Product details
Overview
DF38002H4V from Renesas Electronics is an 8-bit single-chip microcontroller in the H8/38002 Group, featuring a 16 kHz–16 MHz H8/300L CPU core, 16 KB mask ROM, 1 KB RAM, and integrated 10-bit × 4-channel ADC, UART (SCI), LCD controller (25 seg × 4 com), and multiple timers. It targets low-power embedded control in consumer and industrial appliances.
For engineers reviewing the DF38002H4V datasheet, DF38002H4V pinout, DF38002H4V application, or DF38002H4V equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping, functional specifications, real-world use scenarios, and validated alternative options for design-in and supply continuity.
Technical Context
The DF38002H4V implements the H8/300L CPU architecture with instruction set compatibility to the H8/300, supporting 16-bit addressing and CISC-style execution. It integrates system-level peripherals including a programmable watchdog timer (WDT), power-on reset (POR), low-voltage detection (LVD), and 11 external interrupt sources with internal wake-up capability.
Operating voltage ranges from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, enabling flexible power supply design across battery- and line-powered applications. The on-chip LCD controller supports static and multiplexed displays up to 25 segments and 4 commons without external bias circuitry, reducing BOM count and board space.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F38002H4V | Same pinout and peripheral set, but uses Flash ROM instead of mask ROM - supports firmware updates in production | Preferred where field firmware upgrades or prototyping flexibility are required | Select R5F38002H4V if post-deployment code revision is needed; DF38002H4V remains optimal for high-volume, fixed-function designs |
| H8/38004FPV | Same FP-64A package and core, but with 32 KB mask ROM and identical RAM/peripherals - higher memory capacity only | Suitable when application firmware exceeds 16 KB or future expansion headroom is mandated | Choose H8/38004FPV only if code size exceeds 16 KB; otherwise DF38002H4V offers cost and supply-chain advantage |
Compared with R5F38002H4V and H8/38004FPV, DF38002H4V delivers optimal cost-performance balance for fixed-function, high-volume embedded control where mask ROM reliability, lower unit cost, and guaranteed firmware immutability are prioritized over field programmability or memory headroom.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the DF38002H4V?
The DF38002H4V supports a maximum operating frequency of 16 MHz when powered at 4.5–5.5 V. At reduced supply voltages (2.7–3.6 V), the maximum clock rate is limited to 10 MHz to ensure timing margin and stability. This dual-voltage scalability allows DF38002H4V to serve both legacy 5 V systems and modern low-voltage portable designs without performance compromise.
Does the DF38002H4V include an on-chip debug interface?
Yes, the DF38002H4V incorporates an on-chip emulator (OCE) supporting in-circuit debugging via dedicated pins (P95, P33–P35). When active, the OCE reserves address ranges H'7000–H'7FFF and H'F780–H'FB7F, and restricts use of P95 and P33–P35 for general I/O. Debug access requires Renesas E8/E8a emulators and High-performance Embedded Workshop IDE.
Can the DF38002H4V drive a 1/3-bias LCD?
No - the DF38002H4V's LCD controller supports only static, 1/2-bias, and 1/4-bias configurations (up to 4 commons). It does not implement 1/3-bias drive logic or waveform generation. For 1/3-bias displays, an external LCD driver or alternate MCU such as the H8/38104 Group (supporting 1/3-bias) must be selected.
Is the DF38002H4V qualified for automotive applications?
No - the DF38002H4V is rated for standard commercial/industrial temperature range (–20°C to +75°C) and classified as "Standard" grade per Renesas quality policy. It is not AEC-Q100 qualified and lacks automotive-specific features like extended temperature support (–40°C to +125°C), enhanced ESD immunity, or fault-tolerant peripherals required for vehicle ECUs.
What packaging options are available for the DF38002H4V?
The DF38002H4V is exclusively offered in the FP-64A 64-pin plastic flat-pack package (14.0 mm × 14.0 mm, 0.8 mm pitch). No QFP, LQFP, or die variants exist for this specific part number. Alternate packages like FP-64E or TNP-64B apply only to other members of the H8/38002 family (e.g., DF38002S), not DF38002H4V.
