Product details
Overview
MCHC11F1CFNE3R from Freescale Semiconductor is an 8-bit microcontroller unit (MCU) featuring a 256-byte RAM, 512-byte EEPROM, and 12 KB on-chip ROM. It integrates a 16-bit timer subsystem with input capture/output compare, SCI and SPI serial interfaces, and an 8-channel 8-bit analog-to-digital converter. It targets embedded control in automotive body electronics and industrial sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the MCHC11F1CFNE3R datasheet, MCHC11F1CFNE3R pinout, MCHC11F1CFNE3R application, or MCHC11F1CFNE3R equivalent, key selection criteria include its single-chip operating mode, 4 MHz max E-clock frequency, 68-pin PLCC package, and support for WAIT/STOP low-power states - all critical for legacy automotive ECU redesigns and industrial firmware migration projects.
Technical Context
The MCHC11F1CFNE3R implements the MC68HC11 CPU core with full instruction set compatibility to the Motorola 6800. It operates in single-chip mode by default, using internal ROM and EEPROM without external bus expansion. Its memory map includes dedicated register space at $1000–$103F and I/O port registers mapped to $1000–$10FF.
Timing is derived from an external crystal (1–4 MHz) or ceramic resonator connected to XTAL/EXTAL pins, generating an E-clock output synchronized to the internal bus cycle. The MCU supports two reset sources - power-on reset and external active-low RESET - and features a COP watchdog with configurable timeout via the OPTION register.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | MC68HC11 8-bit CISC architecture with 16-bit index registers and condition code register |
| Max E-Clock Frequency | 4 MHz - determines maximum instruction execution rate and peripheral timing resolution |
| On-Chip Memory | 12 KB ROM (bootloader + user code), 512-byte EEPROM (nonvolatile data storage), 256-byte RAM (volatile working memory) |
| Analog Input | 8-channel 8-bit ADC with software-selectable conversion sequence and sample-and-hold |
| Serial Interfaces | One full-duplex SCI (asynchronous UART) and one synchronous SPI master/slave interface |

Pinout & Package
Package: 68-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), JEDEC MS-026AC compliant, body size 24.2 mm × 24.2 mm, lead pitch 0.05 inch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD, VSS | Power supply and ground | Dual VDD (pins 1, 68) and dual VSS (pins 2, 67) reduce noise coupling and improve decoupling effectiveness |
| RESET | Active-low external reset input | Asynchronous reset signal; initiates hardware initialization sequence and clears CPU registers and memory map configuration |
| E | E-clock output | Provides synchronized system clock reference for external logic or secondary MCUs; frequency = 1× crystal frequency |
| XTAL / EXTAL | Crytal/resonator connection | XTAL (pin 3) drives internal oscillator; EXTAL (pin 4) accepts external clock source up to 4 MHz |
| PORT A (PA0–PA7) | 8-bit bidirectional I/O port | Configurable as general-purpose I/O or dedicated functions including AD0–AD7 analog inputs and timer channel pins |
| PORT B (PB0–PB7) | 8-bit bidirectional I/O port | Supports SCI TXD/RXD, SPI MOSI/MISO/SCK/SS, and timer output compare signals |
| IRQ / XIRQ | Maskable and non-maskable interrupt inputs | IRQ (pin 19) is level-sensitive and maskable; XIRQ (pin 20) is edge-triggered and highest-priority interrupt source |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-chip operating mode | Enables self-contained operation without external memory or address decoding logic - reduces BOM count and PCB area |
| On-chip EEPROM (512 B) | Persists calibration data, device IDs, or configuration parameters across power cycles without external serial EEPROM |
| SCI with wakeup capability | Supports idle-line and address-mark wakeup modes - allows low-power sleep until targeted serial command arrives |
| Timer input capture with timestamping | Records precise timing of external events (e.g., encoder edges) with 1 µs resolution at 4 MHz E-clock |
| STOP mode current draw | Typical 10 µA - extends battery life in intermittent-sensing applications such as remote sensor nodes |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC68HC11E9CP2 | Same HC11 core but with 512-byte RAM, 2 KB EEPROM, and 512-byte bootstrap ROM; 80-pin QFP package | Higher memory capacity supports larger firmware images and more complex calibration tables | Select when >12 KB ROM or >256-byte RAM is required; not pin-compatible due to 80-pin QFP vs. 68-pin PLCC |
| MC9S12XDP512 | 16-bit S12X core, 512 KB Flash, 32 KB RAM, enhanced CAN modules, and PLL clock generation | Targets next-generation automotive systems requiring CAN FD, faster processing, and larger code footprint | Choose for new designs needing scalability beyond HC11 limits; requires full hardware and software redesign |
Compared with MC68HC11E9CP2 and MC9S12XDP512, the MCHC11F1CFNE3R offers minimal footprint and lowest power in legacy-compatible 8-bit control, making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained upgrades where memory and performance headroom are limited.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MCHC11F1CFNE3R?
The MCHC11F1CFNE3R supports a maximum E-clock frequency of 4 MHz, derived from an external crystal or resonator connected to XTAL/EXTAL pins. This defines the upper limit for instruction execution speed and peripheral timing accuracy. The MCHC11F1CFNE3R does not include an internal PLL or frequency multiplier, so system timing remains directly tied to the external oscillator source.
Does the MCHC11F1CFNE3R support in-circuit programming?
No, the MCHC11F1CFNE3R contains factory-programmed 12 KB ROM and cannot be reprogrammed in-system. However, its 512-byte EEPROM is field-programmable via standard MCU instructions and supports byte-level writes and bulk erases. Firmware updates require external programming equipment targeting the ROM during manufacturing, while EEPROM content can be modified during end-product operation.
What package type is used for the MCHC11F1CFNE3R?
The MCHC11F1CFNE3R uses a 68-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package, specified in Freescale's mechanical drawing 68PLCC. It is surface-mount compatible with standard PLCC sockets or reflow soldering profiles. The part number suffix "FNE3R" explicitly denotes this PLCC variant, distinguishing it from the 80-pin QFP version (e.g., MCHC11F1CFQE3).
Can the MCHC11F1CFNE3R operate in low-power modes?
Yes, the MCHC11F1CFNE3R supports two low-power modes: WAIT and STOP. In WAIT mode, the CPU halts but peripherals remain active; in STOP mode, all clocks are gated and current drops to ~10 µA. Wake-up from STOP is possible via IRQ, XIRQ, RTI, or SCI activity. These modes are essential for battery-operated applications where duty-cycled operation is required, and the MCHC11F1CFNE3R implements them without external components.
Is the MCHC11F1CFNE3R RoHS-compliant?
Yes, the MCHC11F1CFNE3R is RoHS-compliant and Pb-free, as confirmed in Freescale's environmental compliance documentation. Its packaging and assembly meet EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. Functionally identical to non-RoHS versions, the MCHC11F1CFNE3R maintains full electrical and thermal specifications while eliminating hazardous substances - critical for global product certifications and modern manufacturing lines.
