Product details
Overview
HD6473726HV from Renesas Electronics is an 8-bit single-chip microcontroller in the H8/3724 Group, featuring an H8/300L CPU core, on-chip 14-bit PWM, dual serial interfaces (SCI), 8-channel 10-bit ADC, and high-voltage VFD driver pins for direct segment/anode control. It operates at up to 16 MHz with 64 KB ROM and 2 KB RAM, targeting embedded display control systems.
For engineers reviewing the HD6473726HV datasheet, HD6473726HV pinout, HD6473726HV application, or HD6473726HV equivalent, key selection criteria include VFD drive capability (up to 40 V), integrated analog-to-digital conversion, real-time interrupt response (< 1.5 µs), and compatibility with H8/300L instruction set for legacy code reuse.
Technical Context
The HD6473726HV implements the H8/300L CPU architecture with full instruction set compatibility to the H8/300, supporting 16-bit address space expansion and 24-bit linear addressing via bank switching. Its peripheral set includes five timers (one 16-bit free-run, two 8-bit I/O, one watchdog, one 16-bit input capture), a VFD controller with dedicated high-voltage output drivers (P70–P77, P60–P67), and dual asynchronous SCI modules with framing/error detection.
It integrates a 10-bit successive-approximation ADC with 8 input channels, sample-and-hold, and programmable conversion start triggers (software, timer, external). The chip supports three power modes - Active, Low-Voltage Wait, and Stop - with wake-up via external interrupt or internal timer event, enabling low-power display monitoring applications.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar VFD controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HD64F3726HV | Flash-memory version with same pinout and peripheral set; supports in-system programming and firmware updates. | Preferred for prototyping or field-upgradable products where mask ROM inflexibility is a constraint. | Select HD64F3726HV when firmware iteration or post-deployment updates are required; HD6473726HV remains optimal for high-volume, fixed-function production. |
| HD6473724HV | Same family, 48 KB ROM, no VFD high-voltage outputs on P6/P7; lacks direct VFD drive capability. | Suitable only for general-purpose control where external VFD drivers are acceptable. | Choose HD6473724HV only if VFD driving is handled externally and ROM size reduction is critical; HD6473726HV delivers full integration. |
Compared with HD64F3726HV and HD6473724HV, the HD6473726HV uniquely combines mask-ROM reliability, full VFD driver integration, and deterministic real-time performance - making it the most cost-effective and design-simple choice for high-volume, fixed-feature VFD display controllers.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for the VFD driver pins on the HD6473726HV?
The HD6473726HV features 16 dedicated high-voltage output pins (P60–P67 and P70–P77) rated for up to 40 V DC. These pins are designed to directly drive vacuum fluorescent display anodes and segments without external level-shifting components, supporting common industrial VFD configurations with cathode-grid-anode structures.
Does the HD6473726HV support in-system programming (ISP)?
No, the HD6473726HV uses mask-programmed ROM and does not support in-system programming. Firmware is fixed at manufacturing. For ISP capability, consider the flash-based alternative HD64F3726HV, which shares identical pinout and peripheral functionality but replaces mask ROM with 64 KB on-chip flash memory.
What clock sources are supported by the HD6473726HV?
The HD6473726HV supports external crystal or ceramic resonator connections on XIN/XOUT pins (1–16 MHz range), as well as external clock input on the CLK pin. Internal oscillator circuitry requires no external load capacitors in basic configurations, simplifying board layout for cost-sensitive VFD applications.
Is the HD6473726HV pin-compatible with other devices in the H8/3724 Group?
Yes, the HD6473726HV shares the same 100-pin MQFP package and pin assignment with other members of the H8/3724 Group, including HD6473724HV and HD64F3726HV. This allows hardware reuse across variants differing in ROM type (mask vs. flash) or peripheral enablement, provided firmware accounts for functional differences.
What is the ADC resolution and channel count on the HD6473726HV?
The HD6473726HV integrates an 8-channel, 10-bit successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter. It supports software- or timer-triggered conversions with sample-and-hold, enabling accurate sensing of analog inputs such as temperature, light intensity, or potentiometer position in VFD-based control systems.
