Product details
Overview
UPD78F1146AF1-AN1-A 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 12-bit ADC (16 channels), UART, I²C, and 16-bit timer arrays. 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 UPD78F1146AF1-AN1-A datasheet, UPD78F1146AF1-AN1-A pinout, UPD78F1146AF1-AN1-A application, or UPD78F1146AF1-AN1-A equivalent, key selection considerations include its 100-pin LQFP package, Flash endurance (100,000 write/erase cycles), operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), and compliance with industrial-grade quality requirements per Renesas specification.
Technical Context
The UPD78F1146AF1-AN1-A implements the 78K0R CPU core with 16-bit architecture, supporting both 8- and 16-bit instructions and featuring a 3-stage pipeline for efficient execution. It integrates a programmable low-voltage detection circuit (LVD), watchdog timer (WDT), and power-on reset (POR) for robust system initialization and fault recovery.
Peripheral integration includes a 12-bit successive-approximation ADC with sample-and-hold, four independent 16-bit timer modules (each configurable as interval timer, reload timer, or event counter), and dual serial interface units supporting asynchronous UART and synchronous I²C modes - all accessible via dedicated SFRs and interrupt vectors mapped to the 78K0R interrupt controller.
