210 Chapter 4 Small 8-Bit Systems

Many of the peripheral components found on the small 8-bit de­
vices are found on larger microcontrollers. The next chapter introduces
a group of larger microcontrollers, the M68HC11 family. The com­
piler used for the development of the M68HC05 code does not extend
to the M68HC11 family. Therefore, the source code will look a little
different in the following chapters, but it will still be all C. To gener­
ate code for the M68HC05, the compiler has had to “bend” the
concepts of ANSI C to create code that would work with that family.
Larger microcontrollers accommodate more of the large computer
features so use of ANSI C is possible.
