MCF8316A: DACOUTX & SOX - Pin discrepency between datasheet and Evaluation Board Schematic

Part Number: MCF8316A

The MCF8316A datasheet doesn't even have a DACOUT1 or DACOUT2 on the datasheet and the evaluation board schematic has an entirely different pinout which integrates a 32KHz Crystal Oscillator on these pins.  Could I get some clarification on the correct implementation for pins 36, 37 &38?  In other words, could you clarify the descrepency between the MCF8316A and the MCF8316AEVM pinouts (see attached)?

We are in the process of designing the part into our design and need a clear understanding of the function and implementation of these pins.  I'm unable to measure the SOX output (pin 38) on the EVM module.  From the MCF8316_GUI, within the "Device and Pin Configuration" section, changing the value of register "PIN_38_CONFIG" doesn't change the output of pin 38 - remains at 0V with no signal output.

  • McKay,

    Please ignore the MCF8316A schematic in Altium designer. Pinout in the datasheet is accurate. Pin 36 and 37 can be left open. Pin 38 is SOx pin. Configure [PIN_38_CONFIG] bits in  DEVICE_CONFIG1 Register to SOA/SOB/SOC. 

    Regards,
