Product details
Overview
DF36037GFZV from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit single-chip microcontroller in the H8/36037 Group, featuring the H8/300H CPU core, 128 KB on-chip ROM, 8 KB RAM, and integrated peripherals including SCI, I2C, timer modules, and 80-pin PQFP package. It operates at up to 20 MHz, supports single-supply 5 V operation, and targets embedded control applications requiring deterministic real-time response and low-power sleep modes.
For engineers reviewing the DF36037GFZV datasheet, DF36037GFZV pinout, DF36037GFZV application, or DF36037GFZV equivalent, key selection considerations include its 80-pin PQFP footprint, 128 KB mask-ROM program memory, hardware SCI/I2C interfaces, and support for subsleep/subactive power-down states - all critical for industrial control, appliance MCU, and legacy H8-based system maintenance.
Technical Context
The DF36037GFZV implements the H8/300H CPU architecture with full instruction set compatibility to the H8/300, enabling migration from earlier designs. It integrates a system clock generator supporting crystal, ceramic resonator, or external clock input, plus prescaler S for flexible peripheral clock derivation.
Its memory map includes dedicated areas for on-chip ROM (0x000000–0x01FFFF), RAM (0xFFE000–0xFFFFFF), and peripheral registers (0xF00000–0xF00FFF). Power management is handled via SYSCR1/SYSCR2 and MSTCR1/MSTCR2 registers, enabling four distinct low-power modes: Sleep, Standby, Subsleep, and Subactive.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | H8/300H 16-bit RISC core, instruction-compatible with H8/300 for legacy code reuse. |
| ROM Size | 128 KB mask-programmed ROM - fixed firmware storage, no field reprogramming. |
| RAM Size | 8 KB on-chip SRAM - sufficient for stack, variables, and small buffers in real-time tasks. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 20 MHz - enables deterministic 50 ns instruction cycle time for timing-critical control loops. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V industrial logic and legacy system rails. |
| Package | 80-pin plastic quad flat pack (PQFP) - surface-mount, 0.65 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant. |
| I/O Pins | 64 programmable CMOS I/O pins - configurable as general-purpose or peripheral function pins (SCI, I²C, timers). |
Pinout & Package
DF36037GFZV is housed in an 80-pin PQFP (Plastic Quad Flat Package) with 0.65 mm lead pitch, thermal pad omitted, and JEDEC MS-026 compliant footprint. Pin functions are defined per the Hardware Manual Rev.4.00 (2006), Section 1.3–1.4.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC, VSS | Power supply and ground | Dedicated pairs for analog/digital separation; decoupling required per pin group to ensure noise immunity. |
| RESET | Active-low reset input | Asynchronous reset signal; internal pull-up; must be held low ≥1024 cycles after power stabilization. |
| CLK, EXTAL | System clock inputs | Supports crystal (1–20 MHz), ceramic resonator, or external clock source; CLK is output from oscillator circuit. |
| P00–P07 | Port 0 bidirectional I/O | 8-bit port with individual direction control; default as general-purpose I/O; multiplexed with SCI1/TXD1/RXD1. |
| P20–P27 | Port 2 bidirectional I/O | Includes SCI3 (P21/RXD3, P22/TXD3) used for on-board programming in boot mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip ROM + RAM | 128 KB mask-ROM and 8 KB SRAM eliminate need for external memory in cost-sensitive control systems. |
| Hardware SCI/I²C | Dual serial interfaces (SCI1, SCI3, and I²C bus controller) enable reliable communication with sensors, displays, and EEPROMs without software bit-banging. |
| Four Power Modes | Sleep, Standby, Subsleep, and Subactive modes reduce current to ≤10 µA (Subsleep), extending battery life in intermittent-operation devices. |
| Timer Resources | 16-bit timer (TPM), 8-bit timer (TMR), and watchdog timer (WDT) provide precise event timing, PWM generation, and system safety monitoring. |
| Interrupt Architecture | 16-level priority interrupt controller with edge-selectable external IRQs and vectorized handling for sub-2 µs latency in critical responses. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HD64F36037G | Same die, identical pinout and ROM content, but uses Flash memory instead of mask-ROM - supports field firmware updates. | Preferred where firmware revisionability is required; not suitable for high-volume cost-sensitive production with fixed code. | Select HD64F36037G only if in-system reprogramming capability is mandatory and BOM cost premium is acceptable. |
| H8/36057 | Pin-compatible upgrade with 256 KB ROM, enhanced peripheral set (additional SCI channel, larger RAM), and same 80-pin PQFP package. | Used in next-generation versions of systems originally designed for DF36037GFZV, where increased code space and I/O flexibility are needed. | Choose H8/36057 when expanding functionality beyond 128 KB ROM or requiring additional serial channels without PCB redesign. |
Compared with HD64F36037G and H8/36057, DF36037GFZV offers lowest unit cost and highest reliability for fixed-function applications, trading flash programmability and expanded memory for production stability and reduced qualification overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the DF36037GFZV?
The DF36037GFZV supports a maximum system clock frequency of 20 MHz, achieved using an external crystal, ceramic resonator, or clock source connected to the EXTAL/CLK pins. At this frequency, the CPU executes instructions with a 50 ns cycle time, enabling precise timing for motor control loops and real-time communication protocols. The DF36037GFZV's clock generator includes internal prescaling to derive lower-frequency clocks for peripherals without compromising CPU performance.
Does the DF36037GFZV support in-system programming (ISP)?
No, the DF36037GFZV does not support in-system programming. It contains 128 KB of mask-programmed ROM, meaning firmware is permanently embedded during wafer fabrication and cannot be modified post-production. For field-upgradable alternatives, consider the pin-compatible HD64F36037G, which replaces mask-ROM with Flash memory while retaining identical peripheral configuration and timing behavior.
What power-saving modes are available on the DF36037GFZV?
The DF36037GFZV implements four hardware-controlled low-power modes: Sleep, Standby, Subsleep, and Subactive. Subsleep mode draws ≤10 µA while retaining RAM content and allowing wake-up via external interrupt or timer event - ideal for battery-backed sensor nodes. Mode selection is controlled via SYSCR1 and SYSCR2 registers, with transitions managed by dedicated STOP and SLEEP instructions executed in software.
Is the DF36037GFZV pin-compatible with other H8/36037 Group members?
Yes, the DF36037GFZV shares the same 80-pin PQFP package and pin assignment with all members of the H8/36037 Group, including HD64F36037, HD64F36037G, and HD64336037G. This allows direct substitution within the same family for functional upgrades (e.g., Flash vs. mask-ROM) or qualification variants without PCB layout changes - provided voltage, timing, and peripheral usage align with the target variant's specifications.
What development tools are supported for the DF36037GFZV?
The DF36037GFZV is supported by Renesas' legacy H8 toolchain, including the E7 and E8 on-chip emulators for debugging, the H8S/H8/300 Series C/C++ Compiler (REJ10B0058), and the High-Performance Embedded Workshop 3 IDE. Note that when using the E7/E8 emulator, pins P85–P87 and the NMI pin are reserved, and memory regions H'D000–H'DFFF and H'F780–H'FB7F are unavailable for user code - these constraints must be accounted for in debug builds.
