The 68HC11 (also abbreviated as 6811 or HC11) is an 8-bit microcontroller that was introduced by Motorola in the year 1984. The production of these chips was later done by Freescale semiconductor. Currently they are fabricated by NXP semiconductors which acquired Freescale semiconductor.
I have listed some of the basic features of 68HC11 family of microcontrollers in the next section; however, it is important to keep in mind that, you can access the detailed and latest specifications from the official documentation for that particular device you are working with from the manufacturer’s website.
Some of the basic features of 68HC11 microcontrollers include:
The figure below illustrates the architecture of the 68HC11 family of microcontrollers:
The pin connection diagrams are shown in Figure 1.1 (56-pin SDIP package) and Figure 1.2 (48-pin DIP package). DIP and SDIP stand for dual in-line package and shrink dual in-line package.
