FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the UPD78F1804AMCA2-CAB-E2-G?
The UPD78F1804AMCA2-CAB-E2-G supports a maximum CPU clock frequency of 20 MHz when powered within its specified 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply range. This frequency is achieved using the on-chip oscillator or an external crystal up to 20 MHz, with internal PLL disabled. Higher frequencies require external clock sources and careful PCB layout to maintain timing margins.
Does the UPD78F1804AMCA2-CAB-E2-G include an integrated voltage regulator?
Yes, the UPD78F1804AMCA2-CAB-E2-G includes an on-chip voltage regulator controlled by the REGC pin. When a 1.0 μF capacitor is connected between REGC and EVSS, the regulator generates a stable ~3.3 V supply for internal analog and peripheral circuits, eliminating the need for an external LDO in many designs.
How many ADC channels does the UPD78F1804AMCA2-CAB-E2-G support, and what is its resolution?
The UPD78F1804AMCA2-CAB-E2-G integrates a 10-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with 12 input channels. Conversion time is as fast as 1.2 μs under optimal conditions, and the ADC supports both internal and external reference voltage selection via the AVREF pin.
Is the UPD78F1804AMCA2-CAB-E2-G pin-compatible with other members of the 78K0R/FB3 family?
Yes, the UPD78F1804AMCA2-CAB-E2-G shares the same 32-pin LQFP package and pin configuration with other 78K0R/FB3 variants such as UPD78F1805AMCA2-CAB-E2-G and UPD78F1806AMCA2-CAB-E2-G. Pin functions are consistent across these parts, enabling hardware reuse when scaling Flash/RAM resources.
What development tools are officially supported for the UPD78F1804AMCA2-CAB-E2-G?
Renesas officially supports the QB-MINI2 on-chip debug emulator and the PG-FP5 Flash memory programmer for the UPD78F1804AMCA2-CAB-E2-G. Software toolchain includes the CC78K0R C compiler and RA78K0R assembler, both documented in User's Manuals U18549E and U18546E respectively.
