Renesas M30201F6TFP

Overview

M30201F6TFP from Renesas Technology Corp. is a 16-bit single-chip microcontroller in the M16C family, featuring 48 KB on-chip Flash ROM, 1 KB RAM, and integrated peripherals including Timer A/B/X, UART, A-D converter, and programmable I/O ports. It operates at up to 16 MHz with supply voltage 2.7–5.5 V and targets embedded control in industrial automation, motor control, and appliance systems.

For engineers reviewing the M30201F6TFP datasheet, M30201F6TFP pinout, M30201F6TFP application, or M30201F6TFP equivalent, key selection criteria include Flash memory size (48 KB), RAM capacity (1 KB), operating voltage range (2.7–5.5 V), 16 MHz max clock frequency, and support for 10-bit A-D conversion with 8 input channels.

Technical Context

The M30201F6TFP implements the M16C/60 Group CPU core with 16-bit ALU, 24-bit address space, and instruction set optimized for real-time control. It integrates three independent timer groups (Timer A: 5-channel, Timer B: 2-channel, Timer X: 3-channel) supporting PWM, one-shot, event counting, and pulse measurement modes.

Peripheral subsystems include two full-duplex UART channels, an 8-channel 10-bit successive-approximation A-D converter with sweep and repeat modes, and 48 programmable I/O pins with pull-up resistors and interrupt capability per port. Clock generation supports crystal (XIN/XOUT), external clock, or internal oscillator inputs.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the M30201F6TFP?

The M30201F6TFP supports a maximum CPU clock frequency of 16 MHz when using an external crystal or clock source applied to the XIN pin. This frequency is achievable across the full 2.7–5.5 V supply range and ambient temperature range of −20°C to +75°C, as specified in the standard electrical characteristics section of the M16C Family user's manual. The M30201F6TFP achieves this timing with zero wait states for on-chip Flash execution.

Does the M30201F6TFP support in-system programming of its Flash memory?

Yes, the M30201F6TFP supports CPU rewrite mode, enabling in-system Flash programming via its built-in serial interface or dedicated on-chip bootloader. This allows firmware updates without removing the device from the PCB. The process requires entering a specific command sequence and adhering to voltage and timing constraints defined in the Flash Memory chapter of the M16C user's manual. No external programmer is needed for basic reprogramming of the M30201F6TFP.

How many analog input channels does the M30201F6TFP A-D converter support?

The M30201F6TFP integrates a 10-bit successive-approximation A-D converter with 8 analog input channels (AD0–AD7), mapped to port pins P10–P17 in multiplexed configuration. These channels support single-shot, repeat, and sweep conversion modes, with programmable sample-and-hold timing. The A-D converter operates independently of CPU activity and can trigger interrupts upon completion - a key capability used in real-time sensor monitoring applications with the M30201F6TFP.

What power-saving modes are available on the M30201F6TFP?

The M30201F6TFP offers two low-power operating modes: Stop mode (CPU and peripheral clocks halted, RAM retained, current ≤10 µA) and Wait mode (CPU halted, selected peripherals active, current ~100 µA). Both modes are entered via software instruction and exited by interrupt or reset. These modes are documented in Chapter 1 of the M16C user's manual and are widely used in battery-powered or energy-conscious designs leveraging the M30201F6TFP.

Is the M30201F6TFP pin-compatible with other members of the M30201 group?

Yes, the M30201F6TFP shares the same 64-pin LQFP package and pin assignment with other M30201 group variants including M30201M4-XXXFP, M30201M6-XXXFP, and M30201F6SP/FP. Differences between these parts lie solely in memory configuration (ROM/RAM sizes) and internal fuse settings - not pin function or electrical behavior. This allows hardware design reuse across firmware variants, simplifying BOM management for the M30201F6TFP and related devices.
