MC908QY4AMPE Visão geral

The NXP (Freescale) MC908QY4AMPE is an 8-bit HC08 family microcontroller built on the M68HC08 CISC architecture with a Von Neumann memory map, integrating 4 KB of FLASH program memory, 128 bytes of RAM, an 8 MHz CPU08 core, and a 16-pin PDIP through-hole package. The part belongs to the HC08Q sub-family targeted at low-cost, high-volume embedded designs and ships as 16-DIP (0.300 inch / 7.62 mm body width). The 'AMPE' suffix indicates the industrial temperature grade and PDIP-16 packaging per NXP ordering information.

What is an 8-bit microcontroller (MCU)? An MCU is a single-chip computer containing a CPU, program memory (FLASH/ROM), working RAM, and a set of on-chip peripherals (timers, ADC, communications, I/O). The HC08 family uses an enhanced CPU08 core that executes a CISC instruction set with Von Neumann unified memory addressing, which simplifies firmware development but requires care to avoid bus contention between code fetches and data accesses.

Key features include 4 KB (4K x 8) on-chip FLASH with security protection against unauthorized readout in monitor mode, an internal bus clock derived from an on-chip oscillator, 13 general-purpose I/O pins, a multi-channel 10-bit (typical for the family) ADC, and standard HC08 peripherals including timers, keyboard interrupt, and COP watchdog. The part supports in-system FLASH programming through the standard HC08 monitor ROM, enabling field firmware updates.

The CPU08 core delivers 8 MIPS at 8 MHz bus clock, executes the HC08 instruction set with a 16-bit address space, and includes hardware multiply and divide for efficient numeric processing. The integrated FLASH controller and security circuitry prevent external readers from dumping the contents of program memory when monitor mode is disabled, providing basic IP protection for OEM firmware.

Typical applications include appliance control boards, simple sensor interfaces, white-goods user-interface controllers, low-end remote controls, battery chargers, and industrial timer/replacement modules where cost, FLASH reprogrammability, and a familiar 8-bit toolchain outweigh raw compute performance.

When designing with this part, allocate a minimum 4.7 kohm reset pull-up, place a 0.1 uF decoupling capacitor on each VDD pin, and follow HC08 monitor ROM entry sequence carefully if you plan to use background debug mode for in-circuit FLASH programming in production.

Aplicações típicas

MC908QY4AMPE é adequado para 6 aplicaçãos: White Goods Appliance Control, Remote Control and User Interface, Battery Charger and Power Management Front-End, Industrial Timer and Replacement Modules, Simple Sensor Interface and Data Logger, Educational and Hobby Microcontroller Platform.

🏭

White Goods Appliance Control

The MC908QY4AMPE suits appliance control boards (washing machines, dishwashers, microwave ovens) where 4 KB FLASH holds the user-interface state machine and 13 GPIO pins drive keypads, relays, and 7-segment displays. The 8 MHz CPU08 core executes simple timer, motor-direction, and buzzer-control logic without an RTOS, keeping BOM cost under $1 for the MCU alone. The industrial -40C to +125C temperature grade handles under-cabinet and outdoor-adjacent installations; the HC08Q FLASH security byte protects OEM calibration tables and proprietary wash-cycle profiles.

📱

Remote Control and User Interface

Low-cost IR/RF remote controls, HVAC wall thermostats, and simple consumer user-interface boards pair well with the MC908QY4AMPE because 4 KB FLASH accommodates button-matrix scanning logic, IR protocol bit-banging, and EEPROM-backed settings storage. The HC08Q keyboard interrupt module wakes the CPU only on key press, dropping average current to microamp levels and extending battery life to multi-year timescales. The 13 GPIO pins support a 4x4 keypad matrix with spare lines for status LEDs and a piezo buzzer driver.

⚡

Battery Charger and Power Management Front-End

Chargers for cordless tools, e-bikes, and 12V lead-acid batteries use the MC908QY4AMPE to monitor voltage, current, and temperature via the on-chip ADC and to drive MOSFET gate signals through GPIO. The 4 KB FLASH stores charging profiles for multiple chemistries (Li-ion, NiMH, SLA), and the COP watchdog resets the controller if the firmware hangs mid-charge. Industrial temperature grade allows charger operation in garages and outdoor enclosures; FLASH security prevents cloning of proprietary charge algorithms.

🏭

Industrial Timer and Replacement Modules

Replacement timers, conveyor-belt sequencers, and industrial interval counters rely on the MC908QY4AMPE's HC08 timer modules for accurate timebase generation, with 4 KB FLASH holding look-up tables of timing profiles. The 8 MHz bus clock and CPU08 hardware multiply deliver reliable sub-millisecond timing resolution. Industrial -40C to +125C temperature operation tolerates factory-floor heat, and the PDIP-16 package simplifies field-replacement on legacy through-hole control cards.

🧩

Simple Sensor Interface and Data Logger

Low-speed sensor aggregators for HVAC duct sensors, agricultural soil probes, and building automation nodes use the MC908QY4AMPE to read the on-chip ADC, average samples in RAM, and push filtered values out a UART to a host. The 4 KB FLASH stores calibration coefficients and simple linearization tables; the FLASH security byte protects the OEM calibration IP. The HC08Q keyboard interrupt pins double as wake-up sources for duty-cycled battery operation.

🔧

Educational and Hobby Microcontroller Platform

Universities, maker communities, and training labs adopt the MC908QY4AMPE because the PDIP-16 package is breadboard-friendly, the HC08 toolchain is mature and freely available (CodeWarrior for HC08), and the 4 KB FLASH / 128 byte RAM limit forces students to learn efficient embedded C. The FLASH security feature doubles as a teaching aid for memory-protection concepts, while the COP watchdog module illustrates watchdog-reset firmware patterns.

What is the operating frequency and program memory of MC908QY4AMPE?
The MC908QY4AMPE runs the CPU08 core at up to 8 MHz bus clock and integrates 4 KB (4K x 8) of on-chip FLASH for program storage. According to the NXP M68HC08 datasheet, this places the part in the low-cost HC08Q sub-family designed for simple control loops, appliance boards, and user-interface MCUs where 8-bit performance is sufficient.
How much RAM does MC908QY4AMPE have?
The MC908QY4AMPE integrates 128 bytes of on-chip RAM alongside its 4 KB FLASH, per the HC08QY4 datasheet. This is adequate for stack, a few hundred bytes of heap, and small data buffers, but firmware with heavy string handling or large lookup tables should move constant data into FLASH and minimize stack depth to fit comfortably.
What package does MC908QY4AMPE ship in and how many pins?
The 'PE' suffix denotes a 16-pin PDIP through-hole package with 0.300 inch (7.62 mm) body width. The 'M' in 'AMPE' indicates the industrial operating temperature grade of -40C to +125C. This PDIP-16 outline is friendly for hobby prototyping, breadboarding, and legacy board designs that prefer through-hole over surface-mount.
What is the operating temperature range of MC908QY4AMPE?
The 'M' suffix in MC908QY4AMPE designates the industrial temperature grade of -40C to +125C. This range covers outdoor enclosures, under-hood automotive non-safety applications, factory automation, and white-goods products. For commercial grade 0C to +70C only, the 'C' suffix variant is used; for full AEC-Q100 automotive qualification, the S08 family is preferred.
Can I program MC908QY4AMPE in-circuit?
Yes, the MC908QY4AMPE supports in-circuit FLASH programming via the HC08 monitor ROM and background debug mode (BDM). Designers typically expose the IRQ/TEST pins to a 6-pin BDM header so a P&E Multilink or equivalent tool can erase, blank-check, and program FLASH without removing the chip. FLASH security can be enabled after production programming to lock the part against unauthorized reads.
What is the best drop-in replacement for MC908QY4AMPE?
The closest pin-compatible drop-in replacement inside the same HC08Q family is the MC908QY4ACPE, which shares the same 4 KB FLASH and 16-pin PDIP outline. For new designs where long-term availability matters, consider migrating to an NXP S08 family part such as S08QG4 in the same PDIP-16 footprint; the toolchain and peripheral programming model differ, so firmware rework is required.
Where can I download the MC908QY4AMPE datasheet PDF?
The official NXP datasheet for MC908QY4AMPE is hosted at https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/data-sheet/MC908QY4.pdf. A secondary copy is available from DigiKey and Mouser product pages. The document covers memory maps, register definitions, electrical characteristics, and programming routines for the monitor ROM and FLASH controller.
MC908QY4AMPE vs ST7FLITES2Y0B6 - which is better for cost-sensitive 8-bit designs?
Both parts target cost-sensitive 8-bit embedded designs with FLASH and PDIP footprints, but they sit on different architectures (HC08 CISC vs ST7 RISC). The MC908QY4AMPE wins on HC08 toolchain familiarity and on-chip FLASH security; the ST7FLITES2Y0B6 typically offers slightly lower active power and a more modern peripheral set. Choose HC08 if your firmware base already exists; choose ST7 if you are starting fresh and want newer peripherals.
When should I choose MC908QY4AMPE over an ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller?
Choose the MC908QY4AMPE when total BOM cost is the dominant driver, the firmware base is already in HC08 assembly or C, and the application fits within 4 KB FLASH / 128 byte RAM. Choose a Cortex-M0 part instead when you need more than 16 KB FLASH, modern peripherals such as USB or CAN, and a 32-bit toolchain. For new designs, prefer the S08QG4 family over the legacy HC08Q where possible.
Is MC908QY4AMPE still in production in 2026?
As of 2026-10-18 the MC908QY4AMPE is in NXP's Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND) lifecycle stage; existing inventory is still available through distributors like Rochester Electronics, DigiKey, Mouser, and Heisener, but volume production has been wound down. For new designs, NXP recommends the S08 family or other active 8-bit MCUs; existing customers can continue to source the part through authorized channels.
What is the lead time for MC908QY4AMPE?
Lead time for MC908QY4AMPE varies by distributor and stock. Heisener shows approximately 6,320 pieces in stock with delivery in 2-5 business days as of 2026-10-18. Rochester Electronics is listed as the franchised distributor for the NRND part, with quotes typically returned within 1-3 business days. For guaranteed long-term supply, contact NXP directly about last-time-buy options.
What is the price of MC908QY4AMPE?
Heisener lists MC908QY4AMPE at approximately $2.88 per unit at qty 1 as of 2026-10-18, dropping to roughly $1.84 at qty 1,000. Pricing varies across distributors and depends on reel versus tube packaging; Rochester Electronics and DigiKey typically carry tube quantities. Quote-based pricing applies for large production volumes due to the NRND lifecycle stage.
Does MC908QY4AMPE support FLASH read protection / security?
Yes, the MC908QY4AMPE implements a security byte in the FLASH configuration register that, once programmed, blocks external readback of program memory through the monitor ROM. According to the HC08QY4 datasheet, the only way to regain access is to perform a mass erase, which also removes the FLASH security setting. This protects OEM firmware from casual copying but does not replace a cryptographic scheme for high-value IP.
What kind of design notes apply to MC908QY4AMPE PCB layout?
Standard HC08Q PCB practices apply: place 0.1 uF ceramic decoupling on every VDD pin, keep the reset pull-up resistor (typically 4.7 kohm) close to the RESET pin, and route the external oscillator or crystal traces short and symmetric. If using BDM for in-circuit programming, expose the BKGD pin on a header. Avoid long parallel traces under the IC to minimize noise coupling into the ADC channels.
Is MC908QY4AMPE RoHS compliant?
RoHS compliance status for the MC908QY4AMPE is not explicitly stated in the verified web data retrieved on 2026-10-18; the legacy HC08Q family was originally introduced before RoHS and many suffixes ship in lead-finish variants. For RoHS-compliant applications, request an RoHS-marked suffix (typically suffixed with 'EG' or similar) from NXP authorized distributors, or consult the manufacturer datasheet ordering information table.

Principais diferenciais

  • Industrial -40C to +125C temperature grade in PDIP-16 (vs MC908QY4ACPE)
  • Through-hole PDIP-16 package for breadboard and legacy designs (vs MC68HC908QY4CDTE)
  • HC08Q FLASH security with monitor ROM lock (vs Generic 8-bit MCUs without security)

Notas de projeto

Place a 0.1 uF ceramic decoupling capacitor as close as physically possible to the VDD pin (pin 4) with a short, wide trace to the VSS pin (pin 5). For boards with switching loads nearby, add a 10 uF bulk capacitor on the same supply rail. The HC08Q core is sensitive to supply ripple; keep analog and digital grounds connected at a single point to avoid offset errors in the on-chip ADC readings.

If using the on-chip oscillator with an external crystal or ceramic resonator, keep the OSC1/OSC2 traces short (under 5 mm), symmetric, and routed away from high-frequency switching signals. Add 4.7 kohm RESET pull-up to VDD and a 1 nF capacitor to VSS to filter noise on the reset line. When exposing BDM for in-circuit programming, route the BKGD pin to a 2x3 header with VDD and VSS for tool power.

Do not program the FLASH security byte until after production programming is complete and verified - once set, the only recovery is a mass erase that wipes all firmware. Configure the COP watchdog to a reasonable timeout (e.g. 1 second) and refresh it in the main loop; an unrefreshed COP resets the MCU and can cause field failures. Avoid driving large capacitive loads directly on GPIO pins above 10 mA per pin; use a buffer transistor or MOSFET for relay and buzzer drive.
