Product details
Overview
HD407A4069H from Hitachi is a 4-bit microcontroller in the H400 series featuring 16KB × 10-bit ROM, 1024 × 4-bit RAM, 55 I/O lines, three 8-bit timers, and watchdog timer functionality. It operates across a wide supply range of 1.8 V to 6.0 V and supports Stop, Standby, and Subactive power modes. This device is designed for cost-sensitive embedded control applications requiring integrated timing, serial communication, and robust I/O handling - such as industrial panel controllers and appliance user-interface modules.
For engineers reviewing the HD407A4069H datasheet, HD407A4069H pinout, HD407A4069H application, or HD407A4069H equivalent, key selection criteria include its OTP (One-Time Programmable) ROM configuration, FP-64A package with 64 pins, synchronous serial interface (SCI), and support for 32 kHz subclock operation in low-power modes.
Technical Context
The HD407A4069H implements a dedicated 4-bit CPU core optimized for bit-level I/O and status flag manipulation, with 80% of instructions executing in a single cycle. Its architecture includes direct addressing to both ROM and RAM, bit manipulation capability on RAM and I/O ports, and binary/BCD arithmetic support.
It integrates a synchronous serial port (SCI) for host communication, three independent 8-bit timers with interrupt capability, and a watchdog timer for system reliability. Power management includes Stop, Standby, and Subactive modes, enabled by internal clock gating and subclock (32 kHz) support - critical for battery-powered or energy-constrained systems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 4-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HD407A4369S | Same 16KB ROM/1024 RAM, but DP-64S package (DIP-64) instead of FP-64A; no subclock support. | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board upgrades where surface-mount is not feasible. | Select HD407A4369S only when DIP packaging and absence of 32 kHz timing are acceptable. |
| HD407A4669H | Includes on-chip DTMF generator and 32seg×4com LCD driver; same FP-64A package and power specs. | Targeted at telecom handsets and feature phones requiring tone generation and basic display control. | Choose HD407A4669H if DTMF signaling or integrated LCD driving is required - otherwise HD407A4069H offers leaner BOM. |
Compared with HD407A4369S, HD407A4069H adds subclock capability for RTC functions and uses surface-mount packaging for higher-density layouts; versus HD407A4669H, it omits DTMF and LCD drivers, reducing cost and complexity for non-telecom applications.
