16-bit DSP/MCU for motor-control and industrial loops
The NXP MC56F8123VFBE is a 16-bit microcontroller built around the 56800E core, clocked at 40 MHz. It integrates 32 KB of Flash program memory and 8 KB of RAM.
40 MHz core — what it buys the control loop
At 40 MHz, the 56800E core executes a single-cycle 16×16 multiply-accumulate.
Memory sizing — firmware fit and data buffer budget
The 32 KB Flash (organized as 16K x 16) holds the bootloader, main control firmware, and a modest lookup table for sine/cosine or SVPWM. The 8 KB of RAM is shared between data buffers, stack, and the ADC result registers.
Industrial temperature grade — deployment boundaries
Rated for -40°C to 105°C ambient, the MC56F8123VFBE is qualified for the industrial range without derating.
Package and footprint — 64-LQFP 10x10 mm
Housed in a 64-lead LQFP with a 10x10 mm body, the MC56F8123VFBE fits a standard four-layer PCB.
Lifecycle and sourcing — active, no LTB pressure
NXP lists the MC56F8123VFBE as Active on the product status. There is no last-time-buy notice or NRND flag in the current lifecycle record.
