Product details
Overview
MC711K4CFNE4 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale/Motorola) is an 8-bit HCMOS microcontroller unit in the M68HC11K family, featuring 4 KB on-chip OTPROM, 192 bytes RAM, 512 bytes EEPROM, 8-channel 8-bit ADC, SCI and SPI serial interfaces, and a 16-bit timer system with input capture, output compare, and PWM capability. It operates at up to 3 MHz in single-chip mode and targets embedded control in industrial sensors and motor drive subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the MC711K4CFNE4 datasheet, MC711K4CFNE4 pinout, MC711K4CFNE4 application, or MC711K4CFNE4 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package mapping to 84-pin PLCC (Case 780), functional role in real-time I/O control, and two validated alternative parts for legacy design continuity and supply assurance.
Technical Context
The MC711K4CFNE4 implements the M68HC11 CPU core with full instruction set compatibility, supporting single-chip, expanded, and bootstrap operating modes. Its memory architecture integrates 4 KB of one-time-programmable ROM, 512 bytes of EEPROM with block protection, and 192 bytes of static RAM - all mapped into a unified 64 KB address space with configurable chip selects.
Peripheral integration includes a full-duplex Serial Communications Interface (SCI) with wakeup and idle-line detection, a synchronous Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) with master/slave support and mode fault detection, and a flexible timing subsystem comprising a 16-bit timer counter, four input capture channels, five output compare channels, pulse accumulator, real-time interrupt, and four-channel PWM generator.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MC711K4CFNE4 is housed in an 84-pin Plastic-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), Case 780, with 0.050" lead pitch and JEDEC-standard footprint. The package supports through-hole mounting and provides full signal access to all on-chip peripherals including dual analog references (VRH/VRL), eight ADC inputs, six parallel I/O ports (A–F), and dedicated serial and timer pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD, VSS | Power Supply | Digital core supply (VDD) and ground (VSS); decoupling required within 1 cm for stable 3 MHz operation |
| AVDD, AVSS | Analog Supply | Separate analog power and ground for ADC section; must be filtered independently to minimize noise coupling |
| XTAL / EXTAL | Clock Input | Crystal oscillator input (XTAL) and feedback (EXTAL); supports 1–4 MHz crystals for precise E-clock derivation |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low asynchronous reset; requires external pull-up and debounce circuit per Section 2.4 of datasheet |
| IRQ / XIRQ | Interrupt Inputs | Maskable (IRQ) and non-maskable (XIRQ) interrupt request lines; level-sensitive with internal pull-ups |
| PORT A–F | Parallel I/O | Multi-function bidirectional ports; Port A doubles as ADC inputs, Port D as SPI signals (MISO/MOSI/SCK/SS) |
| SCI TXD / RXD | Serial Data | Asynchronous transmit (TXD) and receive (RXD) pins; support RS-232 level-shifting via external drivers |
| OC1–OC5 | Output Compare | Dedicated timer output pins for PWM, pulse generation, or event timing with programmable edge polarity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Real-Time Timer Architecture | 16-bit free-running counter with input capture (event timestamping), output compare (precise waveform generation), and PWM (motor/servo control) |
| Low-Power Operating Modes | Wait, Stop, and Slow modes reduce current consumption to <100 µA in Stop mode, extending battery life in portable instrumentation |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Node | Motor Drive Control |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC68HC11E9CP | Same M68HC11 core but with 512-byte RAM, no EEPROM, and 512-byte EPROM instead of 4 KB OTPROM | Lacks nonvolatile user data storage; requires external EEPROM for calibration persistence | Select when firmware size ≤512 bytes and EEPROM is implemented externally |
| MC912B32CPVE | Enhanced 16-bit HCS12 core, 32 KB Flash, 2 KB RAM, integrated CAN controller, and higher clock speed (8 MHz) | Not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign but offers CAN-native communication and larger memory | Select for new designs needing CAN bus integration and future scalability beyond 8-bit constraints |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC711K4CFNE4?
The MC711K4CFNE4 supports a maximum E-clock frequency of 3.0 MHz, derived from its internal oscillator or external crystal (1–4 MHz). This yields a 333 ns minimum instruction cycle time, enabling deterministic real-time response for time-critical I/O tasks such as PWM generation and ADC sampling. The device does not support higher-frequency variants like the 4 MHz M68HC11A8.
Does the MC711K4CFNE4 include on-chip EEPROM, and what is its endurance?
Yes, the MC711K4CFNE4 integrates 512 bytes of on-chip EEPROM with block protection capability. Its specified endurance is ≥100,000 write/erase cycles, and data retention exceeds 10 years at +85°C ambient. This allows reliable storage of calibration coefficients, device configuration, or runtime parameters without external nonvolatile memory.
Is the MC711K4CFNE4 pin-compatible with other M68HC11K family members?
No - the MC711K4CFNE4 uses an 84-pin PLCC (Case 780) package, while other M68HC11K variants like the MC68HC11KS2 use 68-pin PLCC or 80-pin QFP packages. Pinouts differ significantly across packages; migration requires PCB layout revision. Always verify pin assignments against Figure 2-1 in the official MC711K4CFNE4 datasheet.
What development tools are supported for the MC711K4CFNE4?
The MC711K4CFNE4 is supported by legacy Freescale tools including the BUFFALO monitor (bootloader in on-chip ROM), P&E Micro's BDM multilink debug interface, and CodeWarrior Development Studio v5.x. No official support exists for modern IDEs; firmware development relies on ANSI C cross-compilers targeting the M68HC11 architecture and S-record programming.
Can the MC711K4CFNE4 operate in low-power modes, and what are the typical current draws?
Yes, the MC711K4CFNE4 supports Wait, Stop, and Slow modes. In Stop mode (all clocks halted), typical current draw is <100 µA at 5 V and 25°C. Wait mode reduces current to ~1 mA by stopping the E-clock while retaining RAM and register contents. These modes are essential for battery-powered sensor nodes and intermittent-operation systems.
