68HC11 clocks

In some literature about the 68HC11 I see a reference to an 8Mhz
crystal and a 2MHz eClock.  Instructions execute in a given number
of clock cycles, but which clock?

Best Wishes,

Either, it just takes 4 more OSC clock ticks more than E clock ticks ;)

But seriously.....
Most of the documentation refers to E clock cycles.  

Hi,
The external frequency clock (8MHz for example) is four times the internal
clock (2MHz). So, your instructions are executed with internal clock, 2MHz
(500ns / cycle).
