Product details
Overview
UPD78F1500AGK(S)-GAK-AX from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit single-chip microcontroller in the 78K0R/LF3 family, featuring 128 KB on-chip Flash memory, 8 KB RAM, and integrated 10-bit ADC with 24 channels. It operates at up to 20 MHz, supports I²C, UART, and CSI interfaces, and targets embedded control in industrial sensors and motor drive subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the UPD78F1500AGK(S)-GAK-AX datasheet, UPD78F1500AGK(S)-GAK-AX pinout, UPD78F1500AGK(S)-GAK-AX application, or UPD78F1500AGK(S)-GAK-AX equivalent, key selection criteria include Flash endurance (100k write/erase cycles), operating voltage range (2.7–5.5 V), and support for low-power stop modes with wake-up via external interrupt or RTC alarm.
Technical Context
The UPD78F1500AGK(S)-GAK-AX implements the 78K0R CPU core with 16-bit architecture, Harvard memory organization, and instruction set compatible with earlier 78K0 devices. It integrates a 32-bit programmable watchdog timer, 16-bit multifunction timer array (MTU), and real-time clock (RTC) with calendar function.
Peripheral integration includes a 10-bit ADC with sample-and-hold, 8-channel 8-bit D/A converter, and 32 general-purpose I/O ports with selectable pull-up resistors and noise filter capability. The device supports four power-saving modes: HALT, STOP, IDLE, and sub-idle - enabling <1 µA current draw in STOP mode with RTC active.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the UPD78F1500AGK(S)-GAK-AX?
The UPD78F1500AGK(S)-GAK-AX supports a maximum system clock frequency of 20 MHz. This can be achieved using the internal high-speed oscillator (HOCO) or an external crystal/resonator connected to the X1/X2 pins. At 20 MHz, the CPU executes instructions at approximately 10 MIPS, with typical current consumption of 12 mA in active mode at 5 V.
Does the UPD78F1500AGK(S)-GAK-AX include a built-in DAC?
Yes, the UPD78F1500AGK(S)-GAK-AX integrates an 8-bit D/A converter with 8 independent output channels. Each channel supports voltage output mode with buffer amplifiers, enabling direct interface to analog actuators or reference generation without external components. The DAC operates independently of the ADC and supports simultaneous updates via register writes.
What power-saving modes does the UPD78F1500AGK(S)-GAK-AX support?
The UPD78F1500AGK(S)-GAK-AX supports four low-power modes: HALT (0.8 µA), STOP (0.7 µA with RTC active), IDLE (120 µA), and sub-idle (25 µA). In STOP mode, the main clock stops but the RTC continues running, allowing wake-up via alarm, external interrupt, or serial interface activity - ideal for battery-powered sensor endpoints.
Is the UPD78F1500AGK(S)-GAK-AX RoHS compliant?
Yes, the UPD78F1500AGK(S)-GAK-AX is RoHS compliant and meets the EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. Renesas confirms compliance through material declarations and manufacturing process controls. The "GAK" suffix in the part number denotes lead-free (Pb-free) packaging, and the LQFP package uses matte tin plating on terminals.
What development tools are officially supported for the UPD78F1500AGK(S)-GAK-AX?
Renesas officially supports the QB-MINI2 on-chip debugger and the PG-FP5 Flash programmer for the UPD78F1500AGK(S)-GAK-AX. Software toolchain includes the CC78K0R C compiler and RA78K0R assembler.
