FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the DF71252N50FPV#Z1?
The DF71252N50FPV#Z1 operates at a maximum frequency of 50 MHz, achieved via its integrated Clock Pulse Generator (CPG) with PLL circuitry. This frequency is specified under full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and 3.0–3.6 V supply conditions. The DF71252N50FPV#Z1 maintains timing compliance across this range without derating, enabling consistent real-time performance in embedded control applications.
Does the DF71252N50FPV#Z1 support CAN FD or only classical CAN?
The DF71252N50FPV#Z1 supports only classical CAN 2.0B (up to 1 Mbps), not CAN FD. Its dual CAN controllers implement ISO 11898-1:2003 compliant message handling with 32 message objects per channel and hardware acceptance filtering. CAN FD frame format, higher data rates (>1 Mbps), and extended data length are not supported in the SH7125 Group hardware. DF71252N50FPV#Z1 remains suitable for legacy and cost-optimized CAN networks where FD bandwidth is unnecessary.
How much on-chip Flash and RAM does the DF71252N50FPV#Z1 include?
The DF71252N50FPV#Z1 integrates 128 KB of on-chip Flash memory and 8 KB of SRAM. The Flash supports in-application programming (IAP) and includes 1 KB of EEPROM emulation functionality for nonvolatile data storage. The SRAM is unified and accessible by both CPU and DMA, with no cache coherency requirements due to the SH-2 architecture's deterministic memory model. This memory configuration is fixed for the DF71252N50FPV#Z1 variant.
Is the DF71252N50FPV#Z1 pin-compatible with other SH7125 Group members?
Yes, the DF71252N50FPV#Z1 is pin-compatible with other 144-pin LQFP variants in the SH7125 Group, including R5F71252N50FPV#Z1 and R5F71254N50FPV#Z1. All share identical pin assignments, power sequencing, and reset behavior per the SH7125 Group Hardware Manual Rev.5.00. Differences lie solely in memory size (e.g., 256 KB Flash in R5F71254) and peripheral enablement - verified by register-level compatibility testing documented in Renesas application notes.
What development tools are officially supported for the DF71252N50FPV#Z1?
Renesas officially supports the High-performance Embedded Workshop (HEW) v3.x IDE with the SH C/C++ Compiler Package V.9.00 for DF71252N50FPV#Z1 firmware development. Debugging is enabled via the E8/E10 emulator interface using the standard 14-pin JTAG connector defined in the hardware manual. The DF71252N50FPV#Z1 also supports flash programming through the on-chip bootloader accessed via SCI or CAN, eliminating need for external programmers in production.
