Product details
Overview
UPD78F0587GA-GAM-AX from Renesas Electronics is an 8-bit single-chip microcontroller in the 78K0/KC2-L 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 internal high-speed oscillator and supports 5 V operation with 64-pin LQFP packaging. It is used in industrial control panels requiring deterministic real-time response and integrated analog peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the UPD78F0587GA-GAM-AX datasheet, UPD78F0587GA-GAM-AX pinout, UPD78F0587GA-GAM-AX application, or UPD78F0587GA-GAM-AX equivalent, key selection criteria include Flash endurance (100,000 write/erase cycles), built-in voltage regulator (REGC pin support), and compatibility with RA78K0 assembler toolchain for legacy code migration.
Technical Context
The UPD78F0587GA-GAM-AX implements the 78K0 CPU core with 16-bit address space and supports both internal high-speed oscillator (up to 20 MHz) and external crystal (1–20 MHz). Its clock generator includes PLL circuitry enabling stable system clock derivation without external frequency multipliers.
It integrates 12-bit A/D converter with 16 input channels, serial interface (UART, CSI, I2C), and watchdog timer with independent clock source. Memory protection unit (MPU) enforces code/data separation, and on-chip debug support enables real-time trace via QB-MINI2 emulator.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F100LGSP#V0 | RL78/G13 core, 32 KB Flash, 4 KB RAM, lower power (120 μA/MHz), no REGC pin | Lacks integrated voltage regulator; requires external LDO for variable input rails | Select when ultra-low standby current (< 0.5 μA) and USB interface are required |
| UPD78F0588GA-GAM-AX | Same KC2-L family, 64 KB Flash, but adds CAN 2.0B controller and 3 additional I/O pins | Includes CAN physical layer driver support; not pin-compatible due to added CANRX/CANTX pins | Select when CAN bus connectivity is mandatory and PCB layout allows 64-pin footprint revision |
Compared with UPD78F0587GA-GAM-AX, R5F100LGSP#V0 offers superior energy efficiency but removes regulator flexibility, while UPD78F0588GA-GAM-AX extends communication capability at the cost of pinout compatibility-neither is drop-in replaceable, but both serve adjacent design requirements in industrial embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the UPD78F0587GA-GAM-AX?
The UPD78F0587GA-GAM-AX supports a maximum system clock frequency of 20 MHz. This can be achieved using either the internal high-speed oscillator (with trimming calibration) or an external crystal connected to X1/XT1 pins. The CPU executes instructions at one cycle per clock for most operations, enabling deterministic real-time response in time-critical control loops.
Does the UPD78F0587GA-GAM-AX include on-chip debug capability?
Yes, the UPD78F0587GA-GAM-AX supports full on-chip debugging via the single-wire debug interface compatible with Renesas QB-MINI2 emulator. It enables real-time trace, hardware breakpoints, register inspection, and memory read/write during active execution-no debug monitor firmware is required, and all features operate without consuming user RAM or Flash resources.
Can the UPD78F0587GA-GAM-AX operate from an unregulated 5 V supply?
Yes, the UPD78F0587GA-GAM-AX includes an internal voltage regulator controlled by the REGC pin. When enabled, it maintains stable core voltage across input variations of ±10% on VDD, allowing direct connection to standard 5 V switch-mode supplies without external LDO filtering-this simplifies power design and reduces bill-of-materials cost in cost-sensitive industrial applications.
What development tools are officially supported for the UPD78F0587GA-GAM-AX?
Renesas officially supports the UPD78F0587GA-GAM-AX with RA78K0 Ver. 4.01 assembler, CC78K0 Ver. 4.00 C compiler, ID78K0-QB Ver. 3.00 integrated debugger, and PM+ Ver. 6.30 IDE. These tools are validated against the 78K0/KC2-L hardware specification and include device-specific startup code, peripheral register definitions, and Flash programming algorithms for UPD78F0587GA-GAM-AX.
Is the UPD78F0587GA-GAM-AX qualified for automotive applications?
No, the UPD78F0587GA-GAM-AX is rated as "Standard" quality grade per Renesas documentation and is intended for industrial, office, and consumer equipment-not automotive or safety-critical systems. It lacks AEC-Q100 qualification, extended temperature range (-40°C to +105°C), or failure-in-time (FIT) data required for automotive use; Renesas recommends RL78/F1x series for qualified automotive designs.
