Pins..DC Characteristics, Pin Handling

Regarding the DC characteristics of the uPD780021A Data Sheet, what is the MAX value of the output voltage when VDD is 1.8V (IoL = approx. 500μA) for the pins in the bottom cell (P00 to 03, etc.)?

In a small-current area of this level, the output voltage can be considered to be almost proportional to the output current.
Therefore, since the voltage is 0.5V at 400μA, it is considered to rise 0.125V at 500μA, becoming approximately 0.63V.
If this value needs to be guaranteed, this can be done through special specifications.
Please request special specifications via the appropriate sales route.

For the uPD78018F, the data sheet (U10280) describes the VOL1 condition as VDD = 4.5 to 5.5V, IOL = 1.6mA.
What are the DC characteristics when VDD is less than 4.5V ?

These characteristics are described as VOL3 (400μA).

In the uPD780308, when input pins and output pins are mixed in the same port and the on-chip pull-up resistor is set to ON, does this cause interference with the output pin side?

No, this does not cause interference. (There is no problem.)
As can be seen in the port block diagram, the pull-up resistor of each port can only be enabled by setting the PUO register to 1 and also setting the PM register to 1 (in other words, input port mode).
Therefore, no pull-up resistor can be connected to a pin specified as output.

The uPD780232 has a total of 53 display outputs.
Is usage with 46 segments and 7 grids possible?

Yes, it is possible.
The display output pins can be freely set from among those 53.
But, since the drive capability differs according to the pin, be careful about the pin assignment and the respective load current when setting segments and grids.

Regarding I/O ports, it is written that unused ports should be independently connected to VDD or VSS via a resistor; but how should non-port pins such as AVREF and AVSS be connected?
Should they be connected via a resistor, or should they be connected directly?

They can be connected either way.
Normally, they probably would be connected directly since this means easier handling.
NC means that the pin is open internally, so either connection method is OK.

Regarding the handling method of unused pins of the uPD78F0034, the data sheet describes "Independently connect to VDD0 or VSS0 via a resistor".
Will problems result from handling as "open in the output mode" ?

While such handling is not totally prohibited, some problems remain.
Please refer to "Handling of unused pins".

When pins are unused, it is written to independently connect them via a resistor.
Is it a problem if a number of unused ports are connected as a group to VDD0 or VSS0 ?

This will cause problems.
A port may switch to output during the interval until reset becomes effective following power on or when the port mode is rewritten due to program defect, etc.
At this time, bundling unused pins may cause shorting between High and Low output pins.
Since this may cause damage to the microcontroller, it is necessary to handle each pin individually.

When attempting to light an LED using the ports of the uPD78F0034A that can drive LEDs directly (P30 to P33, P50 to P57), what is the maximum flow-out current and maximum sink current?

The sink current (low-level output current) is 15mA/pin MAX. and the total pin current value for P3 and P5 is up to 70mA for each pin.
The flow-out current from P5 (high-level output current) is 1mA/pin MAX. and the total for all chip pins is up to 15mA.
(Note that since P30 to P33 are open-drain outputs, there is no flow-out current from these pins.)
These characteristics are described in the data sheet.

Regarding the handling of unused pins in the mPD78F9116, the data sheet says to connect only pins P50 to P53 to VDD via a resistor.
Why should only these open-drain pins be connected to VDD instead of to VSS ?

The P5 middle-range withstanding voltage port has a circuit to stabilize the read level, and the pin is driven in the VDD direction via an internal circuit only during read.
If the pin is pulled down, the current may increase or the potential of the port may become an intermediate level due to this internal circuit and the external pull-down.
In order to prevent this, pull-up is recommended.
Therefore, in the case of connection to VSS, at worst a 3μA current may flow when P5 is read.
Other than that, there is no particular problem.

Do input overvoltage protection diodes (between a pin and GND, and between a pin and VDD) exist?

Diodes do exist between these pins, although not for protection purposes.
This does not mean that overvoltage is allowed.
When using a device, be sure to strictly observe its specifications (absolute maximum ratings).

In the uPD78902x, can pull-up resistors be specified by a mask option?

Since all on-chip pull-up resistors for the ports of the uPD78902X are switched by software, no item is specified by mask option.

If a microcontroller port is damaged, I believe that there are cases when the L level, H level, and high impedance result, but which case is the most frequent?

This depends on the usage method, so it is not possible to tell which case is the most frequent.

Are there any problems if the test pin of the uPD780988 (in the case of QFP, pin 39) is pulled down with a resistor (10kΩ)?

When the system noise is considerable, if the voltage of the test pin cannot be maintained at the low level due to the influence of noise, the device will enter the test mode and may no longer operate normally.
Therefore handle the test pin as specified (directly connect to VSS).
