Product details
Overview
UPD78F0513AGA-GAM-AX from Renesas Electronics is an 8-bit single-chip microcontroller in the 78K0/KC2 family, featuring 64 KB on-chip Flash memory, 4 KB RAM, and a 16-bit timer/counter with PWM output capability. It operates at up to 20 MHz using an external crystal (1–20 MHz) or internal high-speed oscillator (8 MHz), supports 5V operation, and integrates UART, I²C, and 10-bit ADC with 16 channels. It is used in industrial control panels requiring deterministic real-time response and firmware-upgradable logic.
For engineers reviewing the UPD78F0513AGA-GAM-AX datasheet, UPD78F0513AGA-GAM-AX pinout, UPD78F0513AGA-GAM-AX application, or UPD78F0513AGA-GAM-AX equivalent, key selection criteria include Flash endurance (100,000 write/erase cycles), ADC sampling time (1.2 μs per channel), interrupt latency (3–5 cycles), and support for in-system programming via on-chip self-programming library.
Technical Context
The UPD78F0513AGA-GAM-AX implements the 78K0 CPU core with 16-bit ALU, 16-level hardware stack, and instruction set compatible with earlier 78K0 devices. It uses a Harvard architecture with separate program and data buses, enabling simultaneous instruction fetch and data access.
Its peripheral set includes three 16-bit timers (T0–T2) with capture/compare/PWM modes, one serial interface (UART or clock-synchronous CSI), one I²C-compatible serial interface (IIC), and a 10-bit successive-approximation ADC with programmable conversion start triggers (software, timer, or external event).
