Product details
Overview
M34524EDFP from Renesas Electronics is a 4-bit single-chip CMOS microcomputer with One Time PROM (16,384 × 10-bit), 512 × 4-bit RAM, 10-bit A/D converter, LCD control circuit (20 segments × 4 commons), and four 8-bit timers plus one 16-bit timer - used in embedded control of household appliances and consumer electronics.
For engineers reviewing the M34524EDFP datasheet, M34524EDFP pinout, M34524EDFP application, or M34524EDFP equivalent, key selection criteria include its OTP memory size, integrated LCD driver capability, supply voltage range (2.5–5.5 V), interrupt sources (9), and 64-pin QFP package compatibility with legacy 4524 Group designs.
Technical Context
The M34524EDFP implements the 4500-series CPU core with a high-speed through-mode instruction execution time of 0.5 µs at 6 MHz. It supports dual-clock architecture: main clock via ceramic resonator/RC/internal oscillator and sub-clock via 32 kHz quartz crystal.
Its peripheral set includes an 8-bit serial I/O channel, programmable watchdog timer, voltage drop detection reset (typ. 3.5 V), and LCD drive control with selectable bias (1/2, 1/3, 1/4) and duty (2, 3, 4). All timers support reload registers, with Timer 4 offering two reload registers and Timer 5 providing fixed-frequency 16-bit timing.

FAQ
What is the memory configuration of the M34524EDFP?
The M34524EDFP contains 16,384 words × 10 bits of One Time PROM program memory and 512 words × 4 bits of RAM, including 20 words × 4 bits dedicated to LCD display RAM. This configuration supports moderate-complexity firmware with integrated UI data storage, and the OTP nature allows final firmware programming after assembly.
Does the M34524EDFP support LCD bias and duty configuration?
Yes, the M34524EDFP supports software-selectable LCD bias (1/2, 1/3, or 1/4) and duty (2, 3, or 4) via internal control registers. These settings are configured at runtime to match display glass requirements, enabling direct drive of diverse segmented LCD modules without external bias generation circuitry.
What clock sources does the M34524EDFP support?
The M34524EDFP supports multiple clock sources: main clock via ceramic resonator, RC network, or external signal on XIN/XOUT; and sub-clock via 32 kHz quartz crystal on XCIN/XCOUT. The system clock is selected via the MR register, allowing flexible trade-offs between performance (up to 6 MHz) and low-power operation.
How many analog input channels does the M34524EDFP provide?
The M34524EDFP provides eight 10-bit analog input channels (AIN0–AIN7), physically mapped to port pins P20–P23 and P30–P33. These channels use successive approximation conversion and support common sensor interfaces such as thermistors, potentiometers, and voltage monitors in appliance control systems.
Is the M34524EDFP pin-compatible with other 4524 Group microcontrollers?
Yes, the M34524EDFP uses the identical 64P6N-A package and shares full pinout compatibility with M34524M8-XXXFP and M34524MC-XXXFP. All share identical pin functions, electrical characteristics, and peripheral mappings - enabling direct substitution in existing 4524 Group designs when OTP programmability is required.
