Introduction

The MC68HC908JB16 is a member of the low-cost, high-performance M68HC08 Family of 8-bit microcontroller units (MCUs). The M68HC08 Family is based on the customer-specified integrated circuit (CSIC) design strategy.

Features

Features of the MC68HC908JB16 MCU include the following:

• High-performance M68HC08 architecture

• Fully upward-compatible object code with M6805, M146805, and M68HC05 families

• Low-power design; fully static with stop and wait modes

• 6-MHz internal bus frequency

• 16,384 bytes of on-chip FLASH memory with security¹ feature

• 384 bytes of on-chip random access memory (RAM)

• Up to 21 general-purpose input/output (I/O) pins, including:

– 15 shared-function I/O pins

– 8-bit keyboard interrupt port
