Product details
Overview
DF38102HV from Renesas Electronics is an 8-bit single-chip microcontroller in the H8/38104 Group, featuring a H8/300L CPU core, 16 kB mask ROM, 1 kB RAM, 10-bit × 4-channel ADC, and integrated LCD controller (25 seg × 4 com). It operates at up to 20 MHz over 2.7–5.5 V and targets ultra-low-power embedded control applications such as portable instrumentation and battery-powered displays.
For engineers reviewing the DF38102HV datasheet, DF38102HV pinout, DF38102HV application, or DF38102HV equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping to FP-64A, confirmed I/O count (39 total), real-time timer architecture (Timer A/F + WDT), and functional alternatives for H8/38102-series migration or supply continuity planning.
Technical Context
The DF38102HV implements the H8/300L CPU with full instruction set compatibility to the legacy H8/300, supporting 16-bit addressing and 8/16-bit data operations. Its on-chip peripheral set includes one UART-compatible SCI channel, four 10-bit ADC input channels with sample-and-hold, and dedicated LCD segment/com drivers enabling direct drive of multiplexed character displays.
Power management is supported via low-voltage detection (LVD) and power-on reset (POR), both active across the full 2.7–5.5 V operating range. The device uses an internal high-speed oscillator or external crystal/resonator (via OSC1/OSC2 pins) and supports multiple clock source switching for dynamic power optimization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | H8/300L 8-bit RISC core, instruction-compatible with H8/300; enables reuse of legacy firmware and toolchains. |
| ROM Capacity | 16 kB mask ROM - factory-programmed, non-reprogrammable storage ideal for high-volume, cost-sensitive fixed-function designs. |
| RAM Size | 1 kB on-chip RAM - sufficient for stack, variables, and small buffers in real-time sensor/control loops. |
| ADC Resolution | 10-bit × 4-channel SAR ADC - delivers 1 LSB = ~4.9 mV @ 5 V reference, suitable for precision analog sensing (e.g., thermistor, potentiometer). |
| LCD Driver | 25 segment × 4 common outputs - drives up to 100-segment static or 4-mux LCDs without external bias or driver ICs. |
| Operating Voltage | 2.7–5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V), dual-AA (2.4–3.2 V), and 5 V rail systems without level-shifting. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 20 MHz - enables sub-100 ns instruction cycle time for responsive real-time control (e.g., motor commutation, PWM update). |
Pinout & Package
DF38102HV is housed in a 64-pin plastic flat package (FP-64A), measuring 14.0 mm × 14.0 mm × 2.45 mm, with 0.8 mm lead pitch and gull-wing leads. This RoHS-compliant package supports standard surface-mount reflow assembly and offers thermal resistance (θJA) of 45°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC, VSS | Power supply and ground | Dual VCC/VSS pairs ensure stable core and I/O rail decoupling; mandatory 0.1 µF ceramic capacitors per pair. |
| OSC1, OSC2 | Crystal/resonator interface | Supports 1–20 MHz external crystals or ceramic resonators; internal oscillator circuit eliminates need for external clock source. |
| P10–P17, P20–P27, P30–P37, P40–P47, P50–P57, P60–P67, P70–P77, P90–P97 | General-purpose I/O ports | 39 total I/O lines - configurable as input, output, or alternate function (e.g., SCI TX/RX, ADC IN, LCD SEG/COM); pull-up resistors programmable per port. |
| AD0–AD3 | ADC input channels | Four dedicated analog inputs mapped to P10–P13; share pins with digital I/O but require analog input mode configuration and sampling timing control. |
| SEG0–SEG24, COM0–COM3 | LCD segment/common outputs | Direct-drive outputs with internal bias generation; support static, 2-, 3-, or 4-mux LCDs; require no external voltage dividers or charge pumps. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low-power operation | Active current < 5 mA @ 20 MHz / 5 V; standby current < 1 µA with RTC and LVD enabled - extends battery life in portable meters. |
| Integrated LCD controller | Hardware-multiplexed 25×4 driver eliminates external LCD bias IC and reduces BOM count by ≥3 components. |
| On-chip debug interface | Single-pin on-chip emulator (OCE) via P95 - enables full debugging (breakpoints, memory access) without JTAG header or trace pins. |
| Robust reset architecture | Combined POR + LVD with programmable trip points ensures reliable startup and brown-out recovery across temperature and supply variance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| H8/38102H | Same H8/38102 family, identical pinout and peripherals, but rated for –20 to 75°C (Standard) vs. –40 to 85°C (WTR) for DF38102HV. | Not qualified for extended industrial temperature range; unsuitable for outdoor or uncontrolled-ambient deployments. | Select DF38102HV when operation beyond 75°C ambient is required; H8/38102H suffices for office or indoor consumer use. |
| H8/38104H | 32 kB mask ROM, same package and I/O, but adds POR circuitry absent in DF38102HV; otherwise identical peripheral set and clock specs. | Enables more complex firmware (e.g., multi-language UI, calibration tables) while retaining same footprint and LCD/ADC functionality. | Choose H8/38104H if firmware size exceeds 16 kB or POR is mandatory; DF38102HV remains optimal for cost-sensitive, fixed-feature designs. |
Compared with H8/38102H, DF38102HV adds extended temperature qualification and higher reliability screening; versus H8/38104H, it trades ROM capacity for lower unit cost and smaller die size-making DF38102HV the preferred choice for thermally demanding, volume-sensitive applications where code size ≤16 kB.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range specified for DF38102HV?
The DF38102HV is qualified for the Wide Temperature Range (WTR) grade: –40°C to +85°C. This specification is documented in the H8/3802, H8/38004, H8/38002S, and H8/38104 Group Hardware Manual (Rev. 7.00, March 2010), confirming its suitability for industrial and outdoor environments where thermal stability is critical. DF38102HV maintains full electrical performance across this range without derating.
Does DF38102HV include a power-on reset (POR) circuit?
Yes, DF38102HV integrates a POR circuit as part of its system-control module. According to the H8/3802 Group Hardware Manual, POR is explicitly listed under "Timers" and "System Control" features for the H8/38104 Group, to which DF38102HV belongs. This ensures deterministic initialization at power-up without requiring external reset ICs.
Can DF38102HV drive a 4-digit 7-segment LCD directly?
Yes, DF38102HV can drive a 4-digit 7-segment LCD directly using its built-in 25-segment × 4-common LCD controller. With 4 commons and up to 25 segments, it supports static or 4-mux configurations - sufficient for 4 digits × 7 segments + decimal points. No external bias generator or voltage booster is needed, as the internal circuit provides appropriate segment voltage levels.
What is the maximum ADC sampling rate achievable with DF38102HV?
The DF38102HV's 10-bit successive approximation ADC supports a maximum conversion time of 25 µs per channel, enabling up to 40 kSPS aggregate sampling rate when using all four channels in sequence. This value is derived from the H8/38104 Group's electrical characteristics table specifying "A/D conversion time: 25 µs (max)" under typical conditions (VCC = 5 V, fCLK = 20 MHz).
Is DF38102HV pin-compatible with other members of the H8/38104 Group?
Yes, DF38102HV shares the FP-64A package and identical pin assignment with all H8/38104 Group variants including H8/38104H and H8/38102H. Pin functions (e.g., P10 = AD0, P95 = OCE) and electrical characteristics are consistent across the group, enabling drop-in replacement within the same temperature grade and memory configuration.
