Overview
MCHC711KS2CFNE4 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale/Motorola) is an 8-bit HCMOS microcontroller unit (MCU) featuring 2 KB on-chip EPROM, 192 bytes RAM, and integrated peripherals including SCI, SPI, A/D converter, PWM, and timer subsystems. It operates at up to 3 MHz with single-chip mode execution and supports automotive and industrial control applications requiring non-volatile program storage and real-time I/O handling.
For engineers reviewing the MCHC711KS2CFNE4 datasheet, MCHC711KS2CFNE4 pinout, MCHC711KS2CFNE4 application, or MCHC711KS2CFNE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include EPROM retention capability, 68-pin PLCC package compatibility, 8-channel 8-bit A/D conversion, SCI/SCI-compatible serial interface timing, and COP watchdog functionality for safety-critical embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MCHC711KS2CFNE4 implements the M68HC11 CPU core with Harvard architecture, supporting indexed, extended, and inherent addressing modes. Its memory map includes 2 KB of OTP EPROM (M68HC711KS2 variant), 192 B RAM, and 512 B EEPROM configurable via CONFIG register.
Peripheral integration includes a 16-bit timer system with input capture/output compare, pulse accumulator, RTI, and 4-channel PWM; an 8-channel 8-bit successive-approximation A/D converter with multiplexer; and dual synchronous serial interfaces (SCI and SPI) with independent baud rate generation and interrupt-driven operation.

Pinout & Package
68-pin PLCC (Case 779) with 25.4 mm × 25.4 mm body, 1.27 mm lead pitch, and ceramic base. Pin 1 marked by corner notch; leads arranged in four 17-pin sides (A–D). Thermal pad not present; mounting requires standard PLCC socket or reflow-compatible land pattern per JEDEC MS-026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD, VSS | Digital power supply and ground | Primary logic supply (5 V); VSS serves as digital reference return path for CPU and digital I/O |
| AVDD, AVSS | Analog power supply and ground | Isolated analog supply for A/D converter; mandatory separation from digital VDD/VSS to maintain 8-bit linearity |

| SPI MOSI / MISO / SCK / SS | SPI bus signals | Master Out Slave In, Master In Slave Out, Serial Clock, and Slave Select - enable daisy-chain or multi-slave configurations |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip EPROM programming | Field-programmable via on-chip bootloader using SCI or internal memory copy; no external UV eraser required |
| EEPROM security | CONFIG register enables read/write protection for EEPROM blocks and disables unauthorized access to RAM contents |
| COP watchdog timer | Configurable timeout (0.5 ms to 1.0 s) with automatic reset on timeout; arm/disable controlled via dedicated register |

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 B EEPROM (not EPROM), no onboard A/D, and 56-pin SDIP package | Lacks integrated A/D and EPROM; requires external ADC and program memory; suited for simpler control tasks with lower pin count | Select when A/D and non-volatile program storage are handled externally, and board space favors through-hole mounting |
| MC9RS08KA2CSC | RS08 core (enhanced 8-bit), 2 KB Flash, 128 B RAM, 12-channel 10-bit A/D, 20-pin SOIC | Higher-resolution A/D, Flash reprogrammability, smaller footprint, but lacks SPI and has reduced timer feature set | Select for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where Flash updateability and higher A/D resolution outweigh need for SPI or legacy M68HC11 instruction compatibility |
Compared with MC68HC11E9CP and MC9RS08KA2CSC, the MCHC711KS2CFNE4 uniquely combines EPROM-based firmware permanence, integrated 8-channel A/D, SPI+SCI dual serial support, and 68-pin PLCC mechanical robustness-making it optimal for legacy-replacement industrial controllers where field-programmable OTP and analog integration are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MCHC711KS2CFNE4?
The MCHC711KS2CFNE4 operates with a maximum E-clock frequency of 3 MHz, derived from an external crystal (1–4 MHz) or oscillator connected to XTAL/EXTAL pins. The internal CPU executes instructions at half the E-clock rate, resulting in a peak instruction throughput of 1.5 million instructions per second (MIPS) under optimal conditions.
Does the MCHC711KS2CFNE4 support in-system programming of its EPROM?
No, the MCHC711KS2CFNE4 does not support in-system programming of its 2 KB EPROM. Programming requires either a dedicated EPROM programmer (e.g., BP Microsystems Series) or use of the on-chip bootloader via SCI interface with preloaded firmware image - both performed before soldering. Once programmed, the EPROM is one-time programmable and cannot be erased electrically.
How is the A/D converter on the MCHC711KS2CFNE4 configured for external voltage reference?
The MCHC711KS2CFNE4 A/D converter uses VRH and VRL pins to accept an external differential reference. Configuration requires setting bit 7 (REFS) in the A/D Control/Status Register to '1', selecting external reference mode. VRH must be ≤ AVDD and ≥ VRL; typical use pairs VRH to a precision 2.5 V reference and VRL to AGND, enabling full-scale 0–2.5 V measurement range with 8-bit resolution.
Can the MCHC711KS2CFNE4 operate in low-power modes while maintaining A/D conversion capability?
Yes, the MCHC711KS2CFNE4 supports A/D conversions in Wait mode (CPU halted, peripherals active) and normal run mode. However, A/D operation is disabled in Stop mode (all clocks halted) and Slow mode (E-clock reduced), as the A/D converter requires the main system clock for sampling and conversion timing. Wake-from-Wait transitions preserve A/D configuration and result registers.
What packaging options are available for the MCHC711KS2CFNE4 besides the 68-pin PLCC?
The MCHC711KS2CFNE4 is specifically designated for the 68-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC, Case 779). Other members of the M68HC11KS family offer alternate packages (e.g., 84-pin PLCC for M68HC711K4), but the KS2 variant with EPROM and this exact part number is only manufactured in the 68-pin PLCC configuration per Freescale's original ordering information and mechanical data documentation.
