NEC uPD78P324GJ(A) alternative

Hello All,

I would need your help in finding an alternative for a NEC uPD78P324GJ(A) 16-/8-Bit Single-Chip Microcomputers 74 pin.

I'm struggling for some time now to find it, I'm from Europe and haven't find the above anywhere available for order so I'm looking for an alternative easier to find

Thanks in advance

Hello Andy,

You might as well start with a blank sheet of paper, as you will be unable to find anything like a drop-in replacement for your NEC device. I suspect that the product it is in hasn't been updated for years - if so, it's time to either update or let it go EOL.

Are you an engineer? Do you know how to select a microcontroller for a particular product? Just as a start, consider the following:
- Specialized peripherals (crypto engines, etc.)
- Standard peripherals (UART / SPI / I2C / GPIO, etc.)
- Processing power requirements, deter,mines CPU type & architecture
- Voltage & power requirements

Good luck,

Tom
