It operates at up to 24 MHz with 3.3 V supply and targets embedded control in industrial automation and communication equipment.

For engineers reviewing the DF2215UTE16V datasheet, DF2215UTE16V pinout, DF2215UTE16V application, or DF2215UTE16V equivalent, this page delivers verified technical identity, package mapping (TFP-120V), validated pin functions, real-world use context, and two confirmed alternative MCU options aligned to the H8S/2215 family's functional scope and timing architecture.

Technical Context

The DF2215UTE16V implements the H8S/2000 CPU core with a 32-bit internal data path, sixteen 16-bit general-purpose registers, and object-level upward compatibility with H8/300H instructions. It supports a 16-Mbyte linear address space and executes instructions at up to 24 MHz via PLL-based clock generation (2× or 3× multiplication).

On-chip peripherals include a USB 1.1 interface with dedicated 48-MHz clock domain, two independent serial communication interfaces (SCI), a 16-bit timer pulse unit (TPU) with input capture/output compare capability, and a 10-bit successive-approximation A/D converter with two analog inputs (AN0, AN1) requiring AVcc = Vcc for operation.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

DF2215UTE16V is housed in a 120-pin thin fine-pitch plastic QFP (TFP-120V) package with 0.4 mm lead pitch and exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are defined per operating mode (normal, advanced, reset, stop) and include multiplexed I/O, dedicated peripheral signals (e.g., USB D+, D−, CLK48), and analog inputs AN0/AN1.

FAQ

What is the core architecture and instruction compatibility of the DF2215UTE16V?

The DF2215UTE16V features the H8S/2000 16-bit CPU core with a 32-bit internal data path and full object-level upward compatibility with H8/300H instructions. This enables reuse of existing H8/300H toolchains and firmware assets while delivering higher performance and expanded peripheral integration. The DF2215UTE16V maintains binary compatibility for compiled code, simplifying migration paths for legacy H8-based designs.

Does the DF2215UTE16V support in-system programming of its flash memory?

Yes, the DF2215UTE16V incorporates F-ZTAT™ flash technology, enabling full in-system programming and reprogramming without removing the device from the target board. This capability is activated using the FWE pin and standard Renesas flash programming algorithms, allowing firmware updates during manufacturing test, field service, or end-user configuration - a key advantage over masked-ROM variants like HD64F2215TU.

What are the analog input requirements for the DF2215UTE16V's A/D converter?

The DF2215UTE16V's 10-bit A/D converter requires AVcc to be electrically tied to Vcc (AVcc = Vcc) for correct operation of its two analog inputs (AN0 and AN1). AVss must also equal Vss. These conditions are mandatory - the A/D function is disabled if AVcc ≠ Vcc. Decoupling capacitors on both Vcc and AVcc are required per the hardware manual to ensure noise-free conversion results.

Can the DF2215UTE16V operate as a USB device without an external PHY?

Yes, the DF2215UTE16V integrates a full-speed USB 1.1 transceiver with dedicated D+ and D− pins and a 48-MHz CLK48 output. No external PHY or level-shifting components are needed. The USB module supports standard device descriptors, endpoint management, and bulk/interrupt transfers - making DF2215UTE16V a self-contained USB peripheral controller for embedded host-to-device communication.

What package type and pin count does the DF2215UTE16V use?

The DF2215UTE16V is packaged in a 120-pin thin fine-pitch plastic QFP (TFP-120V) with 0.4 mm lead pitch and an exposed thermal pad. This package matches the pinout of other H8S/2215 variants such as HD64F2215TU and supports the full peripheral set including USB, dual SCI, TPU, and analog inputs. Its compact footprint suits space-constrained industrial and medical PCB layouts.
