FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency and supply voltage range for the M30260F8BGP#U5A?

The M30260F8BGP#U5A operates at up to 24 MHz using its integrated PLL frequency synthesizer, with a required supply voltage range of 4.2 V to 5.5 V. This specification is confirmed in the Renesas M16C/26A Group datasheet (Rev. 0.51, Jul. 2006), Table 1.1, and applies specifically to the M16C/26B variant denoted by the 'B' in the part number. Operation outside this voltage range may result in undefined behavior or failure to meet timing specifications.

Does the M30260F8BGP#U5A include an on-chip voltage detection circuit?

Yes, the M30260F8BGP#U5A includes an on-chip voltage detection circuit, as explicitly stated in the "Electrical Characteristics" section of the Renesas datasheet for the M16C/26A Group. This feature is present in the M16C/26A and M16C/26B variants (but not M16C/26T), providing brown-out reset functionality without requiring an external supervisor IC - a key reliability feature for industrial applications.

How many analog input channels does the 10-bit A/D converter in the M30260F8BGP#U5A support?

The M30260F8BGP#U5A integrates a single 10-bit successive approximation register (SAR) A/D converter with 12 analog input channels (AN0–AN11), as documented in Table 1.1 ("M16C/26A Group Performance") and Figure 1.1 (Block Diagram) of the official Renesas datasheet. All 12 channels are accessible via dedicated pins such as P100/AN0 and P93/AN24, enabling simultaneous monitoring of multiple sensors in HVAC or motor control systems.

What package type and pin count does the M30260F8BGP#U5A use?

The M30260F8BGP#U5A uses a 48-pin plastic quad flat package (QFP) designated PLQP0048KB-A (also referenced as 48P6Q), as confirmed in Figure 1.6 (Pin Assignment), Table 1.1, and the Product Numbering System (Figure 1.3) of the Renesas datasheet. This surface-mount package measures 10 mm × 10 mm with 0.5 mm lead pitch and is RoHS-compliant (lead-free, per Table 1.7 notes).

Is the M30260F8BGP#U5A pin-compatible with other members of the M16C/26A Group?

Yes, the M30260F8BGP#U5A shares identical pinout and package (48-pin QFP) with all other 48-pin M16C/26A Group variants, including M30260F8AGP#U5A (M16C/26A) and M30260F8TGP#U5A (M16C/26T T-ver.), as verified in Figures 1.6 and 1.7 and Tables 1.1–1.6 of the Renesas datasheet. Pin functions are consistent across the group, though electrical ratings (e.g., max clock, temp range) and some on-chip features (e.g., voltage detector) differ by variant.
