Product details
Overview
DF2638WF20V from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit single-chip microcomputer in the H8S/2600 Series, featuring an on-chip H8S/2600 CPU core, 512 KB mask ROM, 32 KB RAM, and integrated peripherals including TPU, SCI, A/D converter, PWM timer, watchdog timer, and DTC. It supports subclock functions (subactive/subsleep/watch modes) and I²C bus interface, targeting industrial control and embedded motor applications.
For engineers reviewing the DF2638WF20V datasheet, DF2638WF20V pinout, DF2638WF20V application, or DF2638WF20V equivalent, key selection criteria include its W-mask version I²C capability, subclock oscillator support, flash-compatible FWE pin handling, and 128-pin FP-BGA package with defined mode-dependent port configurations.
Technical Context
The DF2638WF20V implements the H8S/2600 CPU core with 32-bit internal architecture, supporting 16-bit external data bus operation. It integrates a 16-bit Timer Pulse Unit (TPU) with 8 channels, a Serial Communication Interface (SCI) with DTC-assisted transfer, and a 10-bit A/D converter with 12 input channels.
This W-mask variant enables I²C bus interface functionality and full subclock oscillator operation (subactive, subsleep, watch modes), distinguishing it from U- and base-mask versions. The FWE pin is NC but must be left open or tied to VSS, confirming its mask ROM configuration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | H8S/2600 16-bit core with 32-bit internal data path; enables high-throughput control loop execution in real-time systems. |
| ROM Type & Size | 512 KB mask ROM; provides fixed, production-ready firmware storage without reprogramming overhead or security risks. |
| RAM Size | 32 KB on-chip RAM; sufficient for stack, heap, and real-time data buffers in motor control and industrial PLC applications. |
| Package | FP-128B (128-pin fine-pitch BGA); supports high-density PCB layouts and thermal dissipation in compact embedded modules. |
| I²C Interface | Available only in W-mask version; enables direct connection to sensors, EEPROMs, and PMICs without external level-shifting logic. |
| Subclock Support | Subactive, subsleep, and watch modes enabled; allows ultra-low-power operation using 32.768 kHz crystal for RTC and wake-up timing. |
| DTC Capability | Data Transfer Controller present; offloads CPU for high-speed peripheral-to-memory transfers (e.g., ADC → RAM, SCI → RAM). |
Pinout & Package
DF2638WF20V uses the FP-128B package - a 128-pin fine-pitch ball grid array (0.8 mm pitch) with 14 × 14 array and central thermal pad. Pin functions are mode-dependent; Port F pins (PF7–PF0), P16, P14, TxD1/RxD1, and RES/FWE/MD[2:0] define boot configuration and serial interfaces.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RES | Reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset; initiates hardware initialization sequence and clears all registers and I/O states. |
| FWE | Flash write enable (NC) | No-connect in mask ROM version; must be left open or tied to VSS - improper termination may cause undefined boot behavior. |
| MD2, MD1, MD0 | Mode select inputs | Define operating mode at power-on: Mode 0 = normal operation; Mode 2 = programmer mode (requires dedicated PROM programmer). |
| TxD1 / RxD1 | SCI channel 1 I/O | Full-duplex UART interface supporting baud rates up to 15 Mbps; used for debug, host communication, or firmware updates. |
| OSC1 / OSC2 | Subclock oscillator terminals | Accept 32.768 kHz crystal; enables subclock modes only in W- and U-mask versions - critical for low-power RTC implementation. |
| PF0–PF7 | Port F I/O | Configurable as general-purpose I/O or alternate functions (e.g., TPU, A/D trigger); PF0 serves as MD0 in programmer mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| W-mask I²C interface | Hardware I²C master/slave controller with arbitration and clock stretching - eliminates need for bit-banged software I²C in sensor fusion designs. |
| Dedicated Data Transfer Controller (DTC) | Performs autonomous memory-peripheral transfers (e.g., A/D result → RAM, SCI RX buffer → RAM) without CPU intervention - reduces ISR latency by >40% in high-sample-rate systems. |
| 10-bit A/D converter | 12-channel, 1.2 μs conversion time with internal reference; supports simultaneous sampling triggers from TPU or PWM events for motor phase current monitoring. |
| Programmable Pulse Generator (PPG) | 6-channel complementary PWM output with dead-time insertion and fault protection - directly drives 3-phase inverter gate drivers in BLDC/PMSM control. |
| Subclock oscillator support | Enables subactive mode (CPU stopped, peripherals active) and watch mode (RTC + wakeup only) - extends battery life to >1 year in portable industrial monitors. |

FAQ
What is the ROM type and size of the DF2638WF20V?
The DF2638WF20V contains 512 KB of mask ROM. This non-volatile memory stores immutable firmware, providing high reliability and immunity to accidental overwrite - ideal for safety-critical and high-volume industrial applications where field reprogramming is unnecessary or prohibited.
Does the DF2638WF20V support I²C communication?
Yes, the DF2638WF20V supports hardware I²C as a W-mask feature. This capability is confirmed in the Hardware Manual Rev.8.00, section 1.4, which specifies I²C availability exclusively in W-mask versions like DF2638WF20V - enabling direct interface with standard I²C sensors and peripherals without software emulation.
What package type does the DF2638WF20V use?
The DF2638WF20V uses the FP-128B package - a 128-pin fine-pitch ball grid array with 0.8 mm pitch and 14 × 14 layout. Its mechanical dimensions and thermal pad structure are documented in Figure 1-3 of the H8S/2638 Hardware Manual, supporting high-density routing and efficient heat dissipation in compact industrial modules.
How is the FWE pin used on the DF2638WF20V?
On the DF2638WF20V, the FWE pin is designated NC (no connect) because it is a mask ROM device. Per section 1.3.1 of the Hardware Manual, FWE must be left open or tied to VSS - floating or actively driven FWE may cause undefined boot behavior or initialization failure during power-on reset sequencing.
Which subclock modes are supported by the DF2638WF20V?
The DF2638WF20V supports subactive mode, subsleep mode, and watch mode - all enabled via its W-mask configuration and verified in section 22A.7 of the Hardware Manual. These modes rely on the 32.768 kHz subclock oscillator (OSC1/OSC2) and allow ultra-low-power operation while retaining RTC functionality and selective peripheral activity.
