Product details
Overview
HD4074849H from Renesas Electronics is a 4-bit single-chip microcomputer with 16,384-word on-chip PROM, 1,184 × 4-bit RAM, 8-channel 8-bit A/D converter, LCD controller/driver (32 segments × 4 commons), and four low-power dissipation modes. It operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V and targets embedded instrumentation with integrated display and sensing.
For engineers reviewing the HD4074849H datasheet, HD4074849H pinout, HD4074849H application, or HD4074849H equivalent, this device supports MCU/PROM mode for rapid prototyping and mass production transition, features 35 I/O pins (including nine 15 mA high-current outputs), and integrates serial interface, timer/counters, and input capture - critical for portable medical monitors and industrial panel meters.
Technical Context
The HD4074849H implements an HMCS400-series architecture with a 14-bit program counter, ALU, and dedicated system control circuitry. It supports two operating modes: standard MCU mode (not applicable) and MCU/PROM mode - exclusive to HD4074849 variants - enabling in-system programming via ZTAT™ PROM write compatibility with 27256 specifications.
Its memory subsystem includes a 16,384-word × 10-bit PROM program area ($0000–$3FFF), 1,184 × 4-bit RAM mapped across data, stack, LCD, and register areas, and hardware-managed bank switching (V register) for dual-bank data access. The A/D converter operates at 2.7–5.5 V with AVCC/AVSS isolation, and the LCD driver supports software-controlled V1/V2/V3 voltage division.

FAQ
What is the programming method for HD4074849H PROM memory?
The HD4074849H PROM is programmed using standard 27256-compatible PROM writers. Programming specifications match those of the 27256 EPROM, including VPP voltage, timing, and address/data sequencing. HD4074849H must be operated in MCU/PROM mode during programming, and the TEST pin is reserved for factory use only - do not connect externally. Always verify programming with checksum or read-back validation before system integration.
Does HD4074849H support both crystal and ceramic resonator for the main oscillator?
Yes, HD4074849H supports ceramic resonators, crystal oscillators, or external clock sources on the OSC1/OSC2 pins. The internal oscillator circuit is designed for direct connection to a 3-terminal ceramic resonator (e.g., 4.5 MHz) without external capacitors. For crystals, appropriate load capacitors must be added per manufacturer recommendations. HD4074849H does not require external startup components for ceramic-based timing.
How does the LCD driver in HD4074849H handle contrast control?
The HD4074849H provides three software-controllable LCD bias pins (V1, V2, V3) that connect to internal resistor ladders. By setting these pins to different logic levels, designers select LCD voltage division ratios to adjust contrast dynamically - critical for maintaining readability across temperature and battery voltage ranges. The HD4074849H does not include automatic temperature compensation; contrast adjustment must be implemented in firmware using ambient sensor input.
What are the key differences between HD4074849H and HD404849H?
The HD4074849H uses 16-kword on-chip PROM and operates exclusively in MCU/PROM mode, while the HD404849H uses 16-kword mask ROM and runs in standard MCU mode. Both share identical pinout, package (FP-80A), peripherals, and electrical specs. HD4074849H enables field firmware updates and rapid prototyping; HD404849H offers lower unit cost for fixed-function, high-volume deployments. Neither is pin-compatible with non-HD4048xx variants.
Can HD4074849H operate from a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes, HD4074849H operates across 2.7 V to 5.5 V, fully supporting 3.3 V nominal supply. At 3.3 V, all peripherals - including the 8-bit A/D converter, LCD driver, and serial interface - function within specification. The A/D reference remains tied to AVCC, so AVCC must also be at 3.3 V and decoupled near the AVCC pin. Subactive mode extends functionality down to 2.2 V, allowing graceful degradation during brown-out conditions.
