MCS08DZ60 Evaluation Board


Posted on Jan 6, 2013

The board has been initially developed to learn with CAN, so a CAN transceiver is available (IC4). The CAN transceiver comes from Maxim, but some other manufacturers provide some compatible CAN transceivers which can be used. An RS232 transceiver is also mounted on the board to get an RS232 interface, to connect the board to a computer. It could be used for debug purpose for example. Both transceivers are connected to the microcontroller throw jumpers, so it is possible to disconnect the transceivers and use the pin of the microcontroller as classical GPIOs.

The microcontroller used is the 68HCS08DZ60, from Freescale, and coming with an LQFP32 package. It is initially a microcontroller designed for automotive applications. It has some very interesting features: - 60K of Flash memory; The other parts of the schematic are not so special, we can found: - The power supply, build around a DC/DC converter (IC1 ; a classical linear voltage regulator like 7805 can also be used without any modification of the PCB); - A LED to indicate that the board is supplied (LED1); - A switch connected on the RESET pin of the microcontroller (S1); - The crystal (Q1). Note that the crystal is connected to the microcontroller throw jumpers: the device can work with an internal clock and in this case, the pins are available as classical GPIOs. - Finally, there are some decoupling capacitors for all integrated circuits. The power of the board will be applied on K1. Any power supplied can be used if it provided between 8 to 12 Volts AC or DC. K2 will be used to connect the programming cable, and K3 gives an access to all the pins of the microcontroller. K3 is build with two arrays of connectors to plug a module on the evaluation board (see photo #1). - 4Ko of RAM; - 2Ko of EEPROM ; - Integrated CAN bus controller; - Integrated SCI controller with LIN capability; - Integrated I2C controller; - Integrated SPI controller; - Analog inputs, with a resolution of 12bits; - Timers...
