Product details
Overview
DF38602RFT4V from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit single-chip microcomputer in the H8/300H Super Low Power Series, featuring an H8/300H CPU core with H8/300 instruction set compatibility, 128 KB on-chip ROM, 8 KB RAM, and integrated peripherals including 3-channel SCI, 2-channel timer units, and 8-channel 10-bit ADC. It operates at up to 20 MHz with 2.7–5.5 V supply and targets embedded control in industrial and office equipment.
For engineers reviewing the DF38602RFT4V datasheet, DF38602RFT4V pinout, DF38602RFT4V application, or DF38602RFT4V equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package mapping, functional specifications, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for design-in and BOM continuity planning.
Technical Context
The DF38602RFT4V implements the H8/300H CPU architecture with 16-bit data bus and 24-bit address space, supporting both internal and external memory expansion. It integrates clock generation with main oscillator (1–20 MHz), subclock (32.768 kHz), and dual prescalers (S/W) for flexible system timing.
Peripheral integration includes three serial communication interfaces (SCI0–SCI2) with asynchronous/full-duplex operation, two 16-bit timer units (each with input capture/output compare), and an 8-channel 10-bit successive-approximation ADC with sample-and-hold. All modules are memory-mapped and controlled via dedicated registers accessible in supervisor or user mode.

Pinout & Package
DF38602RFT4V is housed in a 100-pin LQFP (14 mm × 14 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) package with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions include multiplexed I/O, dedicated reset, NMI, clock inputs (OSC1/OSC2, SUBCLK), and peripheral-specific signals (e.g., RXD/TXD, AD0–AD7, TO0–TO1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC, VSS | Power supply and ground | Dual VCC/VSS pairs per quadrant ensure stable core/peripheral rail decoupling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F38602KFP | Same H8/38602R core, but with 64 KB ROM and 4 KB RAM; uses 80-pin PQFP package | Lower memory capacity and reduced I/O count limit use in simpler control tasks without multi-sensor or comms requirements | Select when cost-sensitive designs require reduced feature set and smaller PCB footprint |
| H8/38600R | Pin-compatible variant with no on-chip ROM - requires external program memory; same RAM, peripherals, and clock architecture | Used where field-upgradable firmware is mandatory and external flash is already part of system architecture | Choose only if external memory interface is available and boot flexibility outweighs ROM integration benefits |
Compared with DF38602RFT4V, R5F38602KFP offers lower memory and I/O but reduced cost and size, while H8/38600R removes on-chip ROM entirely - requiring external memory and altering boot architecture - making DF38602RFT4V preferable for self-contained, tamper-resistant embedded control.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the DF38602RFT4V?
The DF38602RFT4V operates at a maximum frequency of 20 MHz when powered within its specified 2.7–5.5 V supply range and using the on-chip oscillator with an external crystal up to 20 MHz. This frequency is sustained across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and enables deterministic execution of real-time control algorithms without overclocking risk.
Does the DF38602RFT4V include on-chip flash or ROM memory?
The DF38602RFT4V includes 128 KB of on-chip mask ROM - not flash - meaning firmware is permanently programmed during manufacturing and cannot be reprogrammed in-system. This provides immunity to accidental overwrite and suits applications where firmware stability and security are prioritized over field updates.
Can the DF38602RFT4V operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the DF38602RFT4V supports a 3.3 V nominal supply within its 2.7–5.5 V operating range. At 3.3 V, it maintains full functionality including 20 MHz operation, ADC accuracy, and peripheral timing - making it compatible with standard 3.3 V logic families and mixed-voltage system designs without level-shifting.
How many serial communication interfaces does the DF38602RFT4V support?
The DF38602RFT4V supports three independent Serial Communication Interfaces (SCI0–SCI2), each configurable as asynchronous, full-duplex UARTs. These interfaces share no hardware resources, allowing simultaneous use for host communication, sensor telemetry, and diagnostics - all without CPU overhead from software bit-banging.
Is the DF38602RFT4V pin-compatible with other H8/38602R variants?
Yes, the DF38602RFT4V shares the same 100-pin LQFP package and pinout with other members of the H8/38602R Group, including HD64F38602R and HD64338602R. This allows direct substitution in existing designs where memory or peripheral configuration differences do not impact system behavior.
