It is a [[Complex instruction set computer|CISC]] microcontroller. The 68HC11 devices are more powerful and more expensive than the [[Engineering:Freescale 68HC08|68HC08]] microcontrollers, and are used in automotive applications, [[Barcode|barcode]] readers, hotel card key writers, amateur robotics, and various other [[Embedded system|embedded system]]s. The MC68HC11A8 was the first MCU to include CMOS EEPROM.<ref>[http://www.68bits.com M68HC11 Reference Manual]</ref>

Internally, the HC11 instruction set is upward compatible with the 6800, with the addition of a Y [[Index register|index register]]. (Instructions using the Y register have [[Opcode|opcode]]s prefixed with the byte [[Hexadecimal|0x]]18).  It has two [[8-bit|eight-bit]] [[Accumulator (computing)|accumulator]]s, A and B, two [[16-bit|sixteen-bit]] [[Index register|index register]]s, X and Y, a condition code register, a 16-bit stack [[Pointer (computer programming)|pointer]], and a [[Program counter|program counter]].  In addition, there is an 8 x 8-bit multiply (A x B), with full 16-bit result, and Fractional/Integer 16-bit by 16-bit Divide instructions. A range of 16-bit instructions treat the A and B registers as a combined 16-bit D register for comparison (X and Y registers may also be compared to 16-bit memory operands), addition, subtraction and shift operations, or can add the B accumulator to the X or Y index registers. Bit test operations have also been added, performing a logical AND function between operands, setting the correct conditions codes, but not modifying the operands.

Different versions of the HC11 have different numbers of external ports, labeled alphabetically.  The most common version has five ports, A, B, C, D, and E, but some have as few as 3 ports (version D3). Each port is eight-bits wide except for D, which is six bits (in some variations of the chip, D also has eight bits). It can be operated with an internal program and [[Random-access memory|RAM]] (1 to 768 bytes) or an external memory of up to 64 [[Kilobyte|kilobyte]]s. With external memory, B and C are used as [[Engineering:Address bus|address]] and [[Engineering:Bus (computing)|data bus]].  In this mode, port C is [[Time-division multiplexing|multiplexed]] to carry both the lower byte of the address and data.

==Implementations==
[[Image:MC68HC11 microcontroller.jpg|thumb|52-pin plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC)]]

In the early 1990s Motorola produced an evaluation board kit for the 68HC11 with several UARTs, RAM, and an EPROM. The cost of the evaluation kit was $68.11.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.dsp/4uquwRWrFno ''comp.dsp. 1 Oct. 1996'']</ref>

The standard monitor for the HC11 family is called BUFFALO, "Bit User Fast Friendly Aid to Logical Operation." It can be stored in on-chip ROM, EPROM, or external memory (also typically EPROM). BUFFALO is available for most 68HC11 family derivatives as it generally only depends upon having access to a single UART (SCI, or Serial Communications Interface, in Motorola parlance). BUFFALO can also run on devices that do not have internal non-volatile memory, such as the 68HC11A0, A1, E0, E1, and F1 derivatives.

==Other versions==
The [[Engineering:Freescale 68HC16|Freescale 68HC16]] microcontroller family is intended as a [[16-bit|16-bit]] mostly software compatible upgrade of the 68HC11.

The [[Engineering:Freescale 68HC12|Freescale 68HC12]] microcontroller family is an enhanced [[16-bit|16-bit]] version of the 68HC11.

The [[Engineering:Handy Board|Handy Board]] robotics controller by Fred Martin is based on the 68HC11.<ref>[http://www.handyboard.com/hardware/ Handy Board Hardware]</ref>

A MC68HC24 port replacement unit is available for the HC11.  When placed on the external address bus, it replicates the original functions of B and C.  Port A has input capture, output compare, pulse accumulator, and other timer functions; port D has serial I/O, and port E has an analog to digital converter (ADC).
