Title: MOTOROLA MC68332ACFC16 QFP-132 32-Bit question Post by: PM3295 on January 10, 2021, 06:29:49 18:29 People,
I am repairing an old multi-phase power meter that uses this CPU. From the data sheet, it is an ROMLESS device. I suspect that the CPU may have some non functional ports. Will it be possible to replace this, since I assume all the code lives outside the CPU? I already read all the surrounding EPROMs and they "appear" to be ok. Any advice as always, much appreciated.

The only hassle I see is 132 pins to desolder. Oh, by the way, this MCU made by Freescale nowadays. Title: Re: MOTOROLA MC68332ACFC16 QFP-132 32-Bit question Post by: metal on January 10, 2021, 09:59:38 21:59 watch those:

It would make this so much easier. If anyone has a schematic copy of a XITRON 2500 power analyzer, please share. I could not find anything searching the Internet.

It also looks much better with a face-lift. The old lcd display was really hard to read on the bench if you don't have direct lighting on the unit.
