Product details
Overview
UPD78F1142AGB-GAH-X3-AX from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit single-chip microcontroller in the 78K0R/KE3 family, featuring 128 KB on-chip Flash memory, 8 KB RAM, and integrated peripherals including 10-bit ADC (16 channels), UART, I²C, and timer modules. 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-driven appliances.
For engineers reviewing the UPD78F1142AGB-GAH-X3-AX datasheet, UPD78F1142AGB-GAH-X3-AX pinout, UPD78F1142AGB-GAH-X3-AX application, or UPD78F1142AGB-GAH-X3-AX equivalent, key selection considerations include its 64-pin LQFP package, 10-bit ADC resolution with sample-and-hold, dual UART support for serial communication, and built-in low-voltage detection circuitry for robust operation in variable-power environments.
Technical Context
The UPD78F1142AGB-GAH-X3-AX implements the 78K0R CPU core with 16-bit architecture, supporting both standard and expanded-specification instruction sets. It integrates a programmable watchdog timer, on-chip voltage regulator (REGC pin), and power-on reset circuit with adjustable delay.
Its peripheral set includes three 16-bit timer arrays (TAU) with capture/compare and PWM output capability, a real-time clock (RTC) module with calendar function, and a dedicated serial interface controller (SIC) supporting synchronous serial communication modes beyond basic UART/I²C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | 78K0R 16-bit CPU with 20 MHz max operating frequency - enables deterministic real-time control loops with sub-μs interrupt latency. |
| Flash Memory | 128 KB on-chip Flash with SuperFlash® technology - supports 100,000 write/erase cycles and in-system programming via on-chip bootloader. |
| RAM Size | 8 KB internal RAM - sufficient for stack, heap, and real-time data buffers in sensor fusion or closed-loop motor control applications. |
| ADC Resolution | 10-bit successive approximation ADC with 16 input channels - provides ±1 LSB INL for precision analog monitoring of temperature, current, or voltage rails. |

Pinout & Package
The UPD78F1142AGB-GAH-X3-AX is housed in a 64-pin LQFP package (GB suffix), with exposed pad for thermal enhancement and mechanical stability. Pin assignments follow JEDEC MS-026 standard layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD / EVDD | Power supply inputs | Dual VDD (core) and EVDD (I/O) pins enable independent noise filtering and reduce coupling between digital logic and peripheral drivers. |
| VSS / EVSS | Ground returns | Separate VSS (core ground) and EVSS (I/O ground) minimize ground bounce during high-speed port switching. |
| RESET | Active-low reset input | Asynchronous reset with internal pull-up; accepts external debounced signal or RC network for system-level power-on initialization. |
| REGC | On-chip regulator control | Connects to external capacitor to stabilize internal 3.3 V regulator output - eliminates need for external LDO in many designs. |
| P00–P06 | Port 0 bidirectional I/O | Configurable as general-purpose I/O or alternate functions including UART0 TX/RX, TAU0 channels, and ADC trigger inputs. |
| P10–P17 | Port 1 bidirectional I/O | Supports I²C bus (SCL/SDA), UART1, RTC alarm output, and external interrupt sources with configurable edge sensitivity. |
| AVREF / AVSS | Analog reference & ground | Dedicated analog supply pins isolate ADC reference from noisy digital domains - improves effective resolution by >1.5 bits. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip voltage regulator | Internal 3.3 V regulator powered from EVDD, controlled via REGC pin - reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. discrete LDO solution. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F100LEAFB#30 | RL78/G13 core, 64 KB Flash, 4 KB RAM, same 64-pin LQFP but different pin mapping - no REGC pin or hardware multiplier. | Lacks on-chip voltage regulator and hardware divider; requires external 3.3 V LDO and software-based math routines. | Select when lower cost and Renesas RL78 ecosystem toolchain compatibility outweigh need for analog integration and computational acceleration. |
| STM8L152R8T6 | 8-bit STM8 core, 64 KB Flash, 4 KB RAM, 12-bit ADC (16 ch), but only one UART and no RTC calendar mode. | Lower processing bandwidth limits complex filtering; missing calendar RTC requires external timekeeping for timestamped events. | Choose for ultra-low-power (<1 μA stop mode) battery-operated nodes where 16-bit performance and calendar RTC are non-critical. |
Compared with R5F100LEAFB#30 and STM8L152R8T6, the UPD78F1142AGB-GAH-X3-AX delivers higher analog integration (REGC, LVD, 10-bit ADC), deterministic real-time performance (hardware multiplier, 20 MHz), and full calendar RTC - making it optimal for industrial control nodes requiring self-contained power management and time-aware decision logic.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the UPD78F1142AGB-GAH-X3-AX?
The UPD78F1142AGB-GAH-X3-AX operates at a maximum frequency of 20 MHz when supplied with 2.7–5.5 V. This frequency is supported across the full industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +85 °C) and enables sub-microsecond interrupt response times essential for motor control and sensor sampling synchronization. The UPD78F1142AGB-GAH-X3-AX achieves this using an internal PLL that multiplies the external crystal or ceramic resonator input.
Does the UPD78F1142AGB-GAH-X3-AX include an on-chip voltage regulator?
Yes, the UPD78F1142AGB-GAH-X3-AX integrates an on-chip voltage regulator controlled via the REGC pin. When a 1 μF ceramic capacitor is connected to REGC, the device generates a stable 3.3 V internal supply for the core logic, eliminating the need for an external LDO in many applications. This feature is confirmed in the Renesas 78K0R/KE3 User's Manual (U17854EJ9V0UD) Section 2.2.15 and simplifies power design for the UPD78F1142AGB-GAH-X3-AX.
How many ADC channels does the UPD78F1142AGB-GAH-X3-AX support, and what is its resolution?
The UPD78F1142AGB-GAH-X3-AX features a 10-bit successive approximation ADC with 16 input channels. It supports simultaneous sampling across multiple channels using internal sample-and-hold circuitry, achieving ±1 LSB integral nonlinearity (INL) and 1.5 LSB differential nonlinearity (DNL). These specifications are documented in the electrical characteristics section of the UPD78F1142AGB-GAH-X3-AX datasheet and enable accurate analog monitoring in industrial sensor and power metering applications.
Is the UPD78F1142AGB-GAH-X3-AX pin-compatible with other devices in the 78K0R/KE3 family?
No, the UPD78F1142AGB-GAH-X3-AX is not universally pin-compatible across the 78K0R/KE3 family. While it shares the 64-pin LQFP package with variants like UPD78F1143AGB-GAH-X3-AX and UPD78F1144AGB-GAH-X3-AX, pin functions differ significantly - particularly for peripheral mappings such as UART, I²C, and TAU outputs. The UPD78F1142AGB-GAH-X3-AX pin configuration is unique to its memory size (128 KB Flash) and peripheral set, as defined in Section 1.5 of the U17854EJ9V0UD manual.
What development tools are officially supported for the UPD78F1142AGB-GAH-X3-AX?
Renesas officially supports the UPD78F1142AGB-GAH-X3-AX with the CC78K0R C compiler (Ver. 2.00), RA78K0R assembler (Ver. 1.20), ID78K0R-QB integrated debugger (Ver. 3.20), and QB-MINI2 on-chip debug emulator.
