Product details
Overview
UPD78F9076MC-5A4-A from Renesas Electronics is an 8-bit single-chip microcontroller in the 78K/0S family, featuring 64 KB on-chip flash memory, 4 KB RAM, and integrated peripherals including two 16-bit timers, one 8-bit timer/event counter, UART, I²C, and 28-channel 10-bit ADC. It operates at up to 20 MHz with supply voltage range 2.7–5.5 V and targets embedded control in industrial and consumer equipment.
For engineers reviewing the UPD78F9076MC-5A4-A datasheet, UPD78F9076MC-5A4-A pinout, UPD78F9076MC-5A4-A application, or UPD78F9076MC-5A4-A equivalent, key selection considerations include its flash-based programmability, 28-channel ADC resolution and sampling rate, UART/I²C interface compatibility, and support for STOP/LOW-power modes in resource-constrained control systems.
Technical Context
This microcontroller implements the 78K/0S CPU core with 16-bit addressing, supporting both mask ROM (µPD789074) and flash variants (µPD78F9076). The UPD78F9076MC-5A4-A uses a 64-pin LQFP package and integrates a 10-bit ADC with 28 input channels, programmable gain amplifier, and hardware-triggered conversion sequencing.
Its peripheral set includes UART with automatic baud-rate detection, I²C master/slave mode with clock stretching, two 16-bit timer/counters with capture/compare/PWM output, and an 8-bit event counter with external trigger capability - all synchronized to a single system clock domain derived from internal oscillator or external crystal (1–20 MHz).

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the UPD78F9076MC-5A4-A?
The UPD78F9076MC-5A4-A supports a maximum system clock frequency of 20 MHz. This can be achieved using either the internal high-speed oscillator (with ±1% accuracy at 25°C) or an external crystal connected to X1/X2 pins. The CPU executes instructions at one cycle per instruction for most operations, enabling deterministic real-time performance in control loops.
Does the UPD78F9076MC-5A4-A support in-system programming (ISP)?
Yes, the UPD78F9076MC-5A4-A supports in-system programming via its on-chip UART bootloader. Firmware updates can be performed without removing the device from the PCB, using standard UART signals (TXD0/RxD0) and a simple command protocol. No external high-voltage programming signal (VPP) is required during normal ISP operation.
How many analog input channels does the UPD78F9076MC-5A4-A ADC support?
The UPD78F9076MC-5A4-A integrates a 10-bit successive approximation ADC with 28 selectable analog input channels. These channels are distributed across multiple port pins (e.g., P00–P07, P10–P15, P20–P27) and can be scanned in sequence using the hardware ADC sequencer - eliminating CPU overhead during multi-channel acquisition.
What power-saving modes are available on the UPD78F9076MC-5A4-A?
The UPD78F9076MC-5A4-A offers three low-power modes: STOP mode (0.7 µA typical), HALT mode (1.2 µA), and IDLE mode. In STOP mode, the CPU and most peripherals halt while RAM and certain wakeup sources (e.g., external IRQ, RTC alarm) remain active. Wakeup latency from STOP is under 10 µs.
Is the UPD78F9076MC-5A4-A qualified for automotive applications?
No, the UPD78F9076MC-5A4-A is rated for "Standard" quality grade per Renesas documentation, intended for computers, office equipment, industrial robots, and consumer appliances. It is not AEC-Q100 qualified and lacks automotive-specific features such as extended temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) or enhanced ESD immunity required for vehicle ECUs.
