Product details
Overview
M3823AGFFP#U0 from Renesas Electronics is an 8-bit CMOS microcomputer based on the 740 family core, featuring integrated LCD drive control (up to 32 segments, 4 commons), 8-channel 10-bit A/D converter, UART/clock-synchronized serial interface, three 8-bit and two 16-bit timers, watchdog timer, and ROM correction function. It operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V across multiple clock modes and targets low-power consumer display applications such as digital thermostats and portable audio interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the M3823AGFFP#U0 datasheet, M3823AGFFP#U0 pinout, M3823AGFFP#U0 application, or M3823AGFFP#U0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 80-pin QFP package, 60 KB QzROM/2560-byte RAM configuration, dual-clock system (main XIN/XOUT + sub-XCIN/XCOUT), and hardware key-on-wake-up interrupt support for battery-powered UI systems.
Technical Context
The M3823AGFFP#U0 implements the standard 740-family instruction set with 71 base instructions and a minimum instruction execution time of 0.4 µs at 10 MHz in high-speed mode. Its CPU includes accumulator, index registers X/Y, stack pointer, and 16-bit program counter with stack page selection.
It integrates a dedicated LCD driver supporting 1/2, 1/3, or 1/4 bias and 2–4 duty ratios, alongside dual clock domains: main oscillator (ceramic resonator or quartz crystal) with built-in feedback resistor, and sub-clock oscillator (quartz crystal or on-chip oscillator) enabling ultra-low-power standby operation down to 18 µW.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the M3823AGFFP#U0?
The M3823AGFFP#U0 supports a maximum oscillation frequency of 10 MHz on its main clock (XIN/XOUT). In high-speed mode, this yields a minimum instruction execution time of 0.4 µs. The sub-clock domain operates up to 32 kHz for low-power timing functions. Frequency scaling is managed via internal clock dividers supporting frequency/2, /4, /8, and low-speed modes.
Does the M3823AGFFP#U0 support external crystal oscillators on both main and sub-clock inputs?
Yes, the M3823AGFFP#U0 supports external quartz-crystal oscillators on both XIN/XOUT (main clock) and XCIN/XCOUT (sub-clock) pins. The main clock circuit includes a built-in feedback resistor, allowing direct connection of a crystal without external components. The sub-clock input also accepts quartz crystals but does not support external clock sources-only crystal or on-chip oscillator operation is permitted.
How many LCD segments can the M3823AGFFP#U0 drive, and what bias/duty configurations are supported?
The M3823AGFFP#U0 drives up to 32 segment outputs and 4 common outputs, enabling up to 128 distinct LCD segments (32 × 4). It supports 1/2 or 1/3 bias and 2-, 3-, or 4-line duty configurations. COM2 and COM3 are disabled in 1/2-duty mode; COM3 is inactive in 1/3-duty mode-configurations are selected via dedicated control registers.
What is the purpose of the ROM correction function in the M3823AGFFP#U0?
The M3823AGFFP#U0 includes a ROM correction function consisting of two independent 32-byte blocks. This allows field-level patching of QzROM content-such as bug fixes or calibration updates-without replacing the MCU. Corrections are applied transparently during code fetch, preserving full 60 KB of usable program space while enabling post-deployment firmware reliability improvements.
Can the M3823AGFFP#U0 operate from a 1.8 V supply, and under what conditions?
Yes, the M3823AGFFP#U0 operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V. At 1.8 V, it requires the frequency/4 or frequency/8 mode with maximum XIN frequency ≤ 5 MHz, or low-speed mode with stopped main clock. This enables ultra-low-power operation-for example, 18 µW typical current draw at 32 kHz sub-clock only and 2.5 V supply-making it suitable for coin-cell-powered devices.
