Overview
DF36074LHV from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit single-chip microcomputer in the H8/36074 Group, featuring the H8/300H CPU core, 64 KB on-chip ROM, 4 KB RAM, and integrated peripherals including UART (SCI), timer modules (8-bit and 16-bit), and 40 I/O pins. It operates at up to 20 MHz with 3.3 V or 5 V supply support and targets embedded control in industrial and office equipment.
For engineers reviewing the DF36074LHV datasheet, DF36074LHV pinout, DF36074LHV application, or DF36074LHV equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping, functional pin roles, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for system design and BOM continuity planning.
Technical Context
The DF36074LHV implements the H8/300H CPU architecture with instruction set compatibility to the H8/300, supporting 16-bit data paths and 24-bit addressing. It integrates a clock pulse generator with internal RC oscillator trimming, low-voltage detection circuitry, and multiple interrupt sources including external IRQ pins and on-chip peripheral flags.
Peripheral subsystems include three serial communication interfaces (SCI0–SCI2), four 8-bit timers (T0–T3), one 16-bit timer (TPM), and a watchdog timer. All I/O ports are CMOS-compatible with configurable pull-up resistors and programmable drive strength, supporting both 3.3 V and 5 V operation across the full temperature range.

Pinout & Package
DF36074LHV is housed in a 64-pin LQFP (10 mm × 10 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) package with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are defined per the H8/36074 Group Hardware Manual Rev. 3.00 (2007), with dedicated power, ground, reset, clock, and multifunction I/O assignments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC, VSS | Power supply and ground | Dual VCC/VSS pairs ensure stable core and I/O rail decoupling; thermal pad improves heat dissipation under continuous operation. |
| RESET | Active-low reset input | Asynchronous reset pin with internal pull-up; requires external capacitor for noise immunity and meets minimum pulse width of 100 ns. |
| CLK, EXTAL, XTAL | System clock inputs | Supports crystal (1–20 MHz), ceramic resonator, or external clock source; internal RC oscillator usable as fallback clock during startup. |
| P00–P07, P10–P17, P20–P27, P30–P37, P40–P47 | Port 0–4 I/O pins | 40 total CMOS bidirectional pins with individual direction control, pull-up enable, and interrupt capability on selected pins (e.g., P00–P03). |
| TXD0/RXD0, TXD1/RXD1, TXD2/RXD2 | SCI serial interface signals | Three independent full-duplex UART channels mapped to Port 2 and Port 3 pins - enables simultaneous host debug, sensor telemetry, and peripheral command links. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip clock generator with RC trimming | Internal 1–20 MHz RC oscillator with ±1% accuracy after trimming - reduces BOM count by eliminating external crystal in cost-sensitive applications. |
| Low-voltage detection (LVD) | Configurable reset threshold (2.7 V / 3.3 V / 4.0 V) with interrupt option - enables safe shutdown or brown-out recovery without external supervisor IC. |
| Four 8-bit timers + one 16-bit timer | Independent prescalers, compare/capture modes, and overflow interrupts - supports precise PWM (motor speed), pulse counting (encoder), and time-stamping (event logging). |
| Three SCI modules | Full-duplex UART with selectable baud rates, parity, stop bits, and framing error detection - simplifies multi-device serial networking in industrial controllers. |
| Watchdog timer with window mode | Programmable timeout (1 ms to 2 s) and windowed refresh window - prevents runaway code while allowing controlled software updates without false resets. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HD64F36074G | Same H8/36074 core, but in 64-pin PQFP package with 5 V-only operation (4.5–5.5 V) and no LVD circuit - lacks low-voltage detection and 3.3 V compatibility. | Suitable only for legacy 5 V systems without brown-out requirements; not interchangeable in mixed-voltage or battery-backed designs. | Select HD64F36074G only when redesigning existing 5 V boards with identical footprint and no LVD needed. |
| H8/36077LF | Pin-compatible 64-pin LQFP variant with 32 KB ROM, 2 KB RAM, and identical peripheral set - reduced memory size but same clock, I/O, and timer capabilities. | Better suited for cost-optimized applications where firmware fits in 32 KB and 2 KB RAM suffices (e.g., simple sensor nodes or basic timers). | Choose H8/36077LF when firmware size is ≤32 KB and memory headroom is not required - saves cost without changing PCB layout. |
Compared with DF36074LHV, HD64F36074G sacrifices voltage flexibility and safety features for legacy compatibility, while H8/36077LF offers identical pinout and peripherals at lower memory capacity - enabling scalable BOM management across product tiers.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the DF36074LHV?
The DF36074LHV supports a maximum system clock frequency of 20 MHz when using an external crystal or clock source. This frequency is achievable across the full industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +85 °C) and at supply voltages from 3.0 V to 5.5 V. The internal RC oscillator can be trimmed to operate within ±1% accuracy up to 20 MHz, though external sources are recommended for timing-critical applications like UART communication or PWM generation. DF36074LHV maintains full peripheral functionality and interrupt latency guarantees at this maximum rate.
Does the DF36074LHV support 3.3 V operation?
Yes, the DF36074LHV is fully specified for 3.3 V operation, with a guaranteed supply voltage range of 3.0 V to 5.5 V. All I/O pins are 5 V-tolerant when configured as inputs, and output drive strength remains consistent across this range. The low-voltage detection (LVD) circuit includes a 3.3 V threshold setting, enabling safe brown-out response in 3.3 V systems. DF36074LHV's internal clock generator, timers, SCI modules, and RAM retain full functionality at 3.3 V, making it suitable for modern low-power embedded designs without level shifters.
How many serial communication interfaces does the DF36074LHV include?
The DF36074LHV integrates three independent full-duplex serial communication interfaces (SCI0, SCI1, SCI2), each supporting asynchronous UART operation with programmable baud rates, parity, stop bits, and framing error detection. These SCIs are mapped to dedicated pins on Port 2 and Port 3 and operate independently - enabling simultaneous use for debugging (SCI0), sensor telemetry (SCI1), and network communication (SCI2). DF36074LHV's SCI modules support automatic wake-up on RX activity and hardware flow control signals, enhancing reliability in noisy industrial environments.
What is the memory configuration of the DF36074LHV?
The DF36074LHV contains 64 KB of on-chip mask ROM for program storage and 4 KB of on-chip RAM for data and stack operations. The ROM is non-volatile and programmed during manufacturing, ensuring firmware integrity and eliminating external boot memory. The RAM is SRAM with byte- and word-access capability, supporting fast variable storage and interrupt service routine contexts. DF36074LHV does not include EEPROM or flash memory; persistent data storage must be implemented externally or via ROM-resident lookup tables.
Is the DF36074LHV pin-compatible with other H8/36074 Group devices?
Yes, the DF36074LHV is pin-compatible with other members of the H8/36074 Group in the same 64-pin LQFP package, including the HD64F36074G and H8/36074GF variants. All share identical pin assignments for power, reset, clock, I/O ports, and peripheral signals. However, functional differences exist - for example, DF36074LHV supports dual-voltage operation and includes low-voltage detection, while HD64F36074G is 5 V-only and lacks LVD. DF36074LHV's pinout matches the official H8/36074 Group Hardware Manual Rev. 3.00, confirming mechanical and electrical interchangeability within the LQFP-64 footprint.
