Section 2. Operating Modes and On-Chip Memory
2.1  Introduction
This section contains information about the operating modes and the on-chip 
memory for M68HC11 E-series MCUs. Except for a few minor differences, 
operation is identical for all devices in the E series. Differences are noted where 
necessary. 
2.2  Operating Modes 
The values of the mode select inputs MODB and MODA during reset determine the 
operating mode. Single-chip and expanded multiplexed are the normal modes. 
In single-chip mode only on-chip memory is available.
Expanded mode, however, allows access to external memory. 
Each of the two normal modes is paired with a special mode: 
Bootstrap, a variation of the single-chip mode, is a special mode that 
executes a bootloader program in an internal bootstrap ROM. 
Test is a special mode that allows privileged access to internal resources. 
2.2.1  Single-Chip Mode
In single-chip mode, ports B and C and strobe pins A (STRA) and B (STRB) are 
available for general-purpose parallel input/output (I/O). In this mode, all software 
needed to control the MCU is contained in internal resources. If present, read-only 
memory (ROM) and/or erasable, programmable read-only memory (EPROM) will 
always be enabled out of reset, ensuring that the reset and interrupt vectors will be 
available at locations $FFC0–$FFFF. 
NOTE:
For the MC68HC811E2, the vector locations are the same; however, they are 
contained in the 2048-byte EEPROM array. 
2.2.2  Expanded Mode 
In expanded operating mode, the MCU can access the full 64-Kbyte address 
space. The space includes:
The same on-chip memory addresses used for single-chip mode 
Addresses for external peripherals and memory devices
