Overview
UPD78F0124M6GB-8ET-A from NEC Electronics is an 8-bit single-chip microcontroller in the 78K0/KD1 family, featuring 64 KB flash memory, 4 KB RAM, and integrated peripherals including two 16-bit timers, four 8-bit timers, UART, I²C, and 10-bit ADC. It operates at up to 20 MHz with supply voltage range 2.7–5.5 V and targets embedded control in industrial sensors and motor drive interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the UPD78F0124M6GB-8ET-A datasheet, UPD78F0124M6GB-8ET-A pinout, UPD78F0124M6GB-8ET-A application, or UPD78F0124M6GB-8ET-A equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (LQFP-100), confirmed pin functions (P0–P14, X1/X2, RESET, AVREF), real-time clock generator architecture, and validated alternatives for legacy 78K0-based designs requiring flash programmability and extended temperature support.
Technical Context
The UPD78F0124M6GB-8ET-A implements the 78K0 CPU core with 16-bit addressing, supporting up to 1 MB linear address space via bank switching. Its clock system includes selectable oscillators: high-accuracy crystal (X1/X2), low-power ring oscillator, and subsystem clock - all configurable via CKC register with hardware-assisted switchover in ≤100 µs.
Peripheral integration follows the 78K0/KD1 architecture: dual 16-bit timer/event counters (T00/T01) with PPG, pulse width measurement, and square-wave output modes; four 8-bit timers (T50–T53) supporting interval timing and event counting; and a 10-bit, 16-channel ADC with built-in reference and scan mode - all accessible through dedicated SFRs and interrupt vectors.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the UPD78F0124M6GB-8ET-A?
The UPD78F0124M6GB-8ET-A supports a maximum system clock frequency of 20 MHz. This is achieved using either the on-chip PLL with external crystal (X1/X2) or direct crystal drive. The CPU executes instructions at one clock per cycle for most operations, enabling deterministic real-time response in time-critical applications such as motor control and sensor sampling.
Does the UPD78F0124M6GB-8ET-A include an integrated ADC?
Yes, the UPD78F0124M6GB-8ET-A integrates a 10-bit successive approximation ADC with 16 input channels. It supports scan mode for automatic sequential conversion and includes an internal 2.5 V reference regulator. The ADC operates independently of CPU activity, allowing background data acquisition while the core handles communication or control tasks.
What package type is used for the UPD78F0124M6GB-8ET-A?
The UPD78F0124M6GB-8ET-A uses a 100-pin LQFP package (14 mm × 14 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. This package supports industrial temperature operation (−40°C to +85°C), features RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, and provides full access to all I/O ports, timers, and communication peripherals specified in the 78K0/KD1 architecture.
Is the UPD78F0124M6GB-8ET-A pin-compatible with other 78K0/KD1 family members?
No, the UPD78F0124M6GB-8ET-A is not universally pin-compatible across the entire 78K0/KD1 family. While it shares the LQFP-100 footprint with variants like µPD78F0532, pin functions differ significantly - especially for analog inputs (AVREF), clock sources (X1/X2 vs. XT1/XT2), and peripheral mappings. Always verify pin assignments against the specific variant's datasheet before board reuse.
What development tools support the UPD78F0124M6GB-8ET-A?
The UPD78F0124M6GB-8ET-A is supported by NEC's legacy RA78K0 assembler, CC78K0 C compiler, and IE-78K0-NS in-circuit emulator. Renesas maintains backward compatibility via CS+ IDE with 78K0 device support packages. Flash programming requires PG-FP3 or PG-FP4 programmers configured for 78K0/KD1 flash memory layout and security settings.
