Renesas HD6417615ARFV

Overview

HD6417615ARFV from Renesas Electronics is a 32-bit RISC microcontroller in the SuperH™ SH7600 Series, featuring an integrated Ethernet controller (EtherC), dual SCIF serial interfaces, DMA controller, and real-time clock. It operates at up to 60 MHz with 16 KB on-chip RAM, supports SDRAM/SDRAM interfaces, and targets embedded networking applications requiring deterministic real-time control and wired connectivity.

For engineers reviewing the HD6417615ARFV datasheet, HD6417615ARFV pinout, HD6417615ARFV application, or HD6417615ARFV equivalent, key selection criteria include its FP-208CV package, 208-pin LQFP layout, integrated 10/100 Mbps Ethernet MAC, dual-channel FIFO-equipped SCIF, and support for synchronous DRAM up to 256 Mbit - all critical for industrial gateways, networked HMI, and protocol-converged edge controllers.

Technical Context

The HD6417615ARFV implements the SH-2 CPU core with 32-bit address/data buses, integrated bus state controller (BSC), and memory management unit (MMU) support. Its EtherC module provides full-duplex 10/100 Mbps MAC functionality with MII interface, programmable interrupt priority, and hardware-assisted frame filtering.

On-chip peripherals include two SCIF channels with 16-byte FIFOs, compare match timer (CMT), watchdog timer (WDT), real-time clock (RTC), and programmable pin function controller (PFC). The device supports multiple clock modes via PLL and external crystal (1–20 MHz), with configurable endian mode per memory area.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the HD6417615ARFV?

The HD6417615ARFV operates at a maximum CPU frequency of 60 MHz when using the internal PLL with an external crystal oscillator in clock mode 0. This frequency is confirmed in the SH7615 Hardware Manual Rev. 2.00, Section 3.2.1, and applies specifically to the HD6417615ARFV in FP-208CV package under 3.3 V ±5% supply conditions.

Does the HD6417615ARFV include an integrated Ethernet PHY?

No, the HD6417615ARFV integrates only the Ethernet MAC layer (EtherC) and requires an external PHY device connected via the MII interface. Pins ETXD0–ETXD3, ERXD0–ERXD3, MDC, and MDIO provide the physical interface to a compliant 10/100 Mbps PHY such as the DP83848 or LAN8720.

What package type is used for the HD6417615ARFV?

The HD6417615ARFV uses the FP-208CV package: a 208-pin Low Profile Quad Flat Package with 0.5 mm lead pitch and JEDEC MO-220 compliant outline. This is explicitly stated in the SH7615 Hardware Manual Rev. 2.00, Section 1.3.1, and distinguishes it from the BP-240A/BP-240AV variants.

Can the HD6417615ARFV interface directly with SDRAM chips?

Yes, the HD6417615ARFV includes a dedicated synchronous DRAM controller supporting 64 Mbit, 128 Mbit, and 256 Mbit SDRAM configurations (e.g., 8 Mword × 32-bit). Configuration is performed via the MCR register, and timing parameters like TRP are programmable per the SH7615 Hardware Manual Section 7.5.11.

What development tools are officially supported for the HD6417615ARFV?

Renesas officially supports the High-performance Embedded Workshop IDE, SH-2 C/C++ Compiler (REJ10B0152), and the SH-1/SH-2/SH-DSP Software Manual (REJ09B0171) for HD6417615ARFV firmware development. These tools target the SH-2 instruction set and provide debugging via JTAG or H-UDI interface.
