IC Decap: Motorola MC68HC11E9 8-Bit Microcontroller

This particular IC came out of a very old VHF band radio, from the early 90’s. The die was encased in a custom ceramic package, like every other IC in the radio, with a custom part number. I managed to identify it from the markings on the silicon.

This was a pretty powerful MCU for it’s time, with 16K of onboard ROM, 512 bytes of both RAM & EEPROM, a 16-bit timer, 8-bit ADC, SPI & a MC68HC11 CPU core.
