Replacement for MC68HRC705KJ1CDWE

[grills]

I was just notified that this part has gone obsolete. It has an end of life buy at this time, but I need to come up with a replacement part. Any suggestions or feed back would be much appreciated.

Any other suggestions and feed back would still be much appreciated...

Hello,

In addition to the MC9S08QG8, other possible possible devices available with reduced pin count packages might include -

MC9S08QB8, MC9S08QE8,  MC9S08SE8, MC9S08SG8, MC9S08SH8

Some of the devices are limited to 3.3 volt operation, whereas others are capable of 5 volt operation.  The number of peripherals will vary between devices.

Your original code will probably need to be re-written to take into account the new peripheral operational requirements (particularly the timer), and also a potentially higher bus frequency.

Mac

Mac is - as always - right. The 3.3V voltage applies to some small 9S08s.

And Mac did not mention the HC908 series probably because in some months you could be looking again for a substitute.

S08s are also much better for production line, in-circuit (re)flashing will take only one pin at bed-of-nails testing and this pin is not necessarily dedicated. Remeber that KJ1 needed to be pre-programmed before assembly.

Thanks again for the information. We actually prefer the chip to be a EPROM rather than flash. But it sounds like we are looking at a complete circuit redesign anyway. I was hoping there would be a closer match. Again thanks and any more information would be helpful as well. You guys are great...

I've upgraded KJ1 designs to MC9SQG8. It's a lot more flash, but probably a long life device and probably cheaper.

Good luck!

Cheers,

I am not able to find any information on the product.

Warning: it is NOT pin-to-pin compatible.

Well atleast it is a start. Thanks.
