Chapter 1
General Description
1.1 Introduction
The MC68HC908GR16A is a member of the low-cost, high-performance M68HC08 Family of 8-bit
microcontroller units (MCUs). All MCUs in the family use the enhanced M68HC08 central processor unit
(CPU08) and are available with a variety of modules, memory sizes and types, and package types.
1.2 Features
For convenience, features have been organized to reflect:
• Standard features
• Features of the CPU08
1.2.1 Standard Features
Features include:
• High-performance M68HC08 architecture optimized for C-compilers
• Fully upward-compatible object code with M6805, M146805, and M68HC05 Families
• 8-MHz internal bus frequency
• Clock generation module supporting 1-MHz to 8-MHz crystals
• FLASH program memory security

• On-chip programming firmware for use with host personal computer which does not require high
voltage for entry
• In-system programming (ISP)
• System protection features:
– Optional computer operating properly (COP) reset
– Low-voltage detection with optional reset and selectable trip points for 3.3-V and 5.0-V
operation
– Illegal opcode detection with reset
– Illegal address detection with reset
• Low-power design; fully static with stop and wait modes
• Standard low-power modes of operation:
– Wait mode
– Stop mode
• Master reset pin and power-on reset (POR)
• 16 Kbytes of on-chip FLASH memory
• 1 Kbyte of on-chip random-access memory (RAM)
• 406 bytes of FLASH programming routines read-only memory (ROM)

unauthorized users.
