Renesas R0E53038ACFK30

Overview

R0E53038ACFK30 from Renesas Electronics is a dedicated converter board enabling signal interface between the R0E521300MCU00 MCU unit (R8C Family R8C/3x Series) and 80-pin 0.5 mm pitch LQFP foot patterns used by R8C/38A, /38C, /38E, /38F, /38G, and /38H Groups. It supports debugging and on-board evaluation via NQPACK80SD-ND socket mounting and flexible cable connection to Renesas emulators.

For engineers reviewing the R0E53038ACFK30 datasheet, R0E53038ACFK30 pinout, R0E53038ACFK30 application, or R0E53038ACFK30 equivalent, this board serves as a mechanical and electrical bridge for MCU development workflows requiring LQFP-80 footprint compatibility, emulator connectivity, and socket-based prototyping with Tokyo Eletech YQ/NQPACK components.

Technical Context

The R0E53038ACFK30 implements a passive, unpowered signal routing architecture between the R0E521300MCU00 module and standard 80-pin LQFP layouts. Its design maps emulator signals (via CN1 connector) to corresponding MCU pins while preserving pin order integrity across key functional groups including power, reset, clock, and debug interfaces.

It relies on external Tokyo Eletech components - specifically the NQPACK80SD-ND socket and YQPACK80SD adapter - to achieve mechanical retention and electrical contact. The board itself contains no active circuitry, ICs, or configuration logic; all functionality is defined by fixed trace routing and connector placement per Figure 3 and Table 2 of REJ10J1898-0200 Rev.2.00.

FAQ

What is the primary function of the R0E53038ACFK30?

The R0E53038ACFK30 is a passive converter board that routes signals from the R0E521300MCU00 module to an 80-pin 0.5 mm pitch LQFP footprint. It enables debugging and on-board evaluation of R8C/38-series MCUs using standard sockets and Renesas emulators. The R0E53038ACFK30 does not contain active components and relies entirely on external Tokyo Eletech hardware for mechanical and electrical interfacing.

Which MCU families does the R0E53038ACFK30 support?

The R0E53038ACFK30 is explicitly designed for the R8C/38A, /38C, /38E, /38F, /38G, and /38H Groups - all members of the R8C/3x Series. It interfaces with the R0E521300MCU00 MCU unit and requires matching socket hardware (NQPACK80SD-ND and YQPACK80SD) to establish reliable electrical contact with these specific LQFP-80 variants.

Does the R0E53038ACFK30 include any integrated circuitry or power regulation?

No, the R0E53038ACFK30 contains no ICs, voltage regulators, level shifters, or active circuitry. It is a purely passive interposer board with fixed copper traces mapping emulator signals to target MCU pins. All power, clock, and I/O signals pass through unchanged - the R0E53038ACFK30 provides only mechanical adaptation and pin correspondence, not signal conditioning or conversion.

What accessories are required to use the R0E53038ACFK30?

The R0E53038ACFK30 requires three external components: the NQPACK80SD-ND socket (mounted on the user system), the YQPACK80SD adapter (attached atop the socket), and four YQ-GUIDE alignment fixtures. These Tokyo Eletech parts are included in the R0E53038ACFK30 package and are essential for secure mechanical assembly and reliable signal contact during debugging or evaluation.

Is the R0E53038ACFK30 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?

Yes, the R0E53038ACFK30 is marked "Pb Free" in its mechanical drawing (Figure 4) and complies with EU RoHS Directive requirements. It is manufactured in Japan and conforms to environmental standards applicable to Renesas development tools, including full traceability and WEEE-compliant disposal pathways for European Union customers.
