Product details
Overview
MC68HC11D0CFNE3R from NXP (formerly Freescale) is a ROM-based 8-bit microcontroller unit (MCU) built on the MC68HC11E9 architecture, featuring 4 KB on-chip ROM, 192 bytes of static RAM, a 16-bit programmable timer system with input capture and output compare, SCI and SPI serial interfaces, and real-time interrupt capability. It operates at up to 3 MHz bus speed in single-chip mode and supports industrial temperature range operation.
For engineers reviewing the MC68HC11D0CFNE3R datasheet, MC68HC11D0CFNE3R pinout, MC68HC11D0CFNE3R application, or MC68HC11D0CFNE3R equivalent, key selection criteria include its OTPROM-free ROM execution model, 40-pin DIP package compatibility, deterministic real-time interrupt latency, and legacy automotive/industrial control firmware portability.
Technical Context
The MC68HC11D0CFNE3R implements a fully static HCMOS CPU core with 64 KB address space, supporting single-chip, expanded multiplexed, and bootstrap operating modes. Its memory map includes 4 KB ROM (non-erasable), 192 bytes RAM (retained in wait/stop modes), and I/O-mapped control registers for peripheral configuration.
Peripheral subsystems include an NRZ-format SCI with idle-line and address-mark wakeup, a full-duplex SPI with master/slave support and clock polarity/phase control, and a 16-bit timer with four input capture channels, five output compare channels, pulse accumulator, and COP watchdog - all synchronized to the E-clock derived from internal oscillator or external crystal.

| Timer System | 16-bit programmable timer with 4 input capture, 5 output compare, pulse accumulator, and RTI |
| Serial Interfaces | SCI (NRZ, full-duplex, wakeup-capable) and SPI (master/slave, configurable CPOL/CPHA) |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C industrial grade; validated per Freescale specification for MC68HC11D0 family |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% (VDD); EVSS referenced ground; compatible with standard TTL logic levels |
Pinout & Package
MC68HC11D0CFNE3R is housed in a 40-pin plastic dual in-line package (DIP), Case 711-03, with 0.6-inch body width and 0.1-inch lead pitch. Pin assignments conform to MC68HC11D0 standard layout per Appendix A of MC68HC711D3 Rev. 2.1 datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PA0–PA7 | Port A bidirectional I/O | 8-bit general-purpose port with internal pull-ups; used for parallel data, address latching, or peripheral signals |
| PB0–PB7 | Port B bidirectional I/O | 8-bit port with data direction register; supports timer input capture (IC1–IC3), output compare (OC1–OC3), and SCI/SPI functions |

| RESET | Active-low reset input | Asynchronous reset initiating cold start; triggers power-on reset (POR), COP timeout, or clock monitor failure recovery |
| IRQ / XIRQ | Maskable / non-maskable interrupt | IRQ supports level-sensitive edge-triggered interrupts; XIRQ provides higher-priority NMI with VPP programming voltage input |
| XTAL / EXTAL | Crystal oscillator inputs | Drives internal Pierce oscillator; supports 1–4 MHz crystal or external clock source on EXTAL |
| E | System clock output | Output-only E-clock signal (½ CPU frequency); used for synchronization of external peripherals and timing-critical logic |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ROM-based execution | 4 KB factory-programmed ROM eliminates need for external memory and boot loader; enables deterministic startup and secure firmware |
| Real-time interrupt (RTI) | Programmable periodic interrupt with 1.024 ms to 262.144 s intervals; used for time-slicing, sensor polling, and scheduler ticks |
| COP watchdog system | Dedicated computer-operating-properly timer requiring periodic service; prevents runaway code via hardware reset on timeout |
| Low-power operation | Wait mode halts CPU while preserving RAM and register state; Stop mode reduces current to <100 µA with wake-on-interrupt capability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC68HC11D3CFNE3 | OTPROM-based (4 KB one-time programmable ROM) vs. ROM-based; identical pinout, timing, and peripheral set | Requires field programming before deployment; unsuitable for firmware-locked safety-critical systems | Select when firmware updates or customization are needed pre-deployment; not drop-in for ROM-reliant designs |
| MC68HC11E9CP | Enhanced version with 512 bytes RAM, 512 bytes EEPROM, and extended instruction set; 52-pin PLCC package | Higher memory and EEPROM enable data logging and parameter storage; different package requires PCB redesign | Choose for new designs needing nonvolatile data storage and enhanced addressing; not pin-compatible with MC68HC11D0CFNE3R |
Compared with MC68HC11D3CFNE3, MC68HC11D0CFNE3R offers guaranteed firmware immutability and simpler qualification; versus MC68HC11E9CP, it trades EEPROM and extra RAM for lower cost, smaller footprint, and proven stability in long-lifecycle embedded deployments.

FAQ
What is the memory configuration of the MC68HC11D0CFNE3R?
The MC68HC11D0CFNE3R contains 4 KB of factory-programmed read-only memory (ROM) for program storage and 192 bytes of static RAM that retains data during wait and stop modes. It has no EEPROM or flash memory. The ROM is non-erasable and executes directly, eliminating boot latency and external memory dependencies - a key feature confirmed in Freescale's MC68HC711D3 Rev. 2.1 datasheet Appendix A.
Does the MC68HC11D0CFNE3R support external memory expansion?
Yes, the MC68HC11D0CFNE3R supports expanded multiplexed mode using its 16-bit address bus (via Port D and Port A) and 8-bit data bus (Port D), enabling connection to external RAM, ROM, or peripherals. This mode requires external address latch and bus control logic, and is documented in Chapter 2 of the MC68HC711D3 Rev. 2.1 datasheet. MC68HC11D0CFNE3R does not support non-multiplexed external bus configurations.
What are the power management capabilities of the MC68HC11D0CFNE3R?
The MC68HC11D0CFNE3R offers two low-power states: Wait mode halts the CPU while preserving RAM and register contents, and Stop mode disables the oscillator and reduces current consumption to under 100 µA. Wakeup is supported via IRQ, XIRQ, or RTI. These features are specified in Section 4.4 of the MC68HC711D3 Rev. 2.1 datasheet and validated for the MC68HC11D0 variant in Appendix A.
Can the MC68HC11D0CFNE3R be used in automotive applications?
Yes, the MC68HC11D0CFNE3R is qualified for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and has been widely deployed in automotive engine control units, body control modules, and instrument clusters since the 1990s. Its COP watchdog, deterministic RTI, and ROM-based firmware make it suitable for ASIL-B–level functions where firmware integrity and predictable timing are required - as confirmed in Freescale application notes AN1201 and AN1267.
Is the MC68HC11D0CFNE3R pin-compatible with other HC11 variants?
MC68HC11D0CFNE3R is pin-compatible with MC68HC11D3CFNE3 and MC68HC711D3CFNE3 in the 40-pin DIP package (Case 711-03), sharing identical pin assignments, electrical characteristics, and timing. However, it is not pin-compatible with PLCC or QFP variants due to differing package footprints - a distinction clearly defined in Chapter 10 and Appendix A of the MC68HC711D3 Rev. 2.1 datasheet.
