Product details
Overview
MC68HC711E9VFN2 from NXP (formerly Freescale) is an 8-bit microcontroller in the M68HC11E family, featuring 512 bytes of on-chip EEPROM, 256 bytes of RAM, and a 2-channel 8-bit A/D converter. It operates at up to 3 MHz, supports single-chip and expanded modes, and includes SCI, SPI, and timer subsystems for embedded control. It is used in industrial sensor interfaces and legacy automotive body-control modules.
For engineers reviewing the MC68HC711E9VFN2 datasheet, MC68HC711E9VFN2 pinout, MC68HC711E9VFN2 application, or MC68HC711E9VFN2 equivalent, key selection criteria include EPROM programmability, 40-pin QFP package compatibility, extended voltage operation (3.0–5.5 V), and bootstrap-mode programming support via serial interface.
Technical Context
The MC68HC711E9VFN2 implements the M68HC11 CPU core with Harvard architecture, supporting 16-bit addressing and 56 instruction mnemonics. Its memory map includes 512-byte EEPROM (user-programmable), 256-byte RAM, and 12 KB of on-chip ROM containing monitor firmware and bootstrap loader.
It integrates dual 8-bit A/D channels with software-selectable conversion time (8–1024 µs), full-duplex SCI with idle-line/address-mark wakeup, and SPI master/slave mode with programmable clock polarity and phase. Reset sources include power-on, external, COP watchdog, and clock monitor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC68HC11A8CP | Same M68HC11 core but with 8 KB ROM, no EEPROM, and 48-pin DIP package | Lacks in-field reprogrammability; requires external EPROM for user code storage | Select when fixed firmware and through-hole assembly are preferred over EEPROM flexibility |
| MC912B32CPVE | Enhanced 16-bit HCS12 derivative with 32 KB Flash, CAN interface, and higher clock speed | Not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign but offers CAN bus support and larger memory | Select for new designs needing CAN connectivity or >10x code space - not a drop-in replacement |
Compared with MC68HC11A8CP and MC912B32CPVE, the MC68HC711E9VFN2 uniquely balances EEPROM-based field update capability, compact 40-pin QFP footprint, and proven reliability in long-lifecycle industrial deployments - making it optimal for maintenance-sensitive legacy upgrades.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC68HC711E9VFN2?
The MC68HC711E9VFN2 operates at a maximum CPU clock frequency of 3 MHz. This corresponds to a maximum E-clock output of 1.5 MHz, which synchronizes peripheral timing. The device is characterized for stable operation across its full 3.0–5.5 V supply range at this speed, with timing margins verified per Section 10.10 of the Rev. 5.1 datasheet.
Does the MC68HC711E9VFN2 support in-system programming?
Yes, the MC68HC711E9VFN2 supports in-system programming via its bootstrap mode, activated by holding MODA and MODB low during reset. This enables firmware updates through the SCI interface using tools like PCbug11 or the M68HC11EVBU - eliminating the need for external EPROM programmers. The 512-byte EEPROM is directly programmable in-circuit.
What are the A/D converter specifications for the MC68HC711E9VFN2?
The MC68HC711E9VFN2 features a two-channel, 8-bit successive-approximation A/D converter with conversion times ranging from 8 µs (fastest) to 1024 µs (slowest), selectable via control register. Input range is 0–VDD, and channels map to PORT A pins PA0 and PA1. Full electrical characteristics, including INL/DNL and offset error, are specified in Section 10.14 of the Rev. 5.1 datasheet.
Is the MC68HC711E9VFN2 pin-compatible with other M68HC11E family members?
The MC68HC711E9VFN2 shares the same 40-pin LQFP pinout as other M68HC11E9 variants (e.g., MC68HC711E9CFN2), including identical signal assignments for VDD/VSS, XTAL/EXTAL, E, RESET, XIRQ/VPPE, and all port signals. However, it is not pin-compatible with 48-pin or 52-pin M68HC11 derivatives due to differing package footprints and signal counts.
What development tools are officially supported for the MC68HC711E9VFN2?
Officially supported tools include the M68HC11EVBU evaluation board, PCbug11 host software, and the M68HC711E9PGMR EPROM programmer. Application notes AN1060 (Bootstrap Mode) and EB296 (Programming with PCbug11 and EVBU) provide validated procedures. NXP also provides legacy CodeWarrior IDE versions compatible with the M68HC11E family.
