Product details
Overview
MC68S711E9CFN2 from Motorola is an 8-bit HCMOS microcontroller unit (MCU) featuring 512 bytes of on-chip EEPROM, 256 bytes of RAM, a 10-bit A/D converter with 8 input channels, two 16-bit timer modules, and dual serial interfaces (SCI and SPI). It operates at up to 3 MHz in single-chip mode and supports bootstrap programming for field firmware updates - used in industrial motor control and embedded sensor interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the MC68S711E9CFN2 datasheet, MC68S711E9CFN2 pinout, MC68S711E9CFN2 application, or MC68S711E9CFN2 equivalent, key selection considerations include its OTP/EPROM-programmable flash-like memory architecture, COP watchdog reliability, E-clock timing synchronization, and compatibility with legacy M68HC11 development tools including EVBU and PCbug11.
Technical Context
The MC68S711E9CFN2 implements the M68HC11 CPU core with full instruction set compatibility, supporting single-chip, expanded, bootstrap, and test operating modes. Its memory subsystem includes 512-byte EEPROM with block protection, 256-byte RAM, and 2 KB of internal ROM containing monitor firmware.
Peripheral integration includes a 10-bit successive-approximation A/D converter with programmable conversion sequence, two independent 16-bit timer systems (input capture/output compare), SCI with wakeup capability, and SPI master/slave operation - all controlled via dedicated register sets mapped into the MCU's I/O space.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | M68HC11 8-bit CISC architecture, fully compatible with HC11 instruction set and addressing modes |
| Max Clock Frequency | 3 MHz E-clock - defines maximum instruction execution rate and peripheral timing margins |
| On-Chip Memory | 512 bytes EEPROM (user-programmable, nonvolatile), 256 bytes RAM, 2 KB ROM (monitor firmware) |
| A/D Converter | 10-bit resolution, 8-channel multiplexed input, software- or timer-triggered conversion |
| Serial Interfaces | SCI (asynchronous UART) + SPI (synchronous master/slave), both with dedicated status/control registers |
| Timer System | Dual 16-bit timers with input capture, output compare, pulse accumulation, and real-time interrupt (RTI) capability |
| Operating Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard TTL/CMOS logic levels and industrial power rails |
Pinout & Package
MC68S711E9CFN2 is housed in a 52-pin Plastic-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package (Case 778), with lead pitch of 0.05 inches and body size 19.05 mm × 19.05 mm. Pin assignments follow the standard M68HC11E9 PLCC layout defined in Section 2.1 of the Rev. 3.2 Technical Data document.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD, VSS | Power supply and ground | Primary 5 V DC supply and return; decoupling required within 1 cm for stable operation |
| XTAL / EXTAL | Crystal oscillator input/output | Supports parallel-resonant crystal (1–4 MHz) or external clock source for system timing reference |
| E | System clock output | Provides buffered E-clock signal (½ oscillator frequency) for synchronizing external peripherals |
| RESET | Active-low reset input | Asynchronous hardware reset; initiates CPU restart and memory map initialization |
| IRQ / XIRQ | Maskable and non-maskable interrupt inputs | Enable prioritized event handling; XIRQ bypasses I-bit masking for critical fault conditions |
| PORT A–E | Programmable bidirectional I/O ports | Port A: 8-bit general-purpose I/O; Port B: 8-bit with alternate timer/serial functions; Ports C–E: mixed digital I/O and analog input (A/D) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bootstrap Programming Mode | Enables in-system firmware loading via SCI without external programmer - reduces production test complexity |
| EEPROM Security Protection | Configurable block-level write protection prevents unauthorized firmware overwrite or reverse engineering |
| COP Watchdog Timer | Independent clocked watchdog with timeout configurable via OPTION register - recovers from software lockup |
| Low-Power Wait/Stop Modes | Reduces current draw to <100 µA in Stop mode - extends battery life in portable sensor nodes |
| Integrated A/D with Auto-Scan | Hardware-controlled sequential conversion across up to 8 channels eliminates CPU polling overhead |

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 and peripherals, but in 52-pin ceramic-leaded chip carrier (CLCC); higher temperature rating (–40°C to +125°C) | Suitable for under-hood automotive or high-reliability industrial environments where extended thermal range is required | Select MC68HC11E9CP2 only when operating ambient exceeds 85°C or hermetic packaging is mandated |
| MC68HC11E20CFN2 | Enhanced variant with 20 KB EPROM (vs. 2 KB ROM + 512B EEPROM), no on-chip EEPROM, same PLCC-52 package | Better suited for fixed-function applications requiring larger program storage but no field-upgradable nonvolatile data storage | Choose MC68HC11E20CFN2 when firmware size exceeds 2 KB and EEPROM data logging is unnecessary |
Compared with MC68HC11E9CP2 and MC68HC11E20CFN2, the MC68S711E9CFN2 uniquely balances field-programmable EEPROM capacity, industrial-grade plastic packaging, and full bootstrap capability - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, upgradeable embedded controllers where firmware revision control and moderate nonvolatile data retention are essential.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC68S711E9CFN2?
The MC68S711E9CFN2 supports a maximum E-clock frequency of 3 MHz, derived from an external crystal or oscillator connected to XTAL/EXTAL pins. This corresponds to a 6 MHz oscillator input (since E-clock = ½ oscillator frequency), enabling deterministic instruction timing and peripheral synchronization within industrial control loops.
Does the MC68S711E9CFN2 include on-chip EEPROM, and how is it protected?
Yes, the MC68S711E9CFN2 integrates 512 bytes of on-chip EEPROM. Protection is implemented via the Block Protect Register (BPROT), allowing selective write-protection of EEPROM blocks to prevent accidental or malicious firmware corruption - a key feature for secure field updates.
Can the MC68S711E9CFN2 be programmed in-circuit without a dedicated programmer?
Yes, the MC68S711E9CFN2 supports bootstrap programming mode, enabling firmware download and EEPROM programming directly through its SCI interface using standard UART signals - eliminating need for external EPROM programmers in production or service environments.
What are the power supply requirements for reliable operation of the MC68S711E9CFN2?
The MC68S711E9CFN2 requires a regulated 4.5 V to 5.5 V DC supply on VDD, with VSS grounded. Decoupling capacitors (0.1 µF ceramic + 10 µF tantalum) must be placed within 1 cm of the VDD/VSS pins to suppress switching noise and ensure stable reset behavior and A/D accuracy.
Is the MC68S711E9CFN2 pin-compatible with other M68HC11E family members in the same PLCC-52 package?
Yes, the MC68S711E9CFN2 shares identical pinout and electrical characteristics with other M68HC11E9 variants in the 52-pin PLCC package (e.g., MC68HC11E9CP2, MC68HC11E9CFN1), enabling direct substitution where EEPROM capacity and plastic packaging meet design requirements.
