The H8/38004F MCU offers extremely low power consumption together with 32Kbyte single-supply on-chip Flash memory and is the first in the SLP series that is available in a 64-pin quad flatpack.
It also includes a 20MHz 16bit CPU core and is designed to offer a cost optimised solution where DSP or higher cost MCUs would previously have been used.
A powerful five channel 16bit timer module allows the user to generate up to 15 channels of 16bit PWM.
H8/36109GF's on-chip oscillator operates at up to 40MHz, enabling the timer channels to operate with a 25ns timer resolution.
The addition of a watchdog timer with independent on-chip oscillator, power on reset and low-voltage detection circuits simplifies the design of safety critical systems.
H8/36109GF provides a true single-chip motor control and user interface solution.
The 128Kbyte of on-chip single supply flash memory allows the user to easily reprogram the memory without any special additional circuitry.
Large on-chip SRAM makes it ideal for applications requiring high levels of data handling and calculation.
Three high-speed serial ports combined with up to 5Kbyte of SRAM, for buffering, make the device ideal for communications gateways and protocol convertors.
The on-chip I2C Interface allows the H8/36109GF to interface to a variety of peripherals such as serial EEPROMs, telecomms ICs and other microcontrollers.
This makes the series useful in many consumer applications such as set-top boxes where it can be used as a low cost systems controller for handling I/O functions.
It can also be used in other consumer products such as radios and stereos where I2C is the communications standard.
H8/36109GF's powerful peripherals include three high speed USARTs, a multimaster I2C channel and 16 channels of 10bit A/D to offer strong communications capability.
The H8/36109GF offers a low cost integrated upgrade solution to existing Renesas H8/300H tiny users.
