Product details
Overview
MC68HC711D3CFNE3 from NXP (formerly Freescale) is a HCMOS 8-bit microcontroller with 4 KB OTPROM, 192 bytes static RAM, and a 16-bit programmable timer system. 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 legacy industrial control and automotive subsystems requiring deterministic real-time response.
For engineers reviewing the MC68HC711D3CFNE3 datasheet, MC68HC711D3CFNE3 pinout, MC68HC711D3CFNE3 application, or MC68HC711D3CFNE3 equivalent, key selection factors include OTPROM programmability, 40-pin DIP package compatibility, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, and support for legacy HC11 instruction set and memory-mapped I/O architecture.
Technical Context
The MC68HC711D3CFNE3 implements the MC68HC11 CPU core with full backward compatibility to the MC6805 and MC6801 families. Its memory map includes 64 KB address space, with on-chip 4 KB OTPROM mapped to $E000–$EFFF and 192-byte RAM at $0080–$00FF, all retained in STOP/WAIT low-power modes.
Peripheral integration includes a 16-bit timer with four input capture/compare channels, NRZ-format SCI supporting wakeup via idle-line or address-mark detection, and SPI master/slave operation with configurable clock polarity and phase. The COP watchdog and RTI circuit provide fail-safe timing supervision independent of main program flow.

| Peripherals | SCI (asynchronous serial), SPI (synchronous serial), 16-bit timer with IC/OC, pulse accumulator, COP, RTI |
Pinout & Package
MC68HC711D3CFNE3 is packaged in a 40-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), Case 711-03, with 0.6-inch body width and 0.1-inch lead pitch. Pin assignments follow standard HC11 DIP layout with multiplexed address/data bus on Port D and dedicated control signals including RESET, IRQ, XIRQ/VPP, E-clock, XTAL/EXTAL, R/W, and AS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PA0–PA7 | Port A bidirectional I/O | General-purpose parallel I/O with internal pull-ups; PA0–PA3 also serve as timer input capture inputs (IC1–IC4) |

| RESET | Active-low reset input | Asynchronous reset that initializes CPU registers, disables peripherals, and forces boot mode |
| IRQ | Maskable interrupt request | Level-sensitive input triggering lowest-priority hardware interrupt; edge-triggered option via configuration |
| XIRQ/VPP | Non-maskable interrupt / programming voltage | High-priority NMI input; during OTPROM programming, accepts 12.5 V VPP for write enable |
| XTAL / EXTAL | Crystal oscillator inputs | Drive external 3.2768 kHz to 4 MHz crystal or connect to external clock source on EXTAL |
| E | External clock output | Provides synchronized 1/2 or 1/4 bus clock for external logic synchronization and timing reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 4 KB OTPROM | Field-programmable nonvolatile storage for firmware; eliminates need for external EPROM and UV eraser |
| 192-byte static RAM | Fully retained during STOP/WAIT modes - enables ultra-low-power wake-on-event operation |
| 16-bit timer with 4 IC/OC channels | Supports precise pulse-width measurement, frequency generation, and quadrature decoding without CPU overhead |
| SCI with wakeup capability | Reduces system power by enabling deep sleep until valid serial frame arrives - critical for battery-backed nodes |
| COP watchdog timer | Hardware-enforced timeout resets CPU if software hangs - mandatory for safety-critical industrial firmware |
| Single-chip and expanded modes | Enables migration from simple embedded control to systems requiring external memory or peripherals via multiplexed bus |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Control | Automotive Body Controller |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Closed-loop DC motor speed regulation using PWM output and tachometer feedback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MCU executes PID loop, generates OC-driven PWM, captures tach pulses via IC pins, and communicates status over SCI. Use Value: On-chip timer IC/OC and 192-byte RAM allow deterministic 1 ms control loop with zero external timing components. |
Use Scenario: Centralized door lock, window lift, and mirror control in entry-level vehicles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Manages discrete I/O, debounces switches, drives relays/LEDs, and exchanges commands with main ECU via SCI. Use Value: OTPROM ensures firmware immutability post-assembly; COP watchdog prevents latch-up in harsh electrical environments. |
| Legacy HVAC Controller | Test Equipment Firmware Loader |
Use Scenario: Temperature monitoring and fan speed modulation in commercial air handlers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reads thermistor ADC (via external converter), controls fan via PWM, logs events to EEPROM, and reports via RS-232 (SCI). Use Value: 3 MHz bus speed and integrated SCI reduce BOM cost vs. adding UART bridge IC; 40-pin DIP simplifies through-hole prototyping. |
Use Scenario: In-system programming interface for field-upgradable modules using serial bootloader. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Host processor receives firmware image over SCI, validates checksum, and writes to OTPROM using XIRQ/VPP high-voltage sequence. Use Value: Dedicated VPP pin and OTPROM architecture eliminate need for external programmer hardware - enables factory or depot reprogramming. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC68HC11D3CP | ROM-based (not OTPROM); identical pinout, timing, and peripheral set; requires mask ROM fabrication | Fixed firmware only - unsuitable for prototyping or low-volume customization | Select when firmware is finalized and volume justifies mask ROM NRE cost |
| MC912B32CPV | Enhanced HC12 core; 32 KB FLASH, 2 KB RAM, higher 8 MHz bus speed; different pinout and memory map | Requires PCB redesign and firmware porting; supports CAN 2.0B and enhanced debug features | Select for new designs needing FLASH reprogrammability, CAN, or higher performance - not drop-in compatible |
Compared with MC68HC11D3CP and MC912B32CPV, the MC68HC711D3CFNE3 uniquely balances field-programmable OTPROM, 40-pin DIP compatibility, and proven industrial temperature reliability - making it the only choice for maintaining legacy systems where firmware updates are infrequent but essential.

FAQ
What is the programming voltage required for OTPROM on the MC68HC711D3CFNE3?
The MC68HC711D3CFNE3 requires 12.5 V applied to the XIRQ/VPP pin during OTPROM programming cycles. This high-voltage signal enables the internal charge pump for oxide breakdown and bit programming. Standard 5 V operation resumes immediately after programming completes. Always verify voltage tolerance and timing per Section 2.4 of the Rev. 2.1 datasheet before initiating write sequences.
Does the MC68HC711D3CFNE3 support in-circuit debugging?
The MC68HC711D3CFNE3 does not include on-chip debug interfaces like BDM or JTAG. Debugging relies on external tools such as logic analyzers monitoring E-clock and bus signals, or using the onboard COP and RTI to validate timing behavior. The absence of dedicated debug hardware means firmware validation must occur pre-deployment or via SCI-based diagnostic messaging implemented in user code.
Can the MC68HC711D3CFNE3 operate from a 3.3 V supply?
No. The MC68HC711D3CFNE3 is specified only for 5.0 V ±10% operation (4.5 V to 5.5 V). It lacks internal level-shifting or voltage regulation and will not function reliably below 4.5 V. For 3.3 V systems, external level translators are required on all I/O and bus lines, and the oscillator must be driven with a 5 V-compatible clock source.
What is the function of the MODA and MODB pins on the MC68HC711D3CFNE3?
MODA/LIR and MODB/VSTBY are mode-select inputs that configure the MC68HC711D3CFNE3's operating mode at reset: MODA=low/MODB=low selects Single-Chip Mode; MODA=high/MODB=low selects Expanded Multiplexed Mode; MODA=low/MODB=high enters Special Bootstrap Mode for PROM programming. These pins must be hardwired or pulled via resistors - they are sampled only during reset assertion.
Is the MC68HC711D3CFNE3 pin-compatible with the MC68HC11E9?
No. While the MC68HC711D3CFNE3 shares the same HC11 instruction set and peripheral architecture as the MC68HC11E9, it uses a 40-pin DIP package versus the E9's 52-pin PLCC. Pin functions differ significantly - especially for address/data bus mapping and interrupt routing - and memory maps are not identical. Direct replacement requires PCB redesign and firmware adaptation.
