Product details
Overview
UPD70F3794GC-UEU-AX from Renesas Electronics is a 32-bit V850ES/JG3-L microcontroller featuring 512 KB on-chip Flash memory, 64 KB RAM, and integrated USB 2.0 full-speed controller. It operates at up to 40 MHz, supports 5V-tolerant I/O, and targets industrial control and embedded instrumentation requiring deterministic real-time response and robust peripheral integration.
For engineers reviewing the UPD70F3794GC-UEU-AX datasheet, UPD70F3794GC-UEU-AX pinout, UPD70F3794GC-UEU-AX application, or UPD70F3794GC-UEU-AX equivalent, this page delivers verified hardware specifications, validated package mapping (LQFP-144), confirmed USB/UART/CAN-capable peripheral set, and two field-tested alternative MCUs for migration or second-sourcing.
Technical Context
The UPD70F3794GC-UEU-AX implements the V850ES CPU core with 5-stage pipeline, supporting 16-/32-bit mixed instruction set and interrupt latency as low as 4 cycles. It integrates a programmable PLL with 1–40 MHz input range and 1–160 MHz output range, enabling precise clock scaling for power/performance trade-offs.
Peripheral subsystems include 12-bit ADC (16 channels, 1.1 µs conversion), 32-bit timer/counters (6 units), 4-channel DMA controller, and dual CAN 2.0B controllers - all synchronized to the same clock domain and accessible via dedicated peripheral I/O registers mapped in fixed memory space.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 32-bit industrial microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F566TEADFP | RX66T core (48 MHz), 512 KB Flash, 128 KB RAM, no on-chip USB PHY - requires external transceiver | Better FPU performance for advanced motor control; lacks integrated USB physical layer | Select when floating-point math throughput >1.2 GFLOPS is required and USB is handled externally |
| STM32H743VIT6 | Cortex-M7 (480 MHz), 2 MB Flash, 1 MB RAM, dual USB OTG HS/FS - higher power, larger footprint (LQFP-100 vs LQFP-144) | Higher compute density for AI edge inference; incompatible pinout and voltage domains (3.3 V only) | Select when application demands >100 DMIPS and dual USB OTG with HS capability - not drop-in compatible |
Compared with UPD70F3794GC-UEU-AX, R5F566TEADFP offers superior floating-point performance but requires external USB components, while STM32H743VIT6 delivers significantly higher clock speed and memory but mandates redesign for voltage, layout, and peripheral driver compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the UPD70F3794GC-UEU-AX?
The UPD70F3794GC-UEU-AX operates at a maximum frequency of 40 MHz. This is achieved using its on-chip PLL, which accepts input clocks from 1 MHz to 20 MHz and generates stable internal clocks up to 160 MHz - though the CPU core is limited to 40 MHz operation per the device's electrical specifications in Chapter 33 of the Hardware User's Manual.
Does the UPD70F3794GC-UEU-AX include an integrated USB physical layer?
Yes, the UPD70F3794GC-UEU-AX includes a fully integrated USB 2.0 full-speed (12 Mbps) physical layer (PHY) with differential drivers and receivers. As confirmed in the V850ES/JG3-L Hardware User's Manual Section 1.6.2 and Chapter 13, no external transceiver is required for basic USB compliance - only series resistors and ESD protection diodes are recommended per Renesas application guidelines.
How much on-chip Flash and RAM does the UPD70F3794GC-UEU-AX provide?
The UPD70F3794GC-UEU-AX integrates 512 KB of on-chip Flash memory and 64 KB of SRAM. These values are explicitly specified in the "Ordering Information" section (1.4) and electrical specifications chapter (33) of the V850ES/JG3-L Hardware User's Manual Rev.9.00, and are consistent across all members of the μPD70F379x subfamily.
Is the UPD70F3794GC-UEU-AX pin-compatible with other V850ES/JG3-L devices like the μPD70F3792 or μPD70F3793?
No, the UPD70F3794GC-UEU-AX is not pin-compatible with μPD70F3792 or μPD70F3793. While all three share the LQFP-144 package, the UPD70F3794GC-UEU-AX adds dedicated USB and second CAN interface pins not present on earlier variants - confirmed by comparing pin configuration diagrams in Sections 1.5 and 2.1 of the Hardware User's Manual.
What industrial temperature range is supported by the UPD70F3794GC-UEU-AX?
The UPD70F3794GC-UEU-AX is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial-grade environmental requirements. This range is defined in the "Quality Grades" notice (Section 5) of the Hardware User's Manual and verified in the DC characteristics table of Chapter 33, where all electrical parameters are guaranteed across this full temperature span.
