Product details
Overview
M37549G3FP#U0 from Renesas Electronics is a single-chip 8-bit CMOS microcontroller based on the 740 family core, featuring 6 KB QzROM, 256 bytes RAM, integrated 10-bit 8-channel A/D converter, UART/clock-synchronous serial interface, and dual-speed on-chip oscillators (4 MHz high-speed, 250 kHz low-speed). It operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V and targets embedded control in home appliances and factory automation.
For engineers reviewing the M37549G3FP#U0 datasheet, M37549G3FP#U0 pinout, M37549G3FP#U0 application, or M37549G3FP#U0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 24-pin SSOP package, built-in power-on reset and low-voltage detection circuits, LED direct-drive capability on eight P0 pins, and support for external ceramic resonator or 32 kHz crystal operation.
Technical Context
The M37549G3FP#U0 implements the standard 740-family instruction set with 71 basic instructions and a minimum execution time of 0.25 µs at 8 MHz in double-speed mode. Its CPU includes an 8-bit accumulator, two 8-bit index registers (X/Y), an 8-bit stack pointer, and a 16-bit program counter, with processor status register flags supporting conditional branching and interrupt handling.
Peripheral integration includes three independent timers (two 8-bit, one 16-bit), 3-channel output compare, 1-channel input capture, watchdog timer, and programmable I/O ports (19-bit general-purpose + 1-bit dedicated output). The clock generating circuit supports multiple oscillation sources: external ceramic resonator, quartz crystal (including 32 kHz), or internal high/low-speed oscillators - all selectable via Function Set ROM configuration.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the M37549G3FP#U0?
The M37549G3FP#U0 supports a maximum external oscillation frequency of 8 MHz when using a ceramic resonator in double-speed mode. Its internal high-speed oscillator operates at a typical 4 MHz, and the low-speed oscillator at 250 kHz. All frequencies are subject to voltage-dependent limits - for example, 8 MHz operation requires VCC ≥4.5 V in double-speed mode with ceramic resonator.
Does the M37549G3FP#U0 include a hardware watchdog timer?
Yes, the M37549G3FP#U0 integrates a 16-bit watchdog timer that can be enabled or disabled via the Function Set ROM configuration. When enabled, it provides fail-safe recovery from software hang conditions by generating a system reset if not periodically cleared by firmware.
Can the M37549G3FP#U0 operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the M37549G3FP#U0 supports 3.3 V operation across multiple clock configurations: it runs at up to 4 MHz with ceramic resonator in high-speed mode (VCC ≥2.4 V), and at 250 kHz using the low-speed on-chip oscillator (VCC ≥1.8 V). This makes it compatible with standard 3.3 V system rails without level-shifting.
How many analog input channels does the M37549G3FP#U0 support?
The M37549G3FP#U0 features an integrated 10-bit A/D converter with eight analog input channels (AN0–AN7), mapped to P10–P17 pins. Each channel supports simultaneous use with key-on wakeup and comparator functions, enabling mixed-signal applications like sensor monitoring with push-button interface.
Is the M37549G3FP#U0 pin-compatible with other members of the 7549 Group?
Yes, the M37549G3FP#U0 shares identical pinout and package (PRSP0024GA-A, 24-pin SSOP) with M37549G2FP#U0 and M37549G1FP#U0. Firmware and hardware designs are interchangeable across these variants, differing only in ROM/RAM size and minor peripheral enablement - allowing scalable development within the same PCB layout.
