Product details
Overview
M308A5SGP#UN from Renesas Electronics is a ROMless 16-bit microcontroller based on the M32C/80 CPU core, housed in a 144-pin LQFP package (PLQP0144KA-A). It operates at up to 32 MHz (VCC1 = 4.2–5.5 V), delivers 108 basic instructions, integrates 18-channel 10-bit A/D conversion, dual 8-bit D/A converters, and supports microprocessor mode with 16-Mbyte external address space - deployed in industrial motor control and office automation systems.
For engineers reviewing the M308A5SGP#UN datasheet, M308A5SGP#UN pinout, M308A5SGP#UN application, or M308A5SGP#UN equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, validated 144-pin terminal mapping, confirmed peripheral integration (UART×5, Timer A×5, Timer B×6, DMAC×4), and real-world use context for embedded control design.
Technical Context
The M308A5SGP#UN implements the M32C/80 core with hardware multiplier (16×16→32 bits) and multiply-add capability (16×16+48→48 bits), enabling deterministic execution of complex control algorithms. Its external bus interface supports 8-/16-bit data width, 1–7 wait states, and four chip selects - configured via BYTE and CNVSS pins for microprocessor mode startup.
On-chip peripherals include five UARTs with I²C/SIM/GCI modes, a CRC-CCITT engine, X/Y converter (16×16), and dedicated 3-phase motor control logic using Timer A1/A2/A4 and Timer B2. Power management includes wait/stop modes achieving 45 μA and 0.8 μA current draw respectively at 3.3 V.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for M308A5SGP#UN?
The M308A5SGP#UN requires two supply domains: VCC1 (core/logic) operates from 4.2 V to 5.5 V at 32 MHz, or 3.0 V to 5.5 V at 24 MHz; VCC2 (I/O bus) must be between 3.0 V and VCC1. AVCC must connect to VCC1 and AVSS to VSS to ensure A/D and D/A accuracy. Violating the VCC1 ≥ VCC2 condition risks undefined behavior.
Does M308A5SGP#UN support in-circuit debugging?
Yes, the M308A5SGP#UN supports on-chip debugging via the on-chip debug interface (OCD) using the standard Renesas E8/E8a emulator. Debug access requires the RESET pin and dedicated OCD pins (not multiplexed with general I/O), enabling full breakpoint, watchpoint, and register inspection capabilities without halting real-time peripherals.
How many UART channels does M308A5SGP#UN provide, and what protocols do they support?
The M308A5SGP#UN integrates five independent UART channels (UART0–UART4), each supporting both asynchronous and clock-synchronous serial communication. They implement I²C bus mode, SIM mode, GCI mode, and special mode 2 - enabling direct interfacing with audio codecs, sensor hubs, and legacy NEC IEBus peripherals (with optional configuration).
What is the function of the CNVSS pin on M308A5SGP#UN?
The CNVSS pin on M308A5SGP#UN is a mode configuration input that determines startup behavior: applying "H" (high) at reset forces microprocessor mode, enabling external memory expansion via the 16-Mbyte bus interface. Leaving CNVSS unconnected or pulled low results in single-chip mode - disabling external bus functionality entirely.
Can M308A5SGP#UN generate complementary PWM outputs with programmable dead time?
Yes, the M308A5SGP#UN contains dedicated on-chip dead-time timer logic coordinated with Timer A1, A2, A4, and Timer B2 to produce six complementary PWM outputs with user-configurable dead-time insertion - essential for driving 3-phase inverter bridges without external dead-time generators or risk of shoot-through.
