Product details
Overview
MC68HC711E9CFN3 from Freescale Semiconductor is an 8-bit microcontroller in the M68HC11E family, featuring 512 bytes of on-chip RAM, 12 KB of EPROM, and integrated peripherals including a 8-channel 8-bit ADC, SCI, SPI, and a 16-bit timer system. It operates at up to 3 MHz in single-chip mode and supports bootstrap programming via serial interface for embedded control applications in industrial automation and automotive subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the MC68HC711E9CFN3 datasheet, MC68HC711E9CFN3 pinout, MC68HC711E9CFN3 application, or MC68HC711E9CFN3 equivalent, key selection criteria include EPROM programmability, on-chip ADC resolution and channel count, SCI/SPI interface availability, single-chip mode operation, and compatibility with legacy HC11 development tools and debuggers.
Technical Context
The MC68HC711E9CFN3 implements the M68HC11 CPU core with full instruction set compatibility, supporting direct, indexed, extended, and inherent addressing modes. Its memory map includes 12 KB of user-programmable EPROM (with on-chip programming capability), 512 bytes of RAM, and configurable I/O mapping via the RAM and I/O Mapping Register (RIOMR).
Peripherals are tightly integrated: the 8-channel 8-bit ADC supports single- and multi-channel conversion with software- or timer-triggered start; the SCI provides full-duplex asynchronous communication with idle-line and address-mark wakeup; the SPI supports master/slave operation with programmable clock polarity and phase; and the 16-bit timer includes input capture, output compare, and real-time interrupt functions.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC68HC11E9CP | Same core, 52-pin DIP package; lacks PLCC thermal performance and surface-mount compatibility | Better suited for through-hole prototyping or legacy repair; not recommended for new SMT designs | Select MC68HC11E9CP only when DIP socketing or manual rework is required |
| MC68HC11A8CP | 8 KB EPROM, no on-chip ADC; requires external ADC for analog sensing | Lower-cost option where analog inputs are unnecessary or handled externally | Choose MC68HC11A8CP only if application needs <8 KB code space and no integrated ADC |
Compared with MC68HC11E9CP and MC68HC11A8CP, the MC68HC711E9CFN3 offers superior integration (12 KB EPROM + 8-channel ADC in PLCC), enabling smaller BOMs and higher reliability in space-constrained industrial modules-without requiring layout changes or external support ICs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC68HC711E9CFN3?
The MC68HC711E9CFN3 supports a maximum E-clock frequency of 3 MHz, derived from a 6 MHz crystal input via internal divide-by-2 circuitry. This timing governs all CPU execution, peripheral operation, and ADC conversion rates. Exceeding this limit risks undefined behavior or failure to meet AC timing specifications per Rev. 5.1 datasheet Section 10.10.
Does the MC68HC711E9CFN3 support in-system programming?
Yes, the MC68HC711E9CFN3 supports in-system EPROM programming via its bootstrap mode using the SCI interface and the XIRQ/VPPE pin as the 12 V VPP source. Programming requires a valid bootstrap loader (e.g., PCbug11) and adheres to timing and voltage requirements detailed in Section 2.4 of the Rev. 5.1 datasheet.
How many analog input channels does the MC68HC711E9CFN3 ADC provide?
The MC68HC711E9CFN3 integrates an 8-bit successive-approximation ADC with eight dedicated analog input channels (AN0–AN7), mapped to Port E pins PE0–PE7. All channels share a common reference (VRL/V RH) and support single- or multi-channel conversion sequences triggered by software or timer events.
What package type is used for the MC68HC711E9CFN3?
The MC68HC711E9CFN3 uses a 52-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with 0.050" lead pitch (JEDEC MS-026 compliant). This surface-mount package enables compact board layouts and reliable thermal performance in industrial control modules.
Is the MC68HC711E9CFN3 pin-compatible with other M68HC11E-series devices?
Yes, the MC68HC711E9CFN3 shares identical pinout and electrical characteristics with other 52-pin PLCC variants in the M68HC11E family (e.g., MC68HC11E9CFN, MC68HC11E20CFN), enabling direct substitution where EPROM size and ADC requirements align-subject to verification of CONFIG register settings and memory map configuration.
