Renesas DF2360VTE34V

Overview

DF2360VTE34V from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit single-chip microcontroller (MCU) based on the H8S/2600 CPU core, featuring 512 KB on-chip ROM, 32 KB RAM, and integrated peripherals including a 16-bit timer pulse unit (TPU), 10-bit A/D converter, 8-bit D/A converter, SCI/IrDA serial interfaces, I²C bus interface (IIC2), watchdog timer, and DMA controller. It operates at up to 33 MHz and targets embedded control applications requiring deterministic real-time response.

For engineers reviewing the DF2360VTE34V datasheet, DF2360VTE34V pinout, DF2360VTE34V application, or DF2360VTE34V equivalent, key selection criteria include its 128-pin QFP package, F-ZTAT™ flash architecture for in-system reprogramming, PLL-based clock generation with VCL/VSS/PLLVCC/PLLVSS dedicated power pins, and support for expanded memory mode with external address space mapping.

Technical Context

The DF2360VTE34V implements the H8S/2360F variant of the H8S/2368 Group, sharing the same 16-bit CPU architecture, memory map layout, and peripheral register set as documented in Rev.6.00 (Mar. 18, 2009) Hardware Manual REJ09B0050-0600. It supports multiple operating modes including user boot mode (Mode 5), expanded mode with on-chip ROM enabled (Mode 4), and single-chip activation expanded mode (Mode 7).

Its memory subsystem includes 512 KB ROM and 32 KB RAM, configurable via SYSCR register bits RAME and EXPE to map internal RAM or external address space. The device integrates dual bus masters (DMAC and DTC), enabling concurrent data transfers without CPU intervention, and supports chain transfer for sequential peripheral-to-memory operations.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

DF2360VTE34V is housed in a 128-pin plastic quad flat pack (QFP-128) with 0.4 mm lead pitch, designed for industrial temperature range operation and compliant with JEDEC MS-026 standards. Power integrity is supported by multiple VCC/VSS pairs and dedicated PLL supply pins (PLLVCC/PLLVSS).

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the DF2360VTE34V?

The DF2360VTE34V operates at a maximum clock frequency of 33 MHz, achieved using its on-chip PLL with external crystal or resonator input. This frequency is confirmed in the H8S/2368 Group Hardware Manual Rev.6.00 (2009), Section 9.1 Electrical Characteristics. The DF2360VTE34V maintains full peripheral functionality-including A/D conversion, TPU timing, and SCI communication-at this speed, making it suitable for time-critical embedded control tasks.

Does the DF2360VTE34V support in-system programming of its flash memory?

Yes, the DF2360VTE34V incorporates F-ZTAT™ single-power flash technology, enabling in-system programming without high-voltage VPP supply. Firmware updates can be performed via on-chip bootloader or debug interface while the device remains soldered on the target board. This capability is documented in the H8S/2368 Group Hardware Manual Rev.6.00, Section 5.1 Flash Memory Overview, and applies directly to the DF2360VTE34V as an H8S/2360F variant.

What are the power supply requirements for the PLL circuit in the DF2360VTE34V?

The DF2360VTE34V requires dedicated power connections for its PLL: PLLVCC (pin 84) and PLLVSS (pin 86) must be supplied with clean 3.3 V and grounded respectively, independent from core VCC/VSS. Additionally, VCL (pin 3) must be connected to VSS via a 0.1 µF capacitor placed adjacent to the pin. These requirements are specified in Table 1.2 (Pin Functions) of the H8S/2368 Group Hardware Manual Rev.6.00 to ensure low-jitter clock synthesis in the DF2360VTE34V.

How many analog-to-digital input channels does the DF2360VTE34V provide?

The DF2360VTE34V integrates a 10-bit successive-approximation A/D converter with eight input channels, accessible via dedicated AN0–AN7 pins. Conversion is triggered by software, timer, or peripheral events, and results are stored in 16-bit result registers. This specification is consistent across the H8S/2360F family and verified in Section 12.2 A/D Converter of the H8S/2368 Group Hardware Manual Rev.6.00, confirming full functionality for the DF2360VTE34V.

Is the DF2360VTE34V pin-compatible with other members of the H8S/2368 Group?

The DF2360VTE34V shares the same 128-pin QFP package and pin function definitions as other H8S/2368 Group variants like H8S/2364F and H8S/2368F, per Table 1.2 in the H8S/2368 Group Hardware Manual Rev.6.00. However, differences in on-chip ROM size (512 KB vs. 384 KB or 512 KB) and minor peripheral enablement mean that while PCB layout is reusable, firmware and memory map configuration must be validated per specific part number-including the DF2360VTE34V.
