Product Overview
The MC9S08SH16MTJ is a low-cost 8-bit microcontroller from NXP Semiconductors based on the enhanced S08 (formerly HCS08) core architecture. Part of the S08SH family, this device offers 16KB of in-system programmable Flash memory, 1KB of RAM, and a rich peripheral set including 12-channel 10-bit ADC, analog comparator, multiple serial communication interfaces (SCI, SPI, I²C), and flexible timer/PWM modules. Operating at up to 40MHz CPU speed (20MHz bus) with a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V, the MC9S08SH16MTJ is housed in a 20-pin TSSOP package and is automotive qualified (AEC-Q100). It serves as an excellent general-purpose 8-bit MCU for cost-sensitive 5V applications in automotive body electronics, industrial control, and consumer appliances.
