The Freescale Semiconductor MC68882RC33A is a 33 MHz MC68882-family floating-point coprocessor in a 68-position pin-grid-array package, intended principally for M68000-family processor systems.
The MC68882 architecture and pin groups are documented in Motorola's technical summary, preserved by NXP. Verify the complete order code and board interface before replacement.
The MC68882 extends the arithmetic capabilities of an M68000-family host with hardware floating-point operations and dedicated floating-point registers. Motorola describes direct coprocessor use with the MC68020 and MC68030 and peripheral-processor arrangements with other M68000-family systems.
Implements the IEEE 754-1985 binary floating-point architecture described in the Motorola summary.
Uses the M68000 coprocessor interface to extend the host instruction model.
The documented interface supports 8-, 16- and 32-bit system data-bus configurations.
Eight general-purpose 80-bit floating-point data registers support extended-format computation.
The technical summary documents 46 floating-point instructions, including arithmetic, conversion and transcendental operations.
Supports integer and floating-point operand formats described in the Motorola manual, including extended precision.
Control and status registers support rounding modes, condition codes and exception handling.
The original Motorola ordering list identifies MC68882RC33A as the 33 MHz PGA option; detailed AC limits depend on test conditions.
The original Motorola order list identifies the RC33A option as a PGA. The technical summary includes a pin-grid-array pin assignment. The LCDChip original package field is 68-BCPGA, a 68-position ceramic PGA catalog class. Confirm the exact mechanical case and pin grid against the controlled drawing and the actual supplied device.

The expected package JPG is not available on the production site; use the controlled package drawing for mechanical verification.
Motorola's MC68882 technical summary identifies these functional signal groups for the PGA configuration. The summary does not replace its coordinate-specific pin-assignment diagram.
Confirm pin coordinates, active levels, strapping and electrical timing in the original MC68882 document before routing or socket substitution.

The family electrical tables state their measurement conditions; do not infer guaranteed operation outside those conditions or assume a different MC68882 suffix is equivalent.
Motorola describes MC68882 family compatibility with the earlier MC68881 architecture, but this does not establish unconditional board-level interchange for every order code. Check exact PGA footprint, pin coordinates, host coprocessor protocol, clock grade, supply, thermal range and software exception behavior. No alternative catalog product is asserted as an exact drop-in replacement here.
The LCDChip product record names Freescale Semiconductor. The original MC68882 technical literature and ordering information were issued by Motorola; NXP currently hosts the archived technical summary. This historical naming does not change the exact product identification required for procurement and engineering review.
Floating-point acceleration through the documented M68000 coprocessor interface.
Maintenance of processor boards requiring hardware floating-point instructions.
Selected M68000-family systems using the documented bus interface.
Repair of equipment originally designed for an MC68882 PGA device.
For a legacy PGA part, verify the complete top marking, physical package, pin condition, traceability and functional behavior against original Motorola documentation. This catalog description does not establish the provenance or electrical condition of an individual unit.
No. It is a floating-point coprocessor that operates with a compatible host processor and bus interface.
The original Motorola ordering list identifies MC68882RC33A as a 33 MHz PGA option. Confirm the complete suffix on the supplied unit.
No. PGA and plastic leaded-carrier packages have different mechanical interfaces and require separate board checks.
No. The expected production JPG is currently unavailable, so the manufacturer's controlled drawing is required.
Verify the exact order code, package drawing, PGA pin assignment, board voltage, bus strapping, clock/timing conditions and host software behavior before substitution. The production package reference JPG is missing and must not be used as evidence of mechanical compatibility.
