Product details
Overview
M38049FFHHP#W4 from Renesas Technology Corp. is a single-chip 8-bit CMOS microcomputer based on the 740 family core, featuring 60 KB flash memory, 2048 bytes RAM, 10-bit A-D converter (16 channels), 8-bit D-A converter (2 channels), I²C-BUS interface, and LED direct-drive capability for embedded control in household appliances and office automation equipment.
For engineers reviewing the M38049FFHHP#W4 datasheet, M38049FFHHP#W4 pinout, M38049FFHHP#W4 application, or M38049FFHHP#W4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 64-pin LQFP (10 × 10 mm) package, 16.8 MHz max clock frequency, 2.7–5.5 V operating voltage (4.0–5.5 V for flash programming), integrated 16-bit watchdog timer, and dual serial I/O with UART and clock-synchronized modes.
Technical Context
The M38049FFHHP#W4 implements the standard 740-family instruction set with 71 basic machine-language instructions and supports interrupt handling via 23 sources across 16 vectors (9 external, 13 internal, 1 software). Its CPU includes an 8-bit accumulator, dual 8-bit index registers (X/Y), and a 16-bit program counter with stack-page-aware addressing.
It integrates three independent 8-bit timers (with 8-bit prescalers), one 16-bit timer, a dedicated PWM channel, and dual serial interfaces (SI/O1 and SI/O2) configurable as UART or clock-synchronized mode-plus SI/O3 with SCL/SDA pins enabled for I²C-BUS communication per the 3804 group specification.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the M38049FFHHP#W4?
The M38049FFHHP#W4 supports a maximum oscillation frequency of 16.8 MHz using an external quartz crystal or ceramic resonator connected between XIN and XOUT. At this frequency, the minimum instruction execution time is 0.24 µs, enabling responsive real-time control in appliance and automation applications. The M38049FFHHP#W4 also supports lower-frequency modes down to 32 kHz for ultra-low-power operation.
Does the M38049FFHHP#W4 support in-system programming?
Yes, the M38049FFHHP#W4 supports in-system programming via its built-in flash memory interface. Programming is performed byte-wise using software commands, with VPP = 11.7–12.6 V applied to the CNVSS pin. It allows up to 100 program/erase cycles and supports both batch erasing (via parallel/serial I/O) and block erasing (via CPU reprogramming mode), making the M38049FFHHP#W4 suitable for prototyping and field firmware updates.
What are the key differences between the M38049FFHHP#W4 and the M38039FFHHP#W4?
The M38049FFHHP#W4 belongs to the 3804 group and includes an I²C-BUS interface (P32/SDA, P33/SCL), whereas the M38039FFHHP#W4 is a 3803 group part without hardware I²C. Both share identical flash size (60 KB), RAM (2048 bytes), A-D/D-A converters, and package (64-pin LQFP). The M38049FFHHP#W4 adds one additional external interrupt source (23 vs. 21) and supports SMBus-level input thresholds on I²C pins-making the M38049FFHHP#W4 the preferred choice for systems requiring standardized two-wire communication.
Can the M38049FFHHP#W4 operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the M38049FFHHP#W4 operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V in high-, middle-, and low-speed modes, including at 3.3 V nominal supply. However, flash programming requires VCC = 4.0–5.5 V and VPP = 11.7–12.6 V, so a separate 5 V rail or charge pump is necessary during firmware update. For continuous 3.3 V operation, the M38049FFHHP#W4 delivers full peripheral functionality-including A-D conversion, I²C, and LED drive-at reduced power consumption.
How many I/O pins does the M38049FFHHP#W4 provide, and which support analog functions?
The M38049FFHHP#W4 provides 56 programmable I/O pins across ports P0–P6. Of these, 16 pins (P00–P07/AN8–AN15, P60–P67/AN0–AN7) serve as analog inputs for the 10-bit A-D converter. Additionally, P30 and P31 function as 8-bit D-A outputs, while P20–P27 are optimized for high-current LED drive. All I/O pins support software-configurable pull-up resistors, eliminating the need for external components in most interface configurations.
