The 68HC908GR8 and the 68HC908GR4 utilize
integrated second generation FLASH and are
enhanced with embedded, on-chip functions
that eliminate the need for external serial
components. The 32 kHz phase-locked loop
provides cost savings by replacing the need
for expensive, high-speed crystals or noisy
oscillators. The on-chip timebase module
(TBM) further reduces costs by eliminating
the need for external real-time clock and
wakeup circuitry. Other features of the
68HC908GR8 and the 68HC908GR4 are an
analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a serial
communications interface (SCI), a serial
peripheral interface (SPI), low-voltage inhibit
(LVI) and a watchdog timer.
• Fully static low-voltage, low-power design
with wait and stop modes
INTEGRATED SECOND GENERATION FLASH MEMORY
• In-application re-programmable
• Cost-effective programming changes and
field software upgrades via in-application
programmability and re-programmability
• Extremely fast programming, encoding
64 bytes in as fast as 2 msec
• Reduces production programming costs
through ultra-fast programming
• FLASH programming across the 68HC08’s
full operating supply voltage with no extra
programming voltage
• Allows re-programmable battery-powered
applications
• 10K write/erase cycles minimum over
temperature
• Byte-writable for data as well as program
memory
• 100K write/erase cycles typical
• Protects code from unauthorized reading
and to guard against unintentional
erasing/writing of user-programmable
segments of code
• Flexible block protection and security
8-BIT ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER
• 8/6 channels
• Fast, easy conversion from analog inputs
like temperature, pressure and fluid levels
to digital values for CPU processing
