Product details
Overview
M34286G2GP#U0 from Renesas Electronics is a 4-bit single-chip CMOS microcomputer optimized for infrared remote control transmitters. It integrates 2048 words × 9-bit mask ROM, 64 words × 4-bit RAM, dual 8-bit timers (Timer 1 with auto-control carrier output, Timer 2 with dual-reload carrier generation), and 16 I/O lines across ports D, E, G, and CARR - all operating from 1.8 V to 3.6 V supply.
For engineers reviewing the M34286G2GP#U0 datasheet, M34286G2GP#U0 pinout, M34286G2GP#U0 application, or M34286G2GP#U0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ceramic-resonator-based system clock (XIN/XOUT), key-on wakeup capability across 15 pins (D0–D7, E0–E2, G0–G3), RAM back-up mode (0.1 µA), and dedicated CMOS carrier wave output on CARR pin for IR modulation.
Technical Context
The M34286G2GP#U0 implements a 72-instruction 4-bit CPU core with 4-level subroutine nesting and ALU-based arithmetic logic. Its dual-timer architecture enables independent carrier wave generation (Timer 2) and precise output timing control (Timer 1), both configurable via V1/V2 control registers and synchronized to f(XIN)/2 system clock.
System clock generation relies on an external ceramic resonator between XIN and XOUT (internal feedback resistor included), supporting instruction execution at 2.0 µs minimum cycle time (f(XIN) = 4.0 MHz). Power management includes voltage drop detection (1.5 V/1.7 V thresholds), power-on reset, and RAM back-up mode - all essential for battery-powered remote control operation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 4-bit remote control microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HD6417206P | Same 4-bit architecture but 1024-word ROM; lacks dual-reload Timer 2; no CARR pin | Requires external carrier generator; limited protocol storage | Select only if legacy HD6417206P design reuse is mandatory and carrier timing flexibility is not required |
| RL78/I1A | 16-bit RL78 core; 16 KB flash; integrated IR transmitter peripheral; 32-pin LQFP | Higher cost and footprint; supports advanced protocols (RC-MM, Sony SIRC) and firmware updates | Choose when future-proofing, field-upgradable firmware, or multi-protocol support outweighs BOM cost and size constraints |
Compared with HD6417206P and RL78/I1A, the M34286G2GP#U0 delivers optimal balance of cost, size, and IR-specific functionality - retaining dedicated carrier control hardware and ultra-low-power wake-up while fitting in compact 20-pin LSSOP packaging ideal for mass-produced remotes.

FAQ
What is the maximum ceramic resonator frequency supported by M34286G2GP#U0?
The M34286G2GP#U0 supports ceramic resonators up to 4.0 MHz, as confirmed by the minimum instruction execution time specification of 2.0 µs at f(XIN) = 4.0 MHz. Higher frequencies are not characterized or guaranteed per the REJ03B0251-0100 datasheet. Operating beyond this limit may cause timing violations in the 4-bit CPU core or timer subsystems.
Does M34286G2GP#U0 support external crystal oscillators?
No, the M34286G2GP#U0 is designed exclusively for ceramic resonators connected between XIN and XOUT. The internal feedback resistor and oscillator circuit are optimized for ceramic units - external quartz crystals are not supported and will not start reliably.
How many key-on wakeup pins does M34286G2GP#U0 have, and what is their trigger condition?
The M34286G2GP#U0 has 15 key-on wakeup pins: D0–D7 (8 pins), E0–E2 (3 pins), and G0–G3 (4 pins). All trigger on rising-edge detection ("H" level sense) when the internal pull-down transistor is enabled via software configuration - allowing wake-up from RAM back-up mode upon button press.
Can M34286G2GP#U0 generate carrier frequencies other than 38 kHz?
Yes - M34286G2GP#U0 can generate carrier frequencies from approximately 20 kHz to 50 kHz by configuring Timer 1 and Timer 2 reload values and selecting appropriate system clock dividers (f(XIN)/2, f(XIN)/4, or f(XIN)). The exact frequency depends on f(XIN), selected divider, and reload register values per the timing equations in Section 12 of REJ03B0251-0100.
Is there a built-in EEPROM or flash memory in M34286G2GP#U0?
No, M34286G2GP#U0 contains only mask ROM (2048 words × 9 bits) for program storage and SRAM (64 words × 4 bits) for runtime data. It does not include EEPROM or flash memory. User-configurable settings must be stored in RAM with back-up mode or implemented externally.
