Product details
Overview
DF36912GFHV from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit single-chip microcontroller in the H8/36912 Group, featuring the H8/300H CPU core, 128 KB on-chip ROM, 8 KB RAM, and integrated peripherals including UART, I2C, 16-bit timer/counters, and 8-channel 10-bit ADC. It operates at up to 20 MHz and supports multiple low-power modes (Sleep, Standby, Subsleep) for embedded control in industrial and consumer systems.
For engineers reviewing the DF36912GFHV datasheet, DF36912GFHV pinout, DF36912GFHV application, or DF36912GFHV equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package mapping, functional specifications, and real-world use cases - all grounded in Renesas' official H8/36912 Group Hardware Manual Rev.3.00 (2006) and product identification documentation.
Technical Context
The DF36912GFHV implements the H8/300H CPU architecture with full instruction set compatibility to the legacy H8/300, supporting 16-bit data paths and 24-bit addressing. Its on-chip clock system includes an internal RC oscillator (trimmable ±1%), external crystal/ceramic resonator support (1–10 MHz), and programmable prescalers for system clock derivation.
Peripheral integration includes two asynchronous serial interfaces (UART), one I2C bus interface, eight 16-bit timer/counters with input capture/output compare, and an 8-channel 10-bit successive-approximation ADC with sample-and-hold. All modules are controlled via memory-mapped registers accessible in supervisor or user mode.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HD64F36912G | Same silicon die, identical ROM/RAM/peripherals; differs only in marking and packaging (plastic DIP vs. LQFP) | No change in firmware or hardware design - direct substitution with same pinout and electrical behavior | Select HD64F36912G only when through-hole assembly or legacy DIP footprint is required. |
| H8/36912F | Same functional specification but uses flash memory instead of mask ROM - supports field firmware updates | Requires bootloading infrastructure and flash programming sequence; not suitable for unchangeable production firmware | Choose H8/36912F if post-deployment firmware updates or prototyping flexibility are mandatory. |
Compared with DF36912GFHV, HD64F36912G offers identical functionality in a through-hole package for legacy manufacturing, while H8/36912F replaces mask ROM with flash for field-programmability - trading production cost and security for update capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum system clock frequency supported by DF36912GFHV?
The DF36912GFHV supports a maximum system clock frequency of 20 MHz, achievable using either the internal RC oscillator (with trimming), external crystal (up to 10 MHz with PLL multiplication), or external clock source. This frequency enables sub-50 ns instruction execution for time-critical control loops in motor drive and sensor interface applications. The DF36912GFHV's CKCSR register configures clock source selection and prescaler division ratios.
Does DF36912GFHV include on-chip debug capability?
Yes, DF36912GFHV supports on-chip debugging via Renesas E7 and E8 in-circuit emulators. Debug access uses the NMI pin and reserved memory regions (H'2000–H'2FFF and H'F980–H'FD7F). The DF36912GFHV does not require external JTAG hardware, enabling firmware validation without board-level debug headers - though NMI becomes unavailable for application use during emulation.
What type of memory technology is used for program storage in DF36912GFHV?
DF36912GFHV uses 128 KB of on-chip mask ROM for program storage. This non-volatile memory is programmed during wafer fabrication and cannot be modified in the field. It provides zero-latency execution, immunity to radiation-induced bit flips, and guaranteed firmware integrity - making DF36912GFHV ideal for safety-critical or tamper-resistant applications where firmware immutability is required.
How many analog-to-digital converter channels does DF36912GFHV provide?
DF36912GFHV integrates an 8-channel, 10-bit successive-approximation ADC with sample-and-hold circuitry. All eight channels (AD0–AD7) are mapped to dedicated pins and share a common reference voltage (AVCC/AVSS). The ADC supports software-triggered or timer-triggered conversions with configurable resolution and sampling rate - enabling simultaneous monitoring of multiple analog sensors without external multiplexers.
Is DF36912GFHV compatible with Renesas' H8/300H software development tools?
Yes, DF36912GFHV is fully compatible with Renesas' H8/300H Series Software Manual (REJ09B0213), C/C++ Compiler (REJ10B0058), and High-Performance Embedded Workshop 3 (REJ10B0026). Its instruction set, register map, and exception model align with the H8/300H architecture, allowing reuse of existing driver libraries and RTOS ports. Development for DF36912GFHV requires no toolchain modification beyond device-specific linker script configuration.
