Renesas R0E53036ACFK40

Overview

R0E53036ACFK40 from Renesas Electronics is a dedicated converter board enabling signal interface between the R0E521300MCU00 MCU unit (R8C Family R8C/3x Series) and 64-pin 0.5 mm pitch LQFP foot patterns used by R8C/36A, /36C, /36E, /36F, /36G, and /36H Groups. It supports debugging and on-board evaluation via NQPACK64SD-ND socket mounting and flexible cable connection to Renesas emulators.

For engineers reviewing the R0E53036ACFK40 datasheet, R0E53036ACFK40 pinout, R0E53036ACFK40 application, or R0E53036ACFK40 equivalent, this board serves as a mechanical and electrical bridge for MCU evaluation-requiring precise alignment with YQPACK64SD and NQPACK64SD-ND, guaranteed for 50 insertion/removal cycles, and compliant with Pb-free manufacturing standards.

Technical Context

The R0E53036ACFK40 is a passive interconnect adapter-not an IC or active component-with no embedded logic, power regulation, or signal conditioning. Its function is strictly mechanical and routing-based: it maps emulator signals from the R0E521300MCU00 to the 64-pin LQFP footprint defined by PLQP0064KB-A package outline.

It interfaces exclusively with Tokyo Eletech Corporation's socket system (NQPACK64SD-ND base + YQPACK64SD top + YQ-GUIDE alignment fixtures) and requires the R0E001000FLX10 flexible cable for emulator connectivity. No voltage translation, level shifting, or timing compensation is performed.

FAQ

What is the primary purpose of the R0E53036ACFK40?

The R0E53036ACFK40 is a passive converter board that bridges the R0E521300MCU00 MCU unit to 64-pin 0.5 mm pitch LQFP foot patterns used by R8C/36A–H Group MCUs. It enables debugging and on-board evaluation without custom PCB design-by mechanically adapting emulator signals to standard socket layouts. The R0E53036ACFK40 does not process or condition signals; its role is purely interconnect and alignment.

Which socket components are required to use the R0E53036ACFK40?

The R0E53036ACFK40 requires three Tokyo Eletech Corporation components: one NQPACK64SD-ND (base socket), one YQPACK64SD (top adapter), and four YQ-GUIDE alignment fixtures. These are included in the R0E53036ACFK40 package and must be used together-no alternate sockets or third-party substitutes are supported or validated for use with the R0E53036ACFK40.

Does the R0E53036ACFK40 include any active circuitry or power regulation?

No-the R0E53036ACFK40 contains no ICs, resistors, capacitors, or active components. It is a rigid printed circuit board with plated-through holes and surface-mount pads only. Signal integrity relies entirely on the precision of the YQPACK64SD/NQPACK64SD-ND socket pair and correct mechanical assembly. The R0E53036ACFK40 does not provide voltage translation, level shifting, or ESD protection.

What emulator cable is compatible with the R0E53036ACFK40?

The R0E53036ACFK40 is designed exclusively for use with the R0E001000FLX10 flexible cable, which connects its upper CN1 connector to Renesas E1/E20 emulators. This cable provides the necessary pin mapping and mechanical flexibility for reliable debug session establishment. Substituting other cables-even with identical pin count-will result in incorrect signal routing or physical incompatibility with the R0E53036ACFK40 CN1 header.

Is the R0E53036ACFK40 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?

Yes-the R0E53036ACFK40 is marked "Pb Free" on its silkscreen and complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. Its PCB substrate, solder mask, and surface finish meet lead-free reflow requirements. This compliance applies to the board itself; associated Tokyo Eletech socket components (NQPACK64SD-ND, YQPACK64SD, YQ-GUIDE) must be verified separately for RoHS status per their respective part numbers and manufacturing dates.
