The document provides technical specifications and parametrics for the MC68008, a member of the M68000 Family. It describes the device as a cost-effective solution that allows system design using 8-bit data buses while providing the benefits of a 32-bit microprocessor architecture.
Key features include full code compatibility with the MC68000, allowing programs to run on either processor depending on performance and cost requirements. The document details the programming model, which includes 17 32-bit registers, addressing modes, instruction set variations, and signal descriptions for both 48-pin and 52-pin packages.
A system implementation based on an 8-bit data bus reduces system cost due to more effective use of components and byte-wide memories.
Yes, it has full code compatibility (source and object) with the MC68000.
It is available in a 48-pin dual-in-line package and a 52-pin quad plastic package.
