Product details
Overview
UPD78F1177AGF-GAT-AX from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit single-chip microcontroller in the 78K0R/KE3 family, featuring 128 KB Flash memory, 8 KB RAM, and integrated peripherals including 12-bit ADC, UART, I²C, and timer modules. It operates at up to 20 MHz, supports 2.7–5.5 V supply, and targets embedded control in industrial sensors and motor drive interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the UPD78F1177AGF-GAT-AX datasheet, UPD78F1177AGF-GAT-AX pinout, UPD78F1177AGF-GAT-AX application, or UPD78F1177AGF-GAT-AX equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated package mapping (LQFP-100), confirmed pin roles, real-world use context, and two technically documented alternative parts for design continuity.
Technical Context
The UPD78F1177AGF-GAT-AX implements the 78K0R CPU core with Harvard architecture, supporting 16-bit data paths and 24-bit addressing. It integrates a 12-bit successive-approximation ADC with 16 channels, 3x 16-bit timer arrays (including PWM output capability), and dual serial interfaces (UART + I²C) with independent clock sources.
Its on-chip voltage regulator enables single-supply operation across 2.7–5.5 V, while the built-in watchdog timer and low-voltage detection circuit support robust operation in industrial environments. The device uses SuperFlash® technology for Flash endurance (>100k write/erase cycles) and data retention (>20 years at 85°C).

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, lower max frequency (24 MHz but with reduced peripheral set) | Targets cost-sensitive consumer appliances where ADC channel count and PWM resolution are less critical | Select when BOM cost reduction is prioritized over analog performance and timer flexibility |
| UPD78F1154GA-GAD-AX | Same 78K0R/KE3 family, 96 KB Flash, 6 KB RAM, identical pinout and peripheral register map | Drop-in replacement for designs requiring slightly lower memory footprint and reduced I/O count (72 pins vs. 81) | Choose for migration paths where existing PCB layout can be reused with minor trace adjustments |
Compared with UPD78F1177AGF-GAT-AX, R5F100LEAFB#30 offers lower power consumption but lacks 12-bit ADC linearity and dedicated PWM dead-time control, while UPD78F1154GA-GAD-AX maintains full software compatibility and peripheral feature parity at reduced memory scale - making it ideal for incremental capacity optimization.

This enables seamless firmware development and field diagnostics without requiring external JTAG adapters or additional pins.
What packaging and RoHS compliance status does the UPD78F1177AGF-GAT-AX have?
The UPD78F1177AGF-GAT-AX is supplied in a RoHS-compliant LQFP-100 package (14 mm × 14 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with lead-free matte tin plating. It meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3), requiring bake conditioning before reflow if exposed to ambient for more than 168 hours.
Can the UPD78F1177AGF-GAT-AX operate from a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the UPD78F1177AGF-GAT-AX operates across a supply range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V, fully supporting 3.3 V nominal systems. Its internal voltage regulator generates stable core and analog voltages regardless of input rail, and all I/O pins are 5 V tolerant - allowing safe interfacing with both 3.3 V logic and legacy 5 V peripherals without level shifters.
