Product details
Overview
UPD78F0513AGBA-GAF-G 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 CPU frequency with 10-bit A/D converter (8 channels), supports I²C and UART interfaces, and targets embedded control in industrial sensors and motor drive modules.
For engineers reviewing the UPD78F0513AGBA-GAF-G datasheet, UPD78F0513AGBA-GAF-G pinout, UPD78F0513AGBA-GAF-G application, or UPD78F0513AGBA-GAF-G equivalent, key selection criteria include Flash endurance (100,000 write/erase cycles), operating voltage range (2.7–5.5 V), and support for on-chip debug via single-wire interface - all critical for cost-sensitive, long-lifecycle industrial firmware updates.
Technical Context
The UPD78F0513AGBA-GAF-G implements the 78K0 CPU core with 16-bit ALU and 16-level hardware stack, executing instructions in 1–4 clock cycles. Its peripheral set includes a 10-bit A/D converter with sample-and-hold and built-in reference voltage, three 16-bit timer/counters (one with input capture/output compare), and dual serial interfaces (I²C master/slave + UART with LIN support).
Power management features include HALT and STOP modes with wake-up via external interrupt or internal timer, enabling sub-1 µA standby current. The device uses SuperFlash® technology licensed from SST for reliable Flash programming and supports self-programming via on-chip library for field firmware updates without external programmer.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the UPD78F0513AGBA-GAF-G?
The UPD78F0513AGBA-GAF-G supports a maximum CPU clock frequency of 20 MHz when powered at 4.5–5.5 V. At 2.7–4.4 V, the maximum frequency is derated to 10 MHz to ensure timing margin compliance. This dual-frequency specification allows flexible system design across varying supply conditions while maintaining deterministic interrupt latency and timer resolution.
Does the UPD78F0513AGBA-GAF-G support in-system programming (ISP)?
Yes, the UPD78F0513AGBA-GAF-G supports in-system programming via its on-chip self-programming library, accessible through UART or I²C interfaces. The library enables erasing and writing Flash memory without removing the device from the target board, and is certified for 100,000 write/erase cycles with data retention exceeding 20 years at 85°C - critical for field-upgradable industrial firmware.
What debug interface does the UPD78F0513AGBA-GAF-G provide?
The UPD78F0513AGBA-GAF-G implements a single-wire debug (SWD) interface compliant with Renesas' standard on-chip debugging protocol, using the P10 pin as the bidirectional debug data line. This interface supports full breakpoint control, register read/write, and memory inspection without requiring additional pins or external debug hardware beyond a QB-MINI2 emulator or compatible tool.
Is the UPD78F0513AGBA-GAF-G qualified for automotive applications?
No, the UPD78F0513AGBA-GAF-G is classified as a "Standard" quality grade device per Renesas documentation and is intended for industrial, office, and consumer equipment - not automotive or safety-critical systems. For AEC-Q100 qualified alternatives, consider the RL78/F12 or RH850/F1L families, which undergo extended temperature and reliability testing required for automotive ECUs.
What packaging and RoHS compliance status does the UPD78F0513AGBA-GAF-G have?
The UPD78F0513AGBA-GAF-G is supplied in a 64-pin LQFP package (10 mm × 10 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad and is fully RoHS-compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. Lead finish is matte tin, and the device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3), requiring bake conditioning before reflow if exposed to ambient for >168 hours.
