It operates at up to 20 MHz with supply voltage range 2.7–5.5 V and targets embedded control in industrial sensors and motor drive interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the UPD78F9328GB-8ET-A datasheet, UPD78F9328GB-8ET-A pinout, UPD78F9328GB-8ET-A application, or UPD78F9328GB-8ET-A equivalent, key selection criteria include Flash endurance (10,000 write/erase cycles), operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), and compatibility with Renesas' RA78K0S toolchain for C and assembly development.
Technical Context
The UPD78F9328GB-8ET-A implements the 78K/0S CPU core with Harvard architecture, supporting 16-bit addressing and 8-bit data paths. It integrates a 10-bit ADC with 8 input channels, two 16-bit timer/counters with capture/compare capability, and dual serial interfaces (UART and I²C) for sensor and actuator communication.
It supports three low-power modes - HALT, STOP, and IDLE - enabling sub-1 µA standby current. The device uses on-chip oscillator circuitry with external crystal (1–20 MHz) or ceramic resonator support via X1/X2 pins, and includes internal reset generation with power-on reset (POR) and voltage detector (LVD).

Can the UPD78F9328GB-8ET-A operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the UPD78F9328GB-8ET-A operates across a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V, making it fully compatible with standard 3.3 V logic systems. All I/O pins are 5 V tolerant when configured as inputs, allowing direct connection to 5 V peripherals without level shifters. The internal voltage regulator maintains stable core operation across this range, and the LVD function can be configured to monitor 3.3 V rail integrity.
What packaging and RoHS compliance status does the UPD78F9328GB-8ET-A have?
The UPD78F9328GB-8ET-A is supplied in a 64-pin LQFP package (10 mm × 10 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad and is RoHS-compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. Lead-free soldering profiles follow JEDEC J-STD-020D.2, and the device carries the "Green" marking per Renesas' environmental compliance documentation, confirming absence of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE.
