-rail decoupling on all 5V-tolerant I/O banks and verify timing margins against the worst-case 33 MHz bus loading. Engineers migrating designs from earlier MH360 derivatives should review the silicon revision differences documented in the manufacturer datasheet errata.

Aplicações típicas

MC68MH360EM33L é adequado para 6 aplicaçãos: ISDN Terminal Adapter, Industrial Router Control Plane, Legacy M68K Industrial Control, Telecom Multi-Protocol Bridge, Embedded Serial Concentrator, Legacy Telecom Base Station Controller.

🌐

ISDN Terminal Adapter

The MC68MH360EM33L's integrated QUICC communications processor with 2 SCC channels running HDLC and the 33 MHz CPU32+ core make it well-suited to ISDN terminal adapters that require simultaneous B-channel protocol handling and user-plane processing. The CPU32+ executes signaling stack and call-control code while the SCC off-loads the Layer-2 HDLC framing. Placed as the main MPU on the adapter board, the MC68MH360EM33L drives the external MC68160A Ethernet transceiver and ISDN U-interface codec; the 5V-tolerant bus interfaces directly to standard telecom glue logic. Its 32-bit datapath eliminates the bottlenecks seen with 8/16-bit microcontrollers in dual-channel ISDN applications.

🏭

Industrial Router Control Plane

In embedded router and gateway designs, the MC68MH360EM33L serves as the control-plane MPU managing routing tables, SNMP agents, and serial management interfaces. The 33 MHz CPU32+ provides sufficient throughput for low-to-mid packet rates, while the integrated 2 SCC ports handle HDLC-framed WAN links. Compared with 68k microcontrollers lacking integrated SCC, this device reduces BOM and PCB area. The QUICC peripheral set enables deterministic serial latency required by industrial control protocols, and the 240-FQFP footprint supports thermal headroom for the sustained processing loads typical of always-on industrial gateways.

🏭

Legacy M68K Industrial Control

For factories running long-lifecycle M68K firmware on assembly lines, the MC68MH360EM33L provides a pin-compatible refresh of the original MH360 silicon with the same CPU32+ ISA, allowing direct binary reuse. The QUICC communications engine and 4-channel DMA controller handle deterministic serial I/O for PLC backplanes, while the 32-bit datapath executes ladder-logic-to-CPU translation without breaking legacy timing budgets. The 'L' low-power suffix limits quiescent dissipation in always-on control cabinets, and the 240-FQFP package matches the original M68K board layout, eliminating costly mechanical retooling during control-system refresh projects.

🌐

Telecom Multi-Protocol Bridge

Multi-protocol telecom bridges that translate between HDLC, UART, and transparent serial streams benefit from the MC68MH360EM33L's 2 SCC plus 2 SMC combination, which simultaneously handles up to four independent serial channels. The CPU32+ runs protocol conversion while the QUICC engine executes DMA-driven framing. The 33 MHz speed grade delivers sufficient headroom for encryption overhead and statistical multiplexing; the integrated DRAM controller with page-mode support reduces external memory cost. The 240-FQFP package supplies the pin count needed for four serial ports plus parallel bus expansion to glue logic.

🖥️

Embedded Serial Concentrator

The MC68MH360EM33L's 2 SCC plus 2 SMC enables an embedded serial concentrator that aggregates multiple HDLC or UART data streams into a single higher-speed uplink. Each SCC can be configured independently, with the QUICC DMA engine moving data between channels and main memory without CPU32+ intervention. At 33 MHz, the core executes channel arbitration, statistical multiplexing, and link-layer management. The wide 32-bit external data bus interfaces to fast SRAM/DRAM supporting aggregate throughput well above any single serial channel, and the 240-FQFP package provides ample I/O for status LEDs and configuration switches.

Legacy Telecom Base Station Controller

Base station controllers in legacy GSM/CDMA networks require deterministic serial performance for the Abis interface and backhaul links. The MC68MH360EM33L's QUICC communications processor with 2 SCC channels and 33 MHz CPU32+ core supplies the deterministic Layer-2 framing and the call-processing throughput typical of small-cell or picocell base station controllers. The integrated DRAM controller supports the working-set memory of a base station controller handling hundreds of subscribers, and the 240-FQFP package supplies the I/O count needed for backhaul, timing, and alarm interfaces. NXP's long-term support of the M683xx family has made this part a mainstay in installed telecom infrastructure.

What is the maximum clock frequency of the MC68MH360EM33L?
The MC68MH360EM33L operates at a maximum clock frequency of 33 MHz, delivering peak throughput of approximately 16 MIPS on the CPU32+ core. The NXP M683xx QUICC family datasheet specifies 33 MHz as the top speed grade for the MC68MH360 series, with the part suffix 'EM33L' indicating both the 33 MHz speed grade and the low-power ('L') process variant.
What package does the MC68MH360EM33L come in?
The MC68MH360EM33L is supplied in a 240-pin FQFP (Fine-pitch Quad Flat Pack) measuring 32x32 mm with a 0.5 mm lead pitch. The wide body is required for the multiplexed 32-bit external data bus, DRAM control signals, and integrated QUICC communications peripheral I/O. Per the NXP M683xx package outline, this is a surface-mount package with a thermal pad recommended for improved heat spreading.
Is the MC68MH360EM33L in stock and where can I buy it?
As of 2026-10-16, the MC68MH360EM33L is reported as in distributor stock at Heisener (4,880 pieces). Pricing is quote-based at several authorized channels. Lead time is typically 5-7 days for stocked units. DigiKey lists the part with real-time inventory and ships same-day for orders placed before the cutoff. The lifecycle status is NRND, so we recommend qualifying a second source now.
What is the difference between the MC68MH360EM33L and the MC68MH360CEM33L?
The MC68MH360EM33L is the standard commercial/industrial variant, while the MC68MH360CEM33L (where 'C' precedes 'EM') typically denotes a specific mask revision or temperature grade per NXP's M683xx ordering scheme. Both share the same 240-FQFP package, CPU32+ core, and 33 MHz clock. Engineers should cross-check the device errata against the silicon revision letter before swapping.
Does the MC68MH360EM33L support Ethernet?
Yes. The MC68MH360EM33L integrates the QUICC communications processor with 2 SCC (Serial Communications Controllers) capable of running HDLC, UART, and transparent protocols. Ethernet MAC support is achieved by pairing the MPU with an external PHY and the MC68160A Enhanced Ethernet Transceiver (referenced in cross-reference documentation). The QUICC engine off-loads protocol processing from the CPU32+ core.
What is the best drop-in replacement for the MC68MH360EM33L?
The closest drop-in replacement is the MC68MH360CEM33L, the mask-revision variant of the same device in the identical 240-FQFP package with the same CPU32+ core, 33 MHz rating, and QUICC peripheral set. It is fully pin-compatible and software-compatible. For newer designs, the Freescale/NXP PowerQUICC MPC860 family offers a software migration path but is NOT pin-compatible and requires PCB rework.
MC68MH360EM33L vs MPC860 - which should I choose for a new design?
For a brand-new design where PCB rework is acceptable, the MPC860 family is the modern successor with lower power, higher integration, and longer lifecycle. For legacy M68K designs or boards where the 240-FQFP footprint is already laid out, the MC68MH360EM33L remains the right choice because the MPC860 uses a different package (BGA or PQFP with different pinout). The MC68MH360EM33L preserves existing firmware, layout, and BOM.
What are the key integrated peripherals on the MC68MH360EM33L?
Per the NXP M683xx datasheet, the MC68MH360EM33L integrates 2 SCC (Serial Communications Controllers supporting HDLC/UART/Transparent), 2 SMC (Serial Management Channels), 1 SPI port, a 4-channel DMA controller, 2 timer modules, a DRAM controller with page mode, and a system integration block. The QUICC engine handles serial protocol processing independently from the CPU32+ core.
Can the MC68MH360EM33L be used in industrial temperature environments?
The MC68MH360EM33L is the standard temperature variant. For industrial-grade operation across -40C to +85C, NXP offers the MC68MH360CEM33L with the extended temperature grade in the same 240-FQFP package. Designers should verify the specific operating temperature range on the device datasheet ordering information table before deployment in harsh environments.
Where can I download the MC68MH360EM33L datasheet PDF?
The official MC68MH360EM33L datasheet PDF is available from NXP at https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/data-sheet/MC68MH360.pdf. The datasheet includes electrical characteristics, AC timing, package dimensions, and the QUICC programming model. For historical Motorola/Freescale errata and reference manuals, NXP's M683xx documentation archive remains the authoritative source.
What is the operating voltage of the MC68MH360EM33L?
The MC68MH360EM33L operates from a 5V supply typical of the M683xx family; the exact Vdd tolerance and I/O bank voltage specifications are detailed in the manufacturer datasheet electrical characteristics section. Designers should follow the recommended decoupling network shown in the M683xx hardware design reference manual to ensure reliable operation at 33 MHz.
Is the MC68MH360EM33L still in production?
As of 2026-10-16, the MC68MH360EM33L is in NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs) status. NXP continues to support existing customers but is steering new designs toward the PowerQUICC and QorIQ families. Distributors like DigiKey and Heisener still list inventory. Engineers starting new projects should evaluate the MPC860 or ColdFire MCF527x as forward-compatible alternatives.
What can replace the MC68MH360EM33L on the same PCB?
Pin-compatible replacements for the MC68MH360EM33L on the same 240-FQFP footprint include the MC68MH360CEM33L (mask revision variant, same silicon features) and the MC68MH360EM25L (25 MHz speed grade, also fits but runs slower). The MC68MH360EM40L (40 MHz version) is also pin-compatible and provides a free upgrade in clock speed. All share identical software, peripheral set, and DRAM controller.
What is the equivalent Freescale or NXP part for legacy Motorola designs?
Freescale (acquired by NXP in 2015) manufactured the MC68MH360EM33L under the same part number, so the Freescale and NXP SKUs are identical. For customers migrating off Motorola-branded inventory, the part is sourced directly from NXP with no functional change. Cross-reference tools on NXP.com can confirm drop-in equivalents and recommend modernization paths to the PowerQUICC family.
Is the MC68MH360EM33L RoHS compliant?
The RoHS compliance status of the MC68MH360EM33L is not explicitly confirmed in the available verified web data. The 240-FQFP package on this part family was historically supplied in lead-containing finishes. Engineers requiring RoHS-compliant assembly should request the LF (lead-free) variant suffix from NXP, or verify the specific finish code with the manufacturer datasheet ordering information.

Guia de seleção

Choose the MC68MH360EM33L when you need a 32-bit M68K MPU with integrated QUICC communications peripherals in a 240-FQFP package at 33 MHz, and your design already targets the M683xx ecosystem. Pick the MC68MH360CEM33L when you want the same 33 MHz performance plus mask-revision errata fixes. Choose the MC68MH360EM40L if you need free 21% extra clock headroom on the same PCB. Choose the MC68MH360EM25L only if your firmware timing budgets are established for 25 MHz. The MC68MH360EM33 (no L) is the right pick only if the thermal envelope allows higher quiescent dissipation. For new designs without legacy M68K code, migrate to the PowerQUICC MPC860 or ColdFire MCF527x instead.

Principais diferenciais

  • Higher clock speed available in the same package (vs MC68MH360EM25L)
  • Low-power variant preserves thermal envelope (vs MC68MH360EM33)
  • Drop-in mask revision with errata fixes (vs MC68MH360CEM33L)

Notas de projeto

The 240-FQFP MC68MH360EM33L draws core and I/O current on multiple VDD/VSS pin pairs distributed across the package. Use a star-ground topology with 0.1uF ceramic decoupling capacitors placed within 5 mm of each VDD pin, plus bulk tantalum or polymer capacitors (10-47uF) on the main 5V rail. The 'L' suffix reduces quiescent current relative to the standard part, but switching current at 33 MHz still requires robust bulk decoupling for the address/data bus transitions.

Route the 32-bit external data bus with matched trace lengths (delta < 1 cm) and a 50-ohm characteristic impedance to the SRAM/DRAM bank. Place the DRAM array as close as possible to the RAS/CAS outputs to minimize stub lengths. Keep the EXTAL/XTAL crystal traces short and shield them from address bus activity to avoid jitter injection into the system clock.

Do not assume the MC68MH360EM33L is fully software-compatible with newer PowerQUICC parts - the QUICC CPM register map is similar but interrupt vectors and command register layouts differ. Validate legacy M68K firmware against the M683xx programmer's reference manual before porting. Also, the part is NRND, so procurement should plan a second-source qualification in parallel with production deployment.
