The 68HC05 (also abbreviated as HC05) is a broad family of

8-bit microcontrollers from Motorola Semiconductor (later from Freescale then NXP
).

Like all Motorola processors that share lineage from the

condition code register
CCR.

Among the HC05's there are several processor families, each targeted to different embedded applications.

The 68HC05 family broke ground with the introduction of the EEPROM-based MC68HC805C4 and MC68HC805B6 variants in the late 1980s. Using a serial bootloader, they could be programmed in-circuit with simple software running on a PC and a low current 19 V supply (no programmer required).

The HC05 series is now considered legacy and is replaced by the

HC(S)08
MCU series.
