Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC68HC11E9CP2 | Same M68HC11 core but with 512 B RAM, 512 B EEPROM, no OTPROM; uses external crystal only (no internal oscillator option) | Lacks OTPROM-based firmware storage; requires external memory for program retention; better suited for prototyping than production firmware lock-down | Select when field firmware updates or EEPROM-based parameter storage outweighs need for OTP security and compactness. |
| MC912B32CFUE8 | Enhanced 16-bit HCS12 core, 32 KB Flash, 2 KB RAM, CAN 2.0B interface; pinout and software not compatible | Supports CAN bus networking and larger code size; requires full toolchain migration and PCB redesign due to different package (80-pin LQFP but incompatible pin mapping) | Select for new designs requiring CAN connectivity, higher performance, or future scalability beyond 8-bit constraints. |
Compared with MC68HC11E9CP2 and MC912B32CFUE8, the MC711K4VFUE4 provides OTPROM-based firmware immutability and deterministic real-time behavior ideal for cost-sensitive, fixed-function embedded controllers where code stability and minimal external components are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC711K4VFUE4?
The MC711K4VFUE4 supports a maximum E-clock frequency of 2 MHz, derived from either an external crystal (via XTAL/EXTAL) or external clock source. The internal bus operates at E-clock/2 (1 MHz), and all instruction timings are specified relative to this bus clock. This frequency is confirmed in Section 12.4 (Functional Operating Range) of the M68HC11K Family Technical Data document.
Does the MC711K4VFUE4 include on-chip flash or EEPROM memory?
The MC711K4VFUE4 contains 4 KB of one-time programmable ROM (OTPROM) for program storage and 192 bytes of static RAM. It does not include user-accessible flash or EEPROM memory, but it features EEPROM-mapped configuration registers (CONFIG) for security and boot options, as detailed in Section 4.8 of the technical data.
What package type is used for the MC711K4VFUE4?
The MC711K4VFUE4 is packaged in an 80-pin Low-Profile Quad Flat Pack (LQFP), Case 917A, with 0.5 mm lead pitch and an exposed thermal pad. This matches the M68HC11KS 80-pin LQFP pin assignment shown in Figure 2-4 of the M68HC11K Family Technical Data document.
Can the MC711K4VFUE4 be programmed in-circuit after soldering?
Yes-the MC711K4VFUE4 includes an on-chip bootloader that enables in-system programming of its 4 KB OTPROM using the SCI interface and standard UART-level signals. Programming requires a valid serial command sequence and proper reset entry into bootstrap mode, as described in Section 4.7.1 of the technical data.
Is the MC711K4VFUE4 RoHS compliant?
The MC711K4VFUE4 was manufactured prior to full RoHS enforcement and is classified as a legacy component. It contains lead in the die attach and solder finish, and is not RoHS-compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. For RoHS-compliant alternatives, consult NXP's Kinetis or S32K families.
