Overview
The H8/3039 Group comprises microcomputers (MCUs) that integrate system supporting functions together with an H8/300H CPU core featuring an original Renesas Technology architecture.
The H8/300H CPU has a 32-bit internal architecture with sixteen 16-bit general registers, and a concise, optimized instruction set designed for speed. It can address a 16-Mbyte linear address space. Its instruction set is upward-compatible at the object-code level with the H8/300 CPU, enabling easy porting of software from the H8/300 Series.
The on-chip system supporting functions include ROM, RAM, a 16-bit integrated timer unit (ITU), a programmable timing pattern controller (TPC), a watchdog timer (WDT), a serial communication interface (SCI), an A/D converter, I/O ports, and other facilities.
The H8/3039 Group consists of four models: the H8/3039 with 128 kbytes of ROM and 4 kbytes of RAM, the H8/3038 with 64 kbytes of ROM and 2 kbytes of RAM, the H8/3037 with 32 kbytes of ROM and 1 kbytes of RAM, and the H8/3036 with 16 kbytes of ROM and 512 bytes of RAM.
The five MCU operating modes offer a choice of expanded mode, single-chip mode and address space size.

In addition to the mask-ROM version of the H8/3039 Group, an F-ZTAT™ version with an on chip flash memory that can be freely programmed and reprogrammed by the user after the board is installed is also available. This version enables users to respond quickly and flexibly to changing application specifications, growing production volumes, and other conditions.
