Product details
Overview
DF38004H4V from Renesas Electronics is an 8-bit single-chip microcontroller in the H8/38004 Group, featuring a 16 MHz H8/300L CPU core, 16 KB mask ROM, 1 KB RAM, and integrated 10-bit × 4-channel ADC, SCI UART, LCD controller (25 seg × 4 com), and multiple timers - deployed in industrial control panels and low-power instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the DF38004H4V datasheet, DF38004H4V pinout, DF38004H4V application, or DF38004H4V equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (FP-64A), confirmed I/O count (54 total pins), operating voltage range (4.5–5.5 V), clock architecture, and functional alternatives for legacy H8-based system maintenance and redesign.
Technical Context
The DF38004H4V implements the H8/300L CPU core with full instruction set compatibility to the H8/300, supporting 16 MHz operation at 4.5–5.5 V supply. It integrates on-chip peripherals including Timer A (clock), Timer F (compare), AEC timer, WDT, and one-channel SCI with UART/clock frequency mode.
It features a 10-bit successive-approximation ADC with four input channels, a dedicated LCD controller driving up to 100 segments (25 × 4), and 11 external interrupt sources (8 internal wakeup-capable). The device uses a fixed-function memory map with no external bus interface.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | H8/300L - 16-bit internal data path, 8-bit ALU, instruction-compatible with H8/300 for legacy code reuse. |
| Max Operating Frequency | 16 MHz - defines real-time response limit for timer interrupts, SCI baud rate generation, and ADC sampling timing. |
| ROM/Flash Type | Mask ROM (16 KB) - factory-programmed, non-reprogrammable; suitable for high-volume, stable firmware deployments. |
| RAM Size | 1 KB - supports stack depth, local variables, and small buffer operations in embedded control loops. |
| ADC Resolution & Channels | 10-bit × 4 ch - enables precise analog sensing of temperature, voltage, or sensor signals with 1024-level quantization. |
| LCD Driver | 25 segment × 4 common - drives multiplexed character or segmented displays without external driver ICs. |
| Operating Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V logic systems and legacy industrial power rails. |
| Package | FP-64A - 64-pin plastic QFP, 0.5 mm pitch, surface-mount; validated for reflow soldering and industrial thermal cycling. |
Pinout & Package
DF38004H4V is housed in a 64-pin FP-64A plastic quad flat package (QFP) with 0.5 mm lead pitch, designed for industrial PCB assembly and thermal reliability across –20°C to +75°C ambient.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC, VSS | Power Supply / Ground | Dual VCC/VSS pairs ensure stable core and I/O rail decoupling; mandatory 0.1 µF ceramic bypass per pair. |
| OSC1, OSC2 | Crystal Oscillator Input/Output | Supports external quartz crystal (1–16 MHz) or ceramic resonator; internal oscillator not available in this variant. |
| RESET | Active-Low Reset Input | Asynchronous reset assertion clears CPU registers and initializes peripheral modules to known states. |

| AD0–AD3 | ADC Input Channels | Analog inputs mapped to P10–P13; require external RC filtering and reference voltage (AVCC/AVSS) stability. |
| TXD, RXD | SCI Serial Interface | Full-duplex UART signaling at up to 1 Mbps (at 16 MHz); supports asynchronous communication with host controllers or modems. |
| SEG0–SEG24, COM0–COM3 | LCD Segment/Common Drivers | Direct drive of static or 1/4-duty LCDs; eliminates need for external segment drivers in metering or panel display designs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip WDT with independent clock | Prevents system lockup via timeout-triggered reset; configurable window mode enhances safety in unattended operation. |
| 11 external interrupt sources | Enables responsive event handling from sensors, buttons, or communication lines without polling overhead. |
| SCI with clock-synchronized mode | Supports synchronous serial communication (e.g., SPI-like protocols) in addition to standard UART framing. |
| Low-power standby modes | HALT and STOP modes reduce current to <10 µA; ideal for battery-powered instrumentation with periodic wake-up. |
| Hardware AEC timer | Auto-reload event counter for precise interval timing (e.g., motor commutation, PWM synchronization) without CPU load. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| H8/38004H4V | Same base part number; H4V suffix denotes FP-64A package and 4.5–5.5 V operation - matches DF38004H4V exactly. | Identical functionality and pinout; used interchangeably in Renesas documentation. | Select when sourcing original-spec replacement with identical mask ROM content and qualification. |
| H8/3802F4V | Same FP-64A package, 16 MHz, 4.5–5.5 V, but with 16 KB mask ROM and 1 KB RAM - same memory size but different peripheral set (no LCD, different timer configuration). | Lacks LCD controller and AEC timer; suited for non-display control tasks where SCI and ADC remain critical. | Choose when LCD functionality is unnecessary and cost optimization favors simpler peripheral integration. |
Compared with DF38004H4V, H8/38004H4V offers identical electrical and mechanical compatibility for drop-in replacement, while H8/3802F4V trades LCD capability for reduced peripheral complexity - enabling design flexibility where display is omitted and legacy code portability is preserved.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for DF38004H4V?
The DF38004H4V operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V DC. This specification is fixed per the H8/38004 Group's Standard-grade qualification and must be maintained across all operating temperatures (–20°C to +75°C). Operation outside this range may cause undefined behavior or permanent damage. DF38004H4V does not support lower-voltage variants like the 2.7–3.6 V H8/38002S series.
Does DF38004H4V include an internal oscillator?
No, DF38004H4V requires an external timing source connected to OSC1 and OSC2 pins - either a quartz crystal (1–16 MHz) or ceramic resonator. The H8/38004 Group does not integrate a factory-trimmed RC oscillator; all clock generation depends on external components. DF38004H4V relies on this external clock for CPU execution, peripheral timing, and ADC sampling synchronization.
How many ADC channels does DF38004H4V support, and what is their resolution?
DF38004H4V supports four analog input channels (AD0–AD3) with 10-bit resolution using a successive-approximation architecture. Each channel maps to dedicated pins (P10–P13), and conversion time is 24 CPU clocks at 16 MHz. DF38004H4V provides no hardware averaging or oversampling; post-processing must be implemented in firmware if higher effective resolution is required.
Is DF38004H4V pin-compatible with other H8/38004 Group members?
Yes, DF38004H4V shares the FP-64A package and identical pin assignment with all H8/38004 Group variants (e.g., H8/38004H4V, H8/38004F4V). Pin functions, power domains, and I/O electrical characteristics are consistent across the group. DF38004H4V maintains full mechanical and signal-level compatibility - though firmware must match the specific ROM content and peripheral enablement of each variant.
What debug interface does DF38004H4V support?
DF38004H4V supports on-chip debugging via the H8/300L on-chip emulator, using dedicated pins P95 (emulator I/O), P33–P35 (emulator control), and address ranges H'7000–H'7FFF (emulator RAM). Debug access requires Renesas E8 or E10 emulator hardware and compatible IDE tools. DF38004H4V does not support JTAG or SWD; debugging is exclusively through the proprietary on-chip emulator interface.
