Overview
M30879FLAFP#U3 from Renesas Electronics is a 100-pin LQFP flash-based 16-bit MCU in the M32C/87A family, embedding the M32C/80 CPU core with 768 KB ROM + 4 KB data flash, 31 KB RAM, dual CAN 2.0B channels (M32C/87A variant), and 26-channel 10-bit ADC - deployed in industrial motor control and office automation systems requiring deterministic real-time response.
For engineers reviewing the M30879FLAFP#U3 datasheet, M30879FLAFP#U3 pinout, M30879FLAFP#U3 application, or M30879FLAFP#U3 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions for the PRQP0100JB-A package, confirmed CAN 2.0B dual-channel operation, and direct alternative part comparisons - all aligned to Renesas' REJ03B0127-0151 Rev.1.51 specification.
Technical Context
The M30879FLAFP#U3 implements the M32C/80 CPU core with 16×16→32-bit multiplier and 16×16+48→48-bit multiply-add instructions, executing at 32 MHz (min. 31.3 ns/instruction) under 4.2–5.5 V supply. It supports single-chip, memory expansion, and microprocessor operating modes with 16-Mbyte external address space and configurable 8-/16-bit bus width.
Its peripheral set includes five 16-bit Timer A units (PWM, encoder input, one-shot), six 16-bit Timer B units (pulse width/period measurement), dual CAN 2.0B controllers (16-slot × 1 channel per controller), seven UARTs (including IrDA and IEBus support), and two 8-bit DACs - all synchronized via four independent clock sources (main, sub, on-chip oscillator, PLL).

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and supply voltage range for the M30879FLAFP#U3?
The M30879FLAFP#U3 operates at up to 32 MHz with VCC1 = 4.2–5.5 V, or 24 MHz with VCC1 = 3.0–5.5 V. VCC2 must be between 3.0 V and VCC1. These ranges are defined in Table 1.2 of Renesas document REJ03B0127-0151 Rev.1.51 and ensure stable execution of the M32C/80 core and peripheral logic in the M30879FLAFP#U3.
Does the M30879FLAFP#U3 include CAN functionality, and how many channels does it support?
Yes, the M30879FLAFP#U3 is an M32C/87A variant and supports one CAN 2.0B channel with 16 message slots. This is explicitly stated in Tables 1.1 and 1.2, and confirmed in Figure 1.2 and Note 5 of the block diagram - distinguishing it from the M32C/87 (dual CAN) and M32C/87B (no CAN) variants within the same family.
What package type and pin count does the M30879FLAFP#U3 use?
The M30879FLAFP#U3 uses a 100-pin plastic QFP package designated PRQP0100JB-A (100P6S-A), as documented in Table 1.6 and Figure 1.1 of the Renesas datasheet REJ03B0127-0151. This package has 0.65 mm lead pitch and is distinct from the 144-pin LQFP used by higher-memory variants.
How many ADC channels does the M30879FLAFP#U3 provide, and what is their resolution?
The M30879FLAFP#U3 provides 26 channels of 10-bit ADC in single-chip mode, as specified in Table 1.4. This count is reduced to 10 channels in memory expansion or microprocessor modes. Each channel includes sample-and-hold circuitry, enabling accurate simultaneous sampling for motor current sensing in the M30879FLAFP#U3.
