Motorola 68Hc11 Microcontroller: Definition - What Does Microcontroller Mean?
The architecture of the 68HC11 microcontroller is very basic. There are normally5 ports, labelled A through E.
Depending on which model you buy, this may vary. Each port is used for data I/O. Port A is used for I/O with the
pulse accumulator (timer). Port B and C are used for general I/O. Port D is used for some general I/O and for special
I/O with the SCI. Port E is used for either general I/O or as inputs to the A/D converter.
The micro-controller is fitted with memory facilities too. Usually, around 8 Kilobytes are reserved for ROM, 512 Bytes
of EEPROM, and 256 Bytes of RAM. Aside from memory, there is the CPU (of course!), clock logic, interrupt logic,
mode control, an address space, a BUS, parallel I/O from 5 ports, a timer system, and last but not least, the SPI
