The V850ES/Jx3 MCUs with high-performance cores and up to 1 MB of flash memory support 3-volt (V) high-speed control applications and are available in 144- and 100-pin low-profile quad flatpack (LQFP) packages. The variety of general-purpose on-chip functions includes 16-bit timers, serial interfaces, 16-channel 10-bit A/D converter, two-channel D/A converter, four-channel direct memory access (DMA) controller, real-time output port, external bus, watch timer, watchdog timer and on-chip debugger.
For memory hungry applications, V850ES/JG3 also offers a huge 60 kB on-chip RAM.

To turn next-generation innovation into production as fast as possible, the new microcontrollers are supported by NEC Electronics' low-cost, full-featured development tools. NEC Electronics' IECUBE™ in-circuit emulator and MINICUBE2® on-chip debugger can be used with all of NEC Electronics' 8-, 16- and 32-bit MCUs. In addition, NEC Electronics' MINICUBE® on-chip debugger can be used with the company's 32-bit V850™ MCUs. The IECUBE in-circuit emulator and MINICUBE and MINICUBE2 on-chip debuggers are supported by IAR Systems' and NEC Electronics' software tools.
