Product details
Overview
MC68HC11K1CFUE3 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale/Motorola) is an 8-bit HCMOS microcontroller unit featuring 512 bytes of on-chip EEPROM, 512 bytes of RAM, and 24 KB of ROM. It integrates a 16-bit timer system with input capture/output compare, 8-channel 8-bit ADC, SCI and SPI serial interfaces, and operates at up to 2 MHz bus frequency in single-chip mode. It is used in automotive body control modules and industrial sensor interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the MC68HC11K1CFUE3 datasheet, MC68HC11K1CFUE3 pinout, MC68HC11K1CFUE3 application, or MC68HC11K1CFUE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include EEPROM endurance (10,000 write/erase cycles), guaranteed operation over –40°C to +85°C, and compatibility with legacy M68HC11 development tools and assembly-language firmware.
Technical Context
The MC68HC11K1CFUE3 implements the classic M68HC11 CPU core with full instruction set compatibility, including indexed, extended, and relative addressing modes. Its memory architecture supports single-chip, expanded, and bootstrap operating modes, with on-chip ROM mapped at $E000–$FFFF and EEPROM at $D000–$D1FF.
Peripheral integration includes a 16-bit timer subsystem with four input capture registers, three output compare channels, pulse accumulator, real-time interrupt, and PWM capability - all clocked from the internal E-clock derived from the crystal oscillator or external source via XTAL/EXTAL pins.

| Hardware PWM generation | Four independent PWM channels with programmable period and duty cycle - eliminates need for external timers in motor control or LED dimming |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control | Industrial Sensor Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Centralized control of door locks, window lifts, and interior lighting in passenger vehicles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main MCU executing state-machine logic, polling switches, driving relays/LEDs, and communicating via SCI with dashboard cluster. Use Value: On-chip EEPROM stores user preferences (e.g., auto-up/down window position); COP watchdog ensures fail-safe lock actuation during voltage transients. | Use Scenario: Analog sensor signal conditioning and digital reporting in factory-floor temperature/humidity monitors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: ADC digitizes sensor outputs; SCI transmits readings to PLC over RS-232; timer triggers periodic sampling every 500 ms. Use Value: Integrated 8-channel ADC eliminates external multiplexer; 5 V tolerance simplifies interface with legacy 4–20 mA transmitters. |
| Legacy Equipment Retrofit | Education & Training Platform |
Use Scenario: Replacement controller for discontinued OEM HVAC controllers requiring drop-in compatibility. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Pin- and firmware-compatible upgrade path for M68HC11E9-based designs; retains same memory map and interrupt vectors. Use Value: 24 KB ROM provides space for enhanced diagnostics and bootloader; same PLCC-84 footprint avoids PCB redesign. | Use Scenario: Microcontroller lab curriculum teaching assembly programming, peripheral configuration, and real-time interrupt handling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Instructional MCU demonstrating memory-mapped I/O, SCI echo loopback, and timer-driven LED blinking with precise 1 Hz period. Use Value: Full documentation, free assembler toolchain (HC11ASM), and widely available evaluation boards lower barrier to entry for embedded learning. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC68HC11E9CP2 | Same core, 512 B RAM, 512 B EEPROM, but 512 B ROM only; requires external memory expansion for larger code | Limited to smaller firmware footprints; lacks integrated 24 KB ROM | Select when cost-sensitive and code size ≤512 B; verify external memory interface design |
| MC9S12XDP512 | 16-bit HCS12X core, 512 KB flash, CAN interface, higher performance; not binary-compatible | Requires full firmware rewrite; adds CAN bus support for distributed systems | Select for new designs needing CAN, larger memory, or higher throughput; not a drop-in replacement |
Compared with MC68HC11E9CP2, MC68HC11K1CFUE3 offers 24× more on-chip ROM for standalone operation; compared with MC9S12XDP512, it provides proven reliability in legacy environments but lacks modern peripherals like CAN and flash security features.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC68HC11K1CFUE3?
The MC68HC11K1CFUE3 supports a maximum bus frequency of 2 MHz, derived from its internal clock generator. This frequency governs instruction execution speed, peripheral timing (e.g., SCI baud rate generation), and ADC conversion time. Operation above this limit is not guaranteed and may result in undefined behavior or data corruption.
Does the MC68HC11K1CFUE3 include a hardware watchdog timer?
Yes, the MC68HC11K1CFUE3 includes a Computer Operating Properly (COP) watchdog timer with programmable timeout ranging from 0.5 ms to 1.0 s. It uses an independent RC oscillator and must be serviced by firmware writes to the arm/reset register; failure to do so triggers a hardware reset. This feature is documented in Section 5.3.3 of the M68HC11K Family Technical Data.
How much EEPROM memory does the MC68HC11K1CFUE3 have, and what is its endurance?
The MC68HC11K1CFUE3 contains 512 bytes of on-chip EEPROM, rated for a minimum of 10,000 write/erase cycles per location. This memory retains data without power and is commonly used for storing calibration constants, device IDs, or user settings. Endurance is specified under standard operating conditions (5 V, 25°C) per Freescale's M68HC11K Family datasheet Section 12.13.
Is the MC68HC11K1CFUE3 pin-compatible with other M68HC11 variants?
The MC68HC11K1CFUE3 in the 84-pin PLCC package shares identical pinout with other M68HC11K-series devices in the same package variant (e.g., MC68HC11K4CFUE3), including power, clock, reset, and peripheral signal assignments. However, it is not pin-compatible with 68-pin or 80-pin variants due to differing pin counts and signal mappings.
What development tools support the MC68HC11K1CFUE3?
The MC68HC11K1CFUE3 is supported by legacy Freescale tools including the BUFFALO monitor (bootloader), HI-TECH C compiler, and ASM11 assembler. Hardware debuggers such as the P&E Micro USB-ML-12 and TURBO-PROG programmers provide in-circuit programming and debugging via the MODA/MODB pins. Documentation and toolchains remain publicly archived by NXP.
