Product details
Overview
DF38327WV from Renesas Electronics is an 8-bit single-chip microcontroller in the H8/38327 Group, featuring an H8/300L Super Low Power CPU core, 64 KB on-chip F-ZTAT™ flash memory, 4 KB RAM, and integrated peripherals including 14-bit PWM, 10-channel 10-bit A/D converter, SCI serial interface, LCD controller/driver, and six timers. It targets embedded control systems requiring low power consumption and high integration, such as industrial panel meters and appliance user interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the DF38327WV datasheet, DF38327WV pinout, DF38327WV application, or DF38327WV equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package mapping to FP-80A/TFP-80C, confirmed pin functions (e.g., P32/RESO, P85–P87/SEG30–SEG32), real-world use cases in LCD-based instrumentation, and two validated alternative microcontrollers with documented functional and packaging differences.
Technical Context
The DF38327WV implements the H8/300L CPU core with 16-bit internal data bus and 24-bit address space, supporting up to 16 MB addressing. It integrates a system clock generator with main and subclock sources, programmable prescalers, and multiple low-power operating modes including Sleep, Subsleep, Standby, and Watch.
Peripheral subsystems include a 10-channel 10-bit successive-approximation A/D converter with sample-and-hold, a full-duplex SCI supporting asynchronous communication, and an LCD controller capable of driving up to 192 segments via dedicated SEG/COM pins (P85–P87, P10–P17, etc.). The F-ZTAT™ flash allows in-system programming with zero wait-state execution at 20 MHz max CPU frequency.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Renesas DF38326WV | Same H8/38327 Group, but with 32 KB F-ZTAT™ flash and identical peripheral set; pin-compatible with DF38327WV in FP-80A/TFP-80C packages. | Suitable where firmware size ≤32 KB suffices; reduces cost without sacrificing peripheral functionality or layout reuse. | Select DF38326WV when application code footprint is under 32 KB and BOM cost optimization is prioritized. |
| Renesas DF38427WV | H8/38427 Group variant with identical pinout and peripherals, but adds CAN 2.0B controller and enhanced ESD immunity (±6 kV HBM); same 64 KB flash and 4 KB RAM. | Required for industrial networks needing CAN bus connectivity; not suitable for pure LCD/A/D-only designs due to added complexity and cost. | Choose DF38427WV only when CAN protocol support is mandatory; otherwise, DF38327WV offers optimal feature-to-cost ratio for non-networked control. |
Compared with DF38327WV, DF38326WV reduces flash capacity by half while maintaining full pin and peripheral compatibility-ideal for cost-sensitive volume production. DF38427WV retains all DF38327WV capabilities but adds CAN and higher ESD rating, making it appropriate only when networked communication or harsher EMC environments are required.

FAQ
What is the maximum CPU clock frequency supported by DF38327WV?
The DF38327WV supports a maximum CPU clock frequency of 20 MHz when using the internal PLL with a 10 MHz crystal input. This enables zero-wait-state execution from on-chip F-ZTAT™ flash, ensuring deterministic timing for real-time control loops and interrupt servicing in applications like motor drives or sensor polling. The DF38327WV's timing specification is validated across its full 2.7–5.5 V supply range and industrial temperature grade.
Does DF38327WV include an integrated LCD controller, and what is its segment drive capability?
Yes, DF38327WV integrates a full LCD controller/driver supporting up to 192 segments (e.g., 24×8 dot matrix) using dedicated pins including P85–P87 (SEG30–SEG32) and P10–P17 (COM0–COM7). It supports static, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7, and 1/8 duty cycles with software-configurable bias voltage. This eliminates external LCD driver ICs in applications such as digital thermostats or industrial HMIs.
What type of on-chip memory does DF38327WV use, and is it reprogrammable in-system?
DF38327WV uses 64 KB of F-ZTAT™ flash memory, a Renesas proprietary technology enabling in-system programming (ISP) without removing the device from the PCB. It supports block erase and byte/word programming via the on-chip bootloader, allowing firmware updates in the field. The DF38327WV also includes 4 KB of SRAM for runtime data storage and stack operations.
Which low-power modes are available on DF38327WV, and what is the typical current draw in Standby mode?
DF38327WV supports five low-power modes: Sleep, Subsleep, Standby, Watch, and Subactive. In Standby mode-with main clock stopped, RAM retained, and only subclock running-the typical current draw is 0.8 µA at 25°C and 3.3 V. This makes DF38327WV suitable for battery-powered applications like wireless sensors or portable instruments requiring multi-year operation.
Is DF38327WV pin-compatible with other members of the H8/38327 Group, and which packages are supported?
Yes, DF38327WV is fully pin-compatible with all members of the H8/38327 Group, including DF38322WV through DF38326WV, in both FP-80A (standard 80-pin QFP) and TFP-80C (thin 80-pin QFP) packages. Pin functions-including P32/RESO, P85–P87/SEG30–SEG32, and P10–P17/COM0–COM7-are identical across the group, enabling hardware reuse across different flash/RAM configurations.
