Product details
Overview
M3T-F160-80NRA from Renesas Electronics is a converter board enabling interface between the 160-core FLX160 flexible cable and 80-pin 0.8-mm-pitch QFP (80P6N-A) or LQFP (80P6U-A) foot patterns, supporting debug probe connection and on-board MCU evaluation with flash or OTP memory, rated for 50 insertion/removal cycles.
For engineers reviewing the M3T-F160-80NRA datasheet, M3T-F160-80NRA pinout, M3T-F160-80NRA application, or M3T-F160-80NRA equivalent, this board serves as a hardware bridge for Renesas emulation pod integration, MCU in-circuit debugging, and production-ready board-mounted evaluation of 80-pin QFP/LQFP microcontrollers.
Technical Context
The M3T-F160-80NRA implements a passive mechanical and electrical translation layer: it maps FLX160's 160-position flexible connector to two discrete 80-pin foot patterns-CN1 and CN2-each aligned to standard Renesas 80P6N-A or 80P6U-A land grids. No active circuitry, voltage translation, or signal conditioning is present.
Connector correspondence is fixed per Table 2: CN1 provides direct mapping for pins 1–40 and 71–80 of the target IC footprint, while CN2 covers pins 9–48 and 65–70, with 24 unconnected positions ("-") across both connectors. The board includes pre-mounted YQ-GUIDE alignment fixtures and supports Tokyo Eletech NQPACK080RA socket mounting.
Key Specifications

Manufacturer
Renesas Electronics Corporation is a Japanese semiconductor manufacturer formed in 2010 through the merger of NEC Electronics and Renesas Technology, specializing in microcontrollers, analog, power, and embedded solutions.
The M3T-F160-80NRA belongs to Renesas' legacy development tools portfolio, designed specifically to extend the usability of FLX160-based emulation hardware across older-generation 80-pin QFP/LQFP MCUs such as the M16C and H8 families.
FAQ
What is the primary function of the M3T-F160-80NRA?
The M3T-F160-80NRA is a passive converter board that bridges the 160-core FLX160 flexible cable-used with Renesas emulation pods-to standard 80-pin 0.8-mm-pitch QFP (80P6N-A) or LQFP (80P6U-A) foot patterns. It enables physical and electrical connectivity for in-circuit debugging and on-board evaluation of compatible MCUs without modifying the target PCB layout. The M3T-F160-80NRA contains no active components or firmware.
Which Renesas emulation pods are compatible with the M3T-F160-80NRA?
The M3T-F160-80NRA is explicitly designed for use with Renesas FLX160-compatible emulation pods including the M3xxxxT-RLFS, FLX160-PRB, and M3xxxxTx-EPB series. These pods connect via the upper CN1 connector on the M3T-F160-80NRA board. Compatibility is mechanical and electrical-no driver or configuration changes are required when using the M3T-F160-80NRA with these certified tools.
Does the M3T-F160-80NRA include a socket or require external components?
Yes-the M3T-F160-80NRA ships with pre-mounted components: one NQPACK080RA socket, one YQPACK080RA adapter, one YQSOCKET080RAF, and four YQ-GUIDE alignment fixtures. Users must separately procure HQPACK080RA168 (for 80P6N-A) or HQPACK080RA160 (for 80P6U-A) for on-board evaluation mode. The M3T-F160-80NRA itself does not contain integrated sockets beyond those listed.
Is the M3T-F160-80NRA RoHS compliant and suitable for production use?
The M3T-F160-80NRA complies with EU RoHS Directive requirements as confirmed by Renesas documentation and material declarations. However, Renesas explicitly states it is intended only for program development and evaluation-not for final system deployment. Use of the M3T-F160-80NRA in mass-produced equipment requires independent validation, as it falls under "Standard" quality grade and lacks production-grade reliability certification.
How are pin mappings handled between FLX160 and the 80-pin target package on the M3T-F160-80NRA?
Pin mapping is defined in Table 2 of the M3T-F160-80NRA User's Manual: CN1 and CN2 each route subsets of FLX160 signals to specific IC1 footprint pins, with 24 positions marked "-" indicating no connection. For example, CN1 pin 2a connects to IC1 pin 7, while CN2 pin 1b connects to IC1 pin 9. The M3T-F160-80NRA does not perform signal reordering or buffering-mapping is fixed and non-configurable.
