Product details
Overview
DF2238RTE6V from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit single-chip microcomputer in the H8S/2238 Group, featuring an H8S/2000 CPU core, 256 KB on-chip flash memory, 16 KB RAM, and integrated peripherals including six 16-bit timers (TPU), four 8-bit timers (TMR), dual watchdog timers (WDT), four serial communication interfaces (SCI), two I²C buses (option), two D/A converters, and an 8-channel 10-bit A/D converter. It operates at up to 33 MHz and targets industrial control and embedded instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the DF2238RTE6V datasheet, DF2238RTE6V pinout, DF2238RTE6V application, or DF2238RTE6V equivalent, key selection criteria include its flash-based reprogrammability, dual WDT architecture for fail-safe operation, SCI/I²C peripheral flexibility, and TPU timer resolution for precise motor control timing.
Technical Context
The DF2238RTE6V implements the H8S/2000 32-bit internal data path CPU with 16-bit external bus interface, supporting both high-speed mode (up to 33 MHz) and multiple low-power modes (subactive, sleep, stop). Its memory subsystem includes 256 KB of on-chip F-ZTAT™ flash with sector erase capability and 16 KB of SRAM with wait-state programmability.
Peripheral integration follows a modular architecture: the Data Transfer Controller (DTC) handles autonomous memory-to-peripheral transfers without CPU intervention; the 16-bit Timer Pulse Unit (TPU) supports PWM generation, input capture, and pulse width measurement across six independent channels; and the dual watchdog timers provide independent timeout supervision-one for main software execution and one for safety-critical monitoring tasks.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HD64F2238R | Same silicon die and pinout; differs only in marking and packaging (plastic QFP vs. TQFP); identical electrical specs and firmware compatibility | No functional difference; used interchangeably where TQFP mechanical footprint is not required | Select HD64F2238R for cost-sensitive designs accepting standard QFP; DF2238RTE6V preferred for higher thermal reliability and finer-pitch layout density |
| H8S/2239 | Higher integration: adds IEBus™ controller and additional SCI channel; same CPU, memory size, and peripheral count except IEBus/SCI | Required for NEC IEBus-based consumer audio/video equipment; unnecessary overhead for non-IEBus industrial applications | Choose H8S/2239 only when IEBus protocol support is mandatory; DF2238RTE6V offers better cost/performance ratio for general-purpose control |
Compared with HD64F2238R, DF2238RTE6V provides identical functionality in a thermally enhanced TQFP package with tighter pitch and improved solder joint reliability; versus H8S/2239, it removes unused IEBus logic to reduce cost and power, making it optimal for non-consumer industrial systems requiring deterministic real-time control.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the DF2238RTE6V?
The DF2238RTE6V operates at a maximum system clock frequency of 33 MHz, achievable using an external crystal (1–20 MHz) multiplied via on-chip PLL or direct external clock input. This frequency governs CPU instruction execution, TPU timing resolution, and A/D conversion sampling rate - all fully specified in the H8S/2238 Group Hardware Manual Rev.6.00. DF2238RTE6V maintains timing compliance across industrial temperature ranges (−40°C to +85°C) at this speed.
Does the DF2238RTE6V support in-system programming of its flash memory?
Yes, the DF2238RTE6V integrates 256 KB of F-ZTAT™ flash memory that supports full in-system programming (ISP) via on-chip boot ROM routines. Firmware updates can be performed through any enabled SCI interface without external programming hardware. DF2238RTE6V allows sector-by-sector erase and byte/word programming, enabling field upgrades while preserving critical configuration data in protected sectors.
How many independent watchdog timers does the DF2238RTE6V include, and how are they configured?
The DF2238RTE6V includes two independent watchdog timers (WDT1 and WDT2), each with separate clock sources, timeout periods, and reset outputs. WDT1 monitors main application firmware; WDT2 supervises safety-critical background tasks. Both are configurable via dedicated control registers (WDTE, WDTSR) and can generate either reset or interrupt. DF2238RTE6V's dual-WDT architecture meets IEC 61508 SIL2 requirements for fail-safe embedded control.
What analog peripherals are integrated into the DF2238RTE6V?
The DF2238RTE6V integrates an 8-channel 10-bit successive-approximation A/D converter with sample-and-hold and two 8-bit voltage-output D/A converters. The A/D supports programmable conversion start triggers (software, timer, external pin), scan mode for sequential channel acquisition, and built-in calibration. DF2238RTE6V's analog block shares pins with Port C (PC0–PC7), requiring mode register configuration to activate analog input functionality.
Is the DF2238RTE6V pin-compatible with other members of the H8S/2238 Group?
Yes, DF2238RTE6V is pin-compatible with other H8S/2238 Group variants sharing the TFP-100BV package, including HD64F2238R and HD6432238RW. All share identical pin count, pitch, power/ground assignments, and primary peripheral mappings (SCI, TPU, A/D). Differences exist only in flash configuration, mask ROM presence, or minor feature enablement - verified in the H8S/2238 Group Hardware Manual Table 1.3.
