Product details
Overview
M30873FHBGP#U3 from Renesas Electronics is a 100-pin LQFP flash-based 16-bit MCU in the M32C/87B family, featuring the M32C/80 CPU core, 384 KB + 4 KB data flash, 24 KB RAM, dual 10-bit ADC (26 channels in single-chip mode), two 8-bit DACs, and CAN 2.0B support disabled - used in industrial motor control and office automation systems requiring deterministic real-time response.
For engineers reviewing the M30873FHBGP#U3 datasheet, M30873FHBGP#U3 pinout, M30873FHBGP#U3 application, or M30873FHBGP#U3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 32 MHz operation at 4.2–5.5 V, 144-pin-compatible 100-pin LQFP package (PLQP0100KB-A), integrated 3-phase inverter control timers, on-chip debug capability, and absence of CAN modules per M32C/87B specification.
Technical Context
The M30873FHBGP#U3 implements the M32C/80 CPU core with 108 basic instructions and 16×16→32-bit multiply-add capability. It supports three operating modes: single-chip, memory expansion, and microprocessor - enabling flexible system integration without external bus logic.
Its peripheral set includes five 16-bit Timer A units (with PWM, encoder input, and 3-phase motor control), six 16-bit Timer B units (for pulse width/period measurement), DMAC with 4 channels and 43 trigger sources, and UART0–UART4 plus UART5 for serial communication - all mapped to dedicated pins in the 100-pin LQFP footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and supply voltage range for the M30873FHBGP#U3?
The M30873FHBGP#U3 operates at up to 32 MHz with VCC1 between 4.2 V and 5.5 V, or at 24 MHz with VCC1 between 3.0 V and 5.5 V. VCC2 must be within 3.0 V to VCC1. These ranges are defined in the Renesas REJ03B0127-0151 datasheet Rev.1.51 and validated for the M32C/87B family. The M30873FHBGP#U3 meets these specifications in its 100-pin LQFP package.
Does the M30873FHBGP#U3 include CAN functionality?
No, the M30873FHBGP#U3 belongs to the M32C/87B variant, which explicitly excludes CAN modules per Table 1.7 and Note 5 in the datasheet. While pins P8_2/P8_3 are labeled CAN0OUT/CAN0IN, they are repurposed as general I/O or alternate functions. The M30873FHBGP#U3 provides UART, I²C, and IrDA interfaces instead - confirmed in the product numbering system and functional specification tables.
What package type and pin count does the M30873FHBGP#U3 use?
The M30873FHBGP#U3 uses a 100-pin LQFP package designated PLQP0100KB-A, measuring 14 mm × 14 mm with 0.5 mm lead pitch. This matches the "GP" suffix in the part number and is documented in Tables 1.6 and 1.7 of the M32C/87 Group datasheet. It is pin-compatible with other 100-pin M32C/87 variants but not with 144-pin versions.
How many ADC channels does the M30873FHBGP#U3 support, and what is their resolution?
The M30873FHBGP#U3 supports 26 channels of 10-bit analog-to-digital conversion in single-chip mode, as specified in Table 1.4. In memory expansion or microprocessor modes, it provides 10 channels. All channels include sample-and-hold functionality, enabling accurate simultaneous sampling for multi-axis motor control. This ADC configuration is fixed for the M32C/87B variant and verified in the M32C/87 Group datasheet.
What debug and programming capabilities does the M30873FHBGP#U3 offer?
The M30873FHBGP#U3 includes on-chip debug support and on-board flash reprogramming via UART or dedicated debug interface - enabling full source-level debugging and field firmware updates without external programmers. These capabilities are standard across the M32C/87 Group and confirmed in Section 1.1.2 and Table 1.2 of the Renesas datasheet. The M30873FHBGP#U3 leverages this for rapid development and maintenance cycles.
