Preface
The H8/36057 Group and H8/36037 Group are single-chip microcomputers made up of the high-
speed H8/300H CPU employing Renesas Technology-original architecture as their cores, and the
peripheral functions required to configure a system. The H8/300H CPU has an instruction set that
is compatible with the H8/300 CPU.
Target Users: This manual was written for users who will be using the H8/36057 Group and
H8/36037 Group in the design of application systems. Target users are expected to
understand the fundamentals of electrical circuits, logical circuits, and
microcomputers.
Objective:
This manual was written to explain the hardware functions and electrical
characteristics of the H8/36057 Group and H8/36037 Group to the target users.
Refer to the H8/300H Series Software Manual for a detailed description of the
instruction set.
Notes on reading this manual:
•
In order to understand the overall functions of the chip
Read the manual according to the contents. This manual can be roughly categorized into parts
on the CPU, system control functions, peripheral functions, and electrical characteristics.
•
In order to understand the details of the CPU's functions
Read the H8/300H Series Software Manual.
•
In order to understand the details of a register when its name is known
Read the index that is the final part of the manual to find the page number of the entry on the
register. The addresses, bits, and initial values of the registers are summarized in section 21,
List of Registers.
Example:
Register name:
The following notation is used for cases when the same or a
similar function, e.g. serial communication interface, is
implemented on more than one channel:
XXX_N (XXX is the register name and N is the channel
number)
The MSB is on the left and the LSB is on the right.
