Product details
Overview
MC68HC11D0CFNE3 from Freescale Semiconductor is a ROM-based 8-bit microcontroller unit (MCU) built on the MC68HC11E9 architecture, featuring 4 KB of mask-programmed ROM, 192 bytes of static RAM (retained in standby), and a 16-bit programmable timer system with four-stage prescaler. It operates at up to 3 MHz bus speed, supports single-chip and expanded multiplexed modes, and integrates SCI, SPI, pulse accumulator, COP watchdog, and RTI - used in automotive body control, industrial sensor interfaces, and legacy embedded instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MC68HC11D0CFNE3 datasheet, MC68HC11D0CFNE3 pinout, MC68HC11D0CFNE3 application, or MC68HC11D0CFNE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40-pin DIP package, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, OTPROM-free ROM execution model, and compatibility with HC11 development toolchains for deterministic real-time control without programming voltage requirements.
Technical Context
The MC68HC11D0CFNE3 implements a fully static CPU core derived from the Motorola 6800 instruction set, supporting inherent, immediate, direct, extended, indexed, and relative addressing modes. Its memory map includes 64 KB addressability with dedicated I/O register space, configuration control registers, and fixed ROM starting at $E000.
Peripheral integration includes an NRZ-format SCI with idle-line and address-mark wakeup, a master/slave SPI with configurable clock polarity and phase, and a 16-bit timer subsystem supporting input capture (IC1–IC4), output compare (OC1–OC5), and real-time interrupt generation - all mapped into memory-mapped I/O space and controlled via dedicated status, control, and data registers.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC68HC11D3CFNE3 | 4 KB OTPROM instead of mask-ROM; requires VPP = 12 V for programming; identical pinout and peripheral set | Field-upgradable firmware required; not suitable where code immutability or zero-VPP operation is mandatory | Select MC68HC11D3CFNE3 only if in-system reprogramming capability is needed; otherwise prefer MC68HC11D0CFNE3 for production stability. |
| MC68HC11E9CP | 68-pin ceramic PGA package; includes EEPROM (512 bytes) and enhanced COP features; higher pin count and different footprint | Used in high-reliability aerospace/defense designs requiring nonvolatile parameter storage and extended diagnostics | MC68HC11E9CP is not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign but offers EEPROM-based configuration persistence absent in MC68HC11D0CFNE3. |
Compared with MC68HC11D3CFNE3, MC68HC11D0CFNE3 eliminates programming voltage dependency and guarantees firmware integrity; versus MC68HC11E9CP, it trades EEPROM and package robustness for lower cost and simpler board layout in volume industrial applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC68HC11D0CFNE3?
The MC68HC11D0CFNE3 supports a maximum E-clock frequency of 6 MHz, corresponding to a 3 MHz internal bus speed. This is specified in Freescale's MC68HC711D3 Rev. 2.1 datasheet Section 9.6, with timing validated across the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range and 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply voltage.
Does the MC68HC11D0CFNE3 require a programming voltage (VPP) for normal operation?
No, the MC68HC11D0CFNE3 does not require VPP for operation. It uses mask-programmed ROM, so firmware is permanently embedded during fabrication. Unlike OTPROM variants such as MC68HC11D3CFNE3, no 12 V programming voltage is needed - simplifying power design and improving field reliability.
What package type is used for the MC68HC11D0CFNE3?
The MC68HC11D0CFNE3 is supplied in a 40-pin plastic dual in-line package (DIP), case number 711-03, with 0.3-inch lead spacing and 0.6-inch body width. This package is explicitly listed in Appendix A and Section 10.3 of the MC68HC711D3 Rev. 2.1 datasheet as the mechanical configuration for MC68HC11D0 devices.
Can the MC68HC11D0CFNE3 operate in low-power STOP mode?
Yes, the MC68HC11D0CFNE3 supports STOP mode with full static core operation: CPU, clocks, and peripherals halt while 192 bytes of SRAM and register contents are retained. Current drops to ≤10 µA at 5 V and 25°C, as confirmed in Section 4.4.1 and Table 9-3 of the official datasheet.
Is the MC68HC11D0CFNE3 pin-compatible with other HC11 variants like the MC68HC11E9?
No, the MC68HC11D0CFNE3 is not pin-compatible with the MC68HC11E9, which uses a 68-pin ceramic PGA package. However, it is pin-compatible with MC68HC11D3CFNE3 and MC68HC711D3 in the same 40-pin DIP configuration - sharing identical pin assignments, memory map, and peripheral register layout per Appendix A of the datasheet.
