The V850ES/Hx3 microcontrollers are designed to extend the performance, memory and peripheral mix of the existing V850ES/Hx lineup. Two new internal oscillators that operate at 240 kilohertz (kHz) and 8 MHz have been added. Two more 16-bit timers also have been added, including one capable of controlling a 3-phase motor, bringing the total number of timers into double figures on larger devices. Other enhancements include an I2C interface and a spread-spectrum clock generator (SSCG) that measures and manages radiant noise and decreases EMI emissions without external components.

Available in 64-, 80-, 100- and 144-pin LQFPs, the V850ES/Hx3 microcontrollers offer all of the benefits of the existing V850ES line, including up to 24 channels of 10-bit A/D conversion, multiple serial interfaces, watch timer, watchdog timer, and on-chip debugger. In terms of memory, RAM sizes have been increased from previous generations and now range from 8 to 32 kilobytes (KB). Flash memory capacities now range from 128 to 512 KB.
