FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the UPD78F1201MC(S)-CAB-M1-AX?
The UPD78F1201MC(S)-CAB-M1-AX supports a maximum system clock frequency of 20 MHz. This is achievable using the internal high-speed oscillator (8 MHz ±1%) with PLL multiplication or an external crystal up to 20 MHz. At this speed, the 78K0R core executes instructions with single-cycle access to on-chip RAM and two-cycle access to Flash memory, enabling deterministic real-time response in control applications.
Does the UPD78F1201MC(S)-CAB-M1-AX support in-circuit debugging?
Yes, the UPD78F1201MC(S)-CAB-M1-AX supports on-chip debugging via dedicated pins (BKGD, RESN, and optional TDI/TDO) compatible with Renesas QB-MINI2 and QB-78K0RIX3 emulators. Debug functionality includes breakpoint setting, register inspection, memory read/write, and real-time trace - all without requiring external debug headers or special boot modes, as the debug interface is integrated into the silicon.
What is the Flash memory endurance specification for the UPD78F1201MC(S)-CAB-M1-AX?
The UPD78F1201MC(S)-CAB-M1-AX specifies 100,000 write/erase cycles for its 64 KB on-chip Flash memory, with guaranteed 10-year data retention at +85°C. This endurance is validated under Renesas' standard qualification test conditions and applies to all sectors. Sector-wise erase (1 KB granularity) allows firmware updates without disturbing active code regions, supporting robust field upgrade implementations.
Can the UPD78F1201MC(S)-CAB-M1-AX operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the UPD78F1201MC(S)-CAB-M1-AX operates across a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V, fully supporting 3.3 V nominal systems. At 3.3 V, it maintains full functionality including 20 MHz operation, ADC performance (10-bit resolution, ±1 LSB INL), and all peripheral interfaces. The dual-domain design (VDD and EVDD) ensures analog accuracy is preserved even with digital supply fluctuations typical in 3.3 V rail environments.
How many ADC input channels does the UPD78F1201MC(S)-CAB-M1-AX support?
The UPD78F1201MC(S)-CAB-M1-AX integrates a 10-bit successive-approximation ADC with 16 selectable analog input channels. These channels are mapped across ports P0 through P5 and include dedicated pins for internal temperature sensor and reference voltage monitoring. Channel selection is software-controlled via the ADPC register, and conversions can be triggered by software, timer, or external event - enabling synchronized sampling in multi-sensor applications.
