NEC Electronics product depend on its quality grade, as indicated below. Customers must check the
quality grade of each NEC Electronics product before using it in a particular application.
"Standard": Computers, office equipment, communications equipment, test and measurement
equipment, audio and visual equipment, home electronic appliances, machine tools,
personal electronic equipment and industrial robots.
"Special": Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.), traffic control systems,
anti-disaster systems, anti-crime systems, safety equipment and medical equipment
(not specifically designed for life support).
"Specific": Aircraft, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control
systems, life support systems and medical equipment for life support, etc.
The quality grade of NEC Electronics products is "Standard" unless otherwise expressly specified in NEC
Electronics data sheets or data books, etc. If customers wish to use NEC Electronics products in applications

3. 78K0R – Save It! system configuration
The 78K0R – Save It! starter kit system configuration is given in the diagram below
Figure 6: 78K0R- Save It! system configuration
3.1 78K0R – Save It!
The 78K0R – Save It! is a demonstration kit for the 78F1009 16-bit low power consumption microcontroller
of the 78K0R family. The demonstration board is connected to the host system via USB interface cable. The
host system may be used for On-Chip debugging by using the IAR C-SPY debugger and to allow execution
of application programs on 78K0R – Save It! starter kit.
78K0R – Save It! runs the microcontroller at 20 MHz operating speed in normal operation mode.
3.2 Host computer
The USB host interface enables communication to the 78K0R – Save It! board. The μPD78F0730 78K0 8-
Bit microcontroller with on-chip USB interface and the NEC virtual UART driver allows application software to
access the µPD78F1009 device in the same way as it would access a standard RS232 interface.
The NEC virtual UART driver appears to the windows system as an extra Com Port, in addition to any
existing hardware Com Ports.
3.3 Power supply via USB interface
The TK-78F0730 board is powered by the USB interface. Optional the power supply can be applied via a
JACK connector which has to be mounted to CN3.

78K0R – Save It!
4. 78K0R – Save It! installation and operation
4.1 Getting started
The 78K0R – Save It! is delivered with two PC based user programs. The TK-78K0RKE3L demonstration
program is designed to measure the current consumption, the CPU frequency and the actual illuminance
(measured by an illuminance sensor). The Applilet EZ PL is an easy to use GUI based program to build up
small logical circuits which are automatically converted into an IAR Embedded workbench or NEC PM+
project. They can be compiled and downloaded to the target hardware directly from within the Applilet EZ
PL; therefore it is necessary that the chosen Workbench Suite is correctly installed on the Host PC.
