Product details
Overview
M38267E8GP from Renesas Electronics is an 8-bit CMOS microcontroller based on the 740 family core, integrating LCD drive control (4 common, 40 segment outputs), 8-channel 8-bit A-D converter, dual 8-bit D-A converters (for DTMF/CTCSS), UART, clock-synchronous serial I/O, PWM, and real-time port functions. It operates from 2.5–5.5 V and supports –20 to +85°C ambient, targeting embedded consumer appliance control.
For engineers reviewing the M38267E8GP datasheet, M38267E8GP pinout, M38267E8GP application, or M38267E8GP equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100-pin QFP package (100P6Q-A), 32 KB ROM / 1024-byte RAM configuration, built-in LCD bias/duty control (1/2, 1/3, 1/4), and dual A-D/D-A capability for audio-tone generation and sensor interfacing.
Technical Context
The M38267E8GP implements a 740-family CPU core with 71 basic instructions and 0.5 µs minimum instruction cycle at 8 MHz. It features two independent clock generating circuits-one for main system timing (via external ceramic resonator or quartz crystal between XIN/XOUT) and one for sub-clock operation (via XCIN/XCOUT).
Its peripheral set includes three 8-bit timers, two 16-bit timers, UART with programmable baud rate, clock-synchronous serial I/O1 and I/O2, 8-bit PWM output, and a dedicated LCD drive control circuit supporting 1/2, 1/3, or 1/4 duty and 1/2 or 1/3 bias configurations-enabling direct driving of multiplexed LCD displays without external drivers.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the M38267E8GP?
The M38267E8GP achieves a minimum instruction execution time of 0.5 µs at an 8 MHz oscillation frequency, meaning its maximum reliable system clock frequency is 8 MHz when using the main clock generating circuit with an external ceramic resonator or quartz crystal connected between XIN and XOUT pins. This timing is validated across the full 2.5–5.5 V supply range and –20 to +85°C temperature range.
Does the M38267E8GP support in-circuit programming?
No, the M38267E8GP is an EPROM/One Time PROM version and does not support in-circuit programming. It is factory-programmed with fixed firmware and cannot be reprogrammed after soldering. Programming must be performed prior to assembly using a dedicated EPROM programmer compatible with the 100D0 or QFP package variants. The M38267E8GP datasheet confirms this is a one-time programmable device.
How many LCD segments can the M38267E8GP drive directly?
The M38267E8GP drives up to 40 LCD segments directly via its integrated LCD drive control circuit, which supports 4 common outputs (COM0–COM3) and 40 segment outputs (SEG0–SEG39). Segment pins are multiplexed with port P0 through P3, and the controller supports 1/2, 1/3, or 1/4 duty and 1/2 or 1/3 bias configurations-enabling flexible display sizing without external drivers.
What are the A-D and D-A converter specifications of the M38267E8GP?
The M38267E8GP integrates an 8-bit, 8-channel single-ended A-D converter for analog sensor interfacing and two independent 8-bit D-A converters (DA1 and DA2) used specifically for DTMF and CTCSS tone generation. Both D-A outputs are accessible on dedicated pins (P56 and P57), and the A-D inputs map to P60–P67 (AN0–AN7), with VREF and AVSS pins provided for precision reference.
Is the M38267E8GP pin-compatible with other members of the 3826 Group?
Yes, the M38267E8GP in the 100P6Q-A package shares identical pinout and electrical characteristics with other 3826 Group members in the same package type-including M38267M8LXXXGP, M3826AEFGP, and M3826AEFFP-enabling hardware reuse across ROM size, voltage grade, and memory type variants. Pin compatibility is confirmed in Renesas' official 3826 Group documentation and part numbering guide.
