Product details
Overview
HD4074394SV from Renesas Electronics is a 4-bit ZTAT™ PROM-based microcontroller in the HMCS400 family, designed for compact embedded control with integrated A/D conversion, dual timers, and serial interface. It features 4,096-word PROM, 256-digit × 4-bit RAM, 21 I/O pins (including 5 high-current NMOS open-drain outputs), and operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V at 1 µs instruction cycle (fOSC = 4 MHz). It targets low-power industrial sensor interfaces and appliance control systems.
For engineers reviewing the HD4074394SV datasheet, HD4074394SV pinout, HD4074394SV application, or HD4074394SV equivalent, key selection considerations include its 8-bit × 3-channel A/D converter with dedicated Vref pin, ceramic oscillator support, two low-power modes (standby/stop), and NMOS open-drain I/O architecture optimized for direct LED or relay drive without external buffers.
Technical Context
The HD4074394SV implements a Harvard-architecture 4-bit CPU core with 14-bit program counter, 10-bit stack pointer, and ALU supporting bit-manipulation instructions. Its memory map includes vector address area ($0000–$000F), zero-page subroutine space ($0000–$003F), and 4-kword PROM program area ($0000–$0FFF).
It integrates a clock-synchronous 8-bit serial interface (1 channel), two independent timer/counters (free-running + reload), one event counter with programmable edge detection, and a watchdog timer. The A/D converter uses an internal ladder resistor network referenced to the dedicated Vref pin, enabling precise 8-bit conversions across three analog inputs (AN1–AN3).

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding instruction cycle time for HD4074394SV?
The HD4074394SV achieves a 1 µs instruction cycle time when operated with a 4 MHz ceramic oscillator or external clock source. This timing is guaranteed across the full operating voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V and ambient temperature range of –20 °C to +75 °C, enabling deterministic real-time execution for time-critical control tasks in the HD4074394SV.
Does HD4074394SV support external crystal oscillators, or is it limited to ceramic resonators?
The HD4074394SV supports both ceramic resonators (parallel-mode) on OSC1/OSC2 pins and external CMOS clock input applied to OSC1 only. It does not support series-mode crystals or Pierce configurations. The internal oscillator circuit is optimized for 4 MHz ceramic units, and external clock drive must meet TTL/CMOS voltage thresholds specified in the HD4074394SV datasheet.
How many analog input channels does HD4074394SV provide, and what is the reference configuration?
The HD4074394SV provides exactly three 8-bit analog input channels: AN1, AN2, and AN3. Unlike variants such as HD4074344SV, it excludes AN0. It uses a dedicated Vref pin (Pin 12/13) to set the A/D converter's reference voltage, enabling precise ratiometric measurements independent of VCC fluctuations - a key differentiator in the HD4074394SV.
What are the I/O drive capabilities of HD4074394SV, and which pins support high-current sinking?
The HD4074394SV offers 21 I/O pins: 3 intermediate-voltage NMOS open-drain outputs and 5 standard-voltage NMOS open-drain outputs rated for 15 mA sink current each (D1, D2, R13–R23). These pins can directly drive LEDs, small relays, or logic inputs without external buffers - a defining feature of the HD4074394SV's system-integration advantage.
Is HD4074394SV pin-compatible with other members of the HD404394 series, such as HD404394FP?
Yes, HD4074394SV shares identical pinout, electrical characteristics, and functional register mapping with mask-ROM variants like HD404394FP and HD404394S across DP-28S, FP-28DA, and FP-30D packages. The only functional difference is the PROM programmability of HD4074394SV versus fixed firmware in HD404394FP - making HD4074394SV a drop-in replacement for development and qualification.
