Opps, grabbed the wrong one. There is a whole series of the migration bulletins. EB380 is for E2 -> E9 EB193 is for A series -> E series Thanks Tony!! Bob Smith Bob Smith wrote: > Robert L.

The E9CFN2 decodes to Industrial temperature range (-40c to 125c), 2 MHz bus, abd 52 pin PLCC package.

Depending on how you use Port A pins, you may have to make some changes to your initialization code also. And there are a few other small details to be considered. Fortunately, Motorola wrote an Engineering Bulletin (EB380) covering these details.

Yes, please offer them if you decide to. I will bid on them as I use the E9CFN2 and one of my embedded control system designs. That > way I'll just stick with the 68HC11A1 chip that I know Well thats ok, but I hope you are aware that the A Series has been obsoleted and is starting to become hard to find. I hope you have a life time supply of A Series parts on hand. You may want to consider offering the A Series parts for sale. You can probably get more for them than the E9s. You should also check with the makers of the Handy Board. Their support group can probably help you with the migration to the E Series. and not have > to spend time worrying about the differences within that CPU family. > I already have too many others to keep tabs on.

----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert L. Doerr" <> To: <> > It might just make more sense for me to offer these MC68HC711E9CFN2 > chips along with the 68HC705 chips as available to the group. That Although I'm certain there will be many willing to accept those chips, you'll be giving away something you can use for your project. The differences between A and E are so few and only affect very specific issues that many programs won't even need to be changed at all (especially when not used in a production, but for home use). The differences (as found detailed in http://www.freescale.com/files/microcontrollers/doc/eng_bulletin/EB193.pdf) are: 1. Size of built-in program memory (doesn't affect expanded mode designs and it only gives more room in single-chip mode ones). 2. 512 bytes of RAM instead of 256. Doesn't affect you as it gives more RAM. 3. BPROT register to protect all or some of the EEPROM (if available) during startup. Doesn't *have* to be used but it is a 'good thing'. 4. PORTA[3] pin if used in your design must be set to output (and low initially) to behave as the A series default. This is perhaps the single most important difference that may require a change in your code if you use PA3. Just set the pin to output low at startup. 5. Bootload has a timeout rather than a fixed length talker. Doesn't really affect you because it's backwards compatible. 6. OC5 can be switched to IC4 in the E series but since the default is the same as A's, no need to do something. > way I'll just stick with the 68HC11A1 chip that I know and not have > to spend time worrying about the differences within that CPU family. > I already have too many others to keep tabs on.

I.E., package, temp range, >frequency?????????? Hello Bob, Thanks for writing back. The full chip # is MC68HC711E9CFN2 and it is the same PLCC form factor as the 68HC11A1 chips I have used in the past. The boards I have use a 8mhz crystal which is divided down to 2Mhz. These are going to be used in a robot project for around the house so I think that most of the temperature ranges should work ok. If the 68HC11 family I have really only worked with the 68HC11A1 chip and it has been a great CPU to use. I thought that if I could just write a new config vaue to the CPU then it might work as a replacement for the 68HC11A1 chip. At the moment I use them on the HandyBoard computer and on a couple of old BotBoard 2 boards. It might just make more sense for me to offer these MC68HC711E9CFN2 chips along with the 68HC705 chips as available to the group. That way I'll just stick with the 68HC11A1 chip that I know and not have to spend time worrying about the differences within that CPU family. I already have too many others to keep tabs on.

Bob Smith is right (as usual) concerning need to check details including packages, temperatures, etc., but as a general proposition, yes, you should be able to reprogram the '711E9 to work as an 'A1, if you pay attention to the details. When they discontinued the A series, they intended for people to use E series parts as a substitute, and we have done that with several products.
