Product details
Overview
MC68HC711E9CFNE2 from NXP (formerly Motorola) is an 8-bit HCMOS microcontroller unit with 512 bytes of on-chip EEPROM, 256 bytes of RAM, and a 512-byte EPROM program memory. It features a 2-channel 8-bit A/D converter, SCI and SPI serial interfaces, and a 16-bit timer system with input capture/output compare. It is used in industrial control modules requiring nonvolatile program storage and analog sensor interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the MC68HC711E9CFNE2 datasheet, MC68HC711E9CFNE2 pinout, MC68HC711E9CFNE2 application, or MC68HC711E9CFNE2 equivalent, key selection criteria include EPROM programmability, on-chip EEPROM retention, single-chip mode operation, 52-pin PLCC package compatibility, and support for bootstrap programming via SCI.
Technical Context
The MC68HC711E9CFNE2 implements the M68HC11 CPU core with full instruction set compatibility and executes code from internal EPROM or external memory in expanded mode. Its memory map includes fixed I/O register space, configurable RAM/EEPROM mapping, and dedicated EPROM address range starting at $E000.
It supports four operating modes: single-chip (default), expanded, test, and bootstrap - the latter enabling in-system programming via SCI using PCbug11 host software. The device integrates a COP watchdog, real-time interrupt, pulse accumulator, and dual serial peripherals with independent baud rate generation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC68HC11E20CP | Same core, 20 kB EPROM (vs. 512 B), no on-chip EEPROM, 64-pin QFP package | Suitable for larger firmware images but requires external EEPROM for data storage | Select when firmware size exceeds 512 B and board layout accommodates 64-pin QFP |
| MC9RS08KA2CSC | Freescale RS08 core, 2 kB Flash, 128 B RAM, integrated debug interface, 8-pin SOIC option | Lower cost and power, but lacks A/D, SPI, and legacy M68HC11 toolchain compatibility | Select for new designs prioritizing low-cost, low-power, and modern IDE support over legacy code reuse |
Compared with MC68HC711E9CFNE2, MC68HC11E20CP offers greater program memory but sacrifices EEPROM integration and increases footprint; MC9RS08KA2CSC reduces size and cost but abandons M68HC11 instruction compatibility and peripheral richness needed for analog-intensive legacy upgrades.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the MC68HC711E9CFNE2?
The MC68HC711E9CFNE2 operates with a maximum crystal frequency of 4 MHz, yielding an E-clock of 2 MHz. This is specified in Section 11.4 (Functional Operating Range) and confirmed by timing constraints in Section 11.10 (Control Timing). Exceeding this frequency risks setup/hold violations in internal logic and peripheral registers. The MC68HC711E9CFNE2 does not support higher-speed variants like the 8 MHz MC68HC11E20.
Does the MC68HC711E9CFNE2 support in-system programming without external hardware?
Yes - the MC68HC711E9CFNE2 supports bootstrap programming via its built-in SCI interface using host tools like PCbug11 and the M68HC11EVBU. This enables firmware updates directly through a serial connection without UV erasers or dedicated programmers. The process is documented in AN1060 and EB296 application notes, and requires no external EPROM programmer hardware.
How is EEPROM protected against accidental writes in the MC68HC711E9CFNE2?
The MC68HC711E9CFNE2 uses a two-step write enable sequence: first writing $55 to the EEPROM Programming Register (PPROG), then $AA, followed by the actual data byte. Additionally, the Block Protect Register (BPROT) allows locking specific EEPROM blocks. These protections are detailed in Section 4.6.1 and prevent unintended modification during normal operation or power transients.
What packaging and lead finish does the MC68HC711E9CFNE2 use?
The MC68HC711E9CFNE2 uses a 52-pin Plastic-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package (Case 778) with matte tin (Sn) lead finish, compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. This is confirmed in Section 12.3 (Mechanical Data) and ordering information tables in Section 13.3. The "FNE2" suffix explicitly denotes the PLCC-52 package with industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
Can the MC68HC711E9CFNE2 operate in expanded bus mode?
Yes - the MC68HC711E9CFNE2 supports expanded mode via the MODA/MODB pins, enabling external memory and peripheral interfacing using a multiplexed address/data bus (AD0–AD7 on PORT D). This mode is configured via the System Configuration Register (CONFIG) and requires external address latching. Details are in Section 4.3.2 and Figure 4-1 (Address/Data Demultiplexing).
