General Description
1.1 Introduction
The MC68HC908GZ16 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
• MSCAN08 (implementing 2.0b protocol as defined in BOSCH specification dated September 1991)
• FLASH program memory security⁽¹⁾
• On-chip programming firmware for use with host personal computer which does not require high
voltage for entry
• In-system programming (ISP)
1. No security feature is absolutely secure. However, Freescale’s strategy is to make reading or copying the FLASH difficult for
unauthorized users.
