Pinout & Package
UPD78F1153AGK-GAK-AX is housed in a 64-pin LQFP package (10 mm × 10 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are defined per Renesas User's Manual U17854EJ9V0UD, Chapter 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD, EVDD | Power supply inputs | VDD = main digital supply (2.7–5.5 V); EVDD = analog/dedicated peripheral supply, decoupled separately |
| VSS, EVSS | GND references | VSS = digital ground; EVSS = analog ground - must be connected at single point near REGC |
| RESET | Active-low reset input | Asynchronous reset with internal pull-up; accepts external reset signal or watchdog timeout assertion |
| REGC | On-chip regulator control | Connects external capacitor (1.0 μF ceramic) to stabilize internal 3.3 V regulator for analog/ADC subsystem |
| P00–P06 | Port 0 bidirectional I/O | Includes NMI, INT0–INT2, and oscillator input/output functions; configurable pull-up/pull-down |
| P10–P17 | Port 1 bidirectional I/O | Supports UART0/1, I²C, CSI, and timer array I/O; includes interrupt-on-change capability |
| AVREF | Analog reference voltage | Accepts external reference (1.5–5.5 V) or connects to internal 3.3 V regulated output for ADC precision |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flash memory with background operation | Enables self-programming during application execution without halting CPU - critical for firmware updates in field-deployed systems |
| Dual UART with LIN 2.1 compliance | Supports automotive body electronics communication with automatic sync-break detection and checksum generation |
| Hardware watchdog timer with window mode | Prevents runaway code by requiring periodic refresh within strict timing window - enhances system reliability in unattended operation |
| Low-power STOP mode (0.35 μA typical) | Retains RAM and register contents while disabling clocks to all peripherals - ideal for battery-powered sensor nodes |
| ADC with hardware averaging and scan mode | Configurable 2–16 sample averaging reduces noise; auto-scan across 16 channels eliminates software overhead for multi-sensor polling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F100PLGSP | RL78/G13-based; lower Flash (64 KB), higher active power efficiency, no hardware LIN support | Limited to simpler control tasks without LIN bus integration or high-resolution ADC requirements | Select when cost-sensitive, ultra-low-power operation dominates over analog precision and automotive protocol needs |
| UPD78F1145AGK-GAK-AX | Same 78K0R/KE3 family; 96 KB Flash, identical peripherals and pinout except reduced Flash and no VBAT support | Direct drop-in replacement where 96 KB program space suffices and battery-backed RAM is not required | Choose for legacy design migration or cost-optimized variants where full 128 KB is unused |
Compared with UPD78F1153AGK-GAK-AX, R5F100PLGSP offers better active power efficiency but lacks LIN and high-precision ADC features, while UPD78F1145AGK-GAK-AX provides identical peripheral functionality in a lower-density Flash variant suitable for scaled-down implementations.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the UPD78F1153AGK-GAK-AX?
The UPD78F1153AGK-GAK-AX supports a maximum CPU clock frequency of 20 MHz when powered at 2.7–5.5 V. This is achieved using the on-chip PLL or external crystal oscillator (up to 20 MHz) with programmable prescaler. Timing-critical peripherals like the 16-bit timer array operate synchronously with this clock, enabling precise PWM and capture operations.
Does the UPD78F1153AGK-GAK-AX support LIN bus communication?
Yes, the UPD78F1153AGK-GAK-AX supports LIN 2.1 communication via UART0, which includes dedicated hardware for sync-break detection, checksum calculation, and identifier filtering. This enables direct integration into automotive body electronics networks without external LIN transceivers or software bit-banging overhead.
What is the Flash memory endurance specification for the UPD78F1153AGK-GAK-AX?
The UPD78F1153AGK-GAK-AX features 128 KB of on-chip SuperFlash® memory rated for 100,000 write/erase cycles and guaranteed 10-year data retention at +85°C. This endurance supports robust field firmware updates and parameter storage in industrial applications where reprogramming occurs regularly over product lifetime.
How does the UPD78F1153AGK-GAK-AX handle power supply regulation for analog circuits?
The UPD78F1153AGK-GAK-AX integrates an on-chip voltage regulator controlled by the REGC pin. Connecting a 1.0 μF ceramic capacitor between REGC and EVSS stabilizes the internal 3.3 V analog supply, isolating ADC and comparator circuits from digital noise - essential for achieving ±1 LSB INL performance across temperature.
Is the UPD78F1153AGK-GAK-AX pin-compatible with other devices in the 78K0R/KE3 family?
Yes, the UPD78F1153AGK-GAK-AX shares the same 64-pin LQFP package and pinout with other 78K0R/KE3 devices including UPD78F1145AGK-GAK-AX and UPD78F1146AGK-GAK-AX. This allows hardware reuse across designs with different Flash/RAM configurations, provided peripheral usage aligns with the specific variant's resource mapping.
