Product details
Overview
MC711K4CFNE3 from Freescale Semiconductor is an 8-bit HCMOS microcontroller unit (MCU) in the M68HC11K family, featuring 4 KB of OTPROM, 192 bytes of RAM, and integrated peripherals including SCI, SPI, A/D converter, PWM, and timer subsystems. It operates at up to 2 MHz bus frequency and supports single-chip and expanded modes for embedded control in industrial instrumentation and automotive subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the MC711K4CFNE3 datasheet, MC711K4CFNE3 pinout, MC711K4CFNE3 application, or MC711K4CFNE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include OTPROM size, 84-pin PLCC package compatibility, on-chip EEPROM programming capability, and support for real-time interrupt and pulse accumulation functions in resource-constrained control designs.
Technical Context
The MC711K4CFNE3 implements the M68HC11 CPU core with Harvard architecture, supporting 16-bit addressing and a 56-instruction set. Its memory map includes dedicated register space, RAM, OTPROM, and EEPROM configuration registers accessible via memory-mapped I/O.
It integrates a 16-bit timer system with input capture, output compare, pulse accumulator, and real-time interrupt capabilities, plus an 8-channel 8-bit analog-to-digital converter with programmable conversion timing and result registers - all controlled through dedicated peripheral control/status registers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | M68HC11 8-bit CISC core with 56 instructions and 16-bit address bus |
| Memory | 4 KB OTPROM (programmable once), 192 B RAM, EEPROM CONFIG register for security and boot options |
| Bus Frequency | Up to 2 MHz - determines maximum instruction execution rate and peripheral timing margins |
| A/D Converter | 8-channel, 8-bit successive-approximation ADC with software-triggered conversions and result registers |
| Timer System | 16-bit free-running counter with 4 input capture, 5 output compare, pulse accumulator, and RTI channels |
| Serial Interfaces | SCI (asynchronous UART) and SPI (synchronous master/slave) with dedicated control/status registers |
| Package | 84-pin Plastic-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), case 780 - requires specific socket or reflow profile |
Pinout & Package
MC711K4CFNE3 is housed in an 84-pin Plastic-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) per Motorola case 780 mechanical specification, with gull-wing leads and 0.050" lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD, VSS | Power supply and ground | Digital core power (5 V ±10%) and return; decoupling required within 1 cm |
| AVDD, AVSS | Analog power and ground | Separate 5 V analog supply for A/D converter; must be filtered and isolated from digital noise |
| XTAL / EXTAL | Crystal oscillator inputs | Supports external crystal (1–4 MHz) or TTL-level clock source for system timing reference |
| RESET | Active-low reset input | Asynchronous hardware reset; internal POR circuit ensures valid startup before code execution |
| IRQ / XIRQ | Maskable and non-maskable interrupt inputs | Edge-sensitive inputs triggering vectorized interrupt service routines; XIRQ cannot be disabled by software |
| PORTA–PORTH | Multi-function I/O ports | Configurable as general-purpose I/O, timer/ADC/SPI/SCI signals, or chip selects - direction controlled per port |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| OTPROM program memory | 4 KB one-time-programmable ROM enables secure firmware storage without external memory footprint |
| On-chip EEPROM CONFIG | Non-volatile configuration register controls COP watchdog enable, memory protection, and boot mode selection |
| Pulse accumulator | Hardware event counter with overflow flag and prescaler - ideal for tachometer or flow meter signal conditioning |
| Real-time interrupt (RTI) | Programmable periodic interrupt source independent of main timer - simplifies time-sliced task scheduling |
| SCI with wakeup capability | Asynchronous serial interface supports low-power wake-on-receive for battery-operated systems |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Node | Automotive Body Control Module |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC68HC11E9CP | 8 KB EPROM, no OTPROM; 68-pin PLCC; lacks CONFIG register EEPROM functionality | Requires UV erasure for firmware updates; unsuitable for field-programmed security settings | Select when firmware revision cycles are infrequent and UV-erasable prototyping is preferred |
| MC912B32CFUE8 | Enhanced 68HC12 core, 32 KB FLASH, 10-bit A/D, CAN interface; 80-pin QFP | Higher performance and communication capability but incompatible pinout and memory map | Select for new designs needing CAN bus integration and future firmware updates without hardware change |
Compared with MC68HC11E9CP and MC912B32CFUE8, the MC711K4CFNE3 offers optimal balance of OTPROM security, 84-pin PLCC compatibility, and integrated peripherals for cost-sensitive, fixed-function embedded controllers where field reprogramming is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC711K4CFNE3?
The MC711K4CFNE3 supports a maximum bus frequency of 2 MHz, derived from its internal clock generator and external crystal or clock source. This frequency defines the timing for instruction execution, peripheral operation, and I/O transitions. The actual achievable speed depends on supply voltage stability, ambient temperature, and PCB layout integrity - all must comply with Section 12.4 Functional Operating Range in the official datasheet.
Does the MC711K4CFNE3 include flash or EEPROM memory for user data storage?
The MC711K4CFNE3 does not include user-accessible EEPROM or flash memory. It contains 4 KB of one-time-programmable ROM (OTPROM) for firmware and a dedicated CONFIG register with EEPROM-like non-volatility used exclusively for boot configuration and security settings. User data storage requires external memory or battery-backed RAM interfaced via the expansion bus.
Can the MC711K4CFNE3 operate in low-power modes such as stop or wait?
Yes, the MC711K4CFNE3 supports Wait and Stop low-power modes as defined in Section 5.8 of the technical data. In Wait mode, the CPU halts while peripherals remain active; in Stop mode, both CPU and most peripherals halt except for RESET and interrupt wake sources. These modes reduce current consumption to under 100 µA, enabling battery-powered operation in intermittent-sensing applications.
Is the MC711K4CFNE3 pin-compatible with other M68HC11K family members?
The MC711K4CFNE3 is pin-compatible with other 84-pin PLCC variants in the M68HC11K family, including the MC68HC11K4 and MC68HC11KS2. Pin assignments match Figure 2-1 in the technical data, confirming identical signal mapping for VDD, XTAL, PORTA–PORTH, and control pins. However, memory size and OTPROM vs. EPROM differences require firmware validation.
What development tools are supported for the MC711K4CFNE3?
Freescale provided official development support for the MC711K4CFNE3 via the M68HC11 Evaluation System (EVBU), BUFFALO monitor-based debugging, and third-party tools like ImageCraft ICC11 and HiWARE. Legacy toolchains remain functional, though modern IDEs require custom linker scripts and startup code due to the absence of standard CMSIS or vendor SDKs.
