Renesas R0E556100CFK00

Overview

R0E556100CFK00 from Renesas Electronics is a dedicated converter board enabling connection between the R0E001000FLX10 flexible emulator cable and 144-pin 0.5 mm pitch LQFP foot patterns (PLQP0144KA-A), used for debugging and on-board evaluation of RX610 Group microcontrollers.

For engineers reviewing the R0E556100CFK00 datasheet, R0E556100CFK00 pinout, R0E556100CFK00 application, or R0E556100CFK00 equivalent, this board serves as a mechanical and electrical interface adapter-not an IC-requiring precise alignment with YQPACK144SD/NQPACK144SD-ND socket systems and supporting ≤50 connector insertion/removal cycles.

Technical Context

The R0E556100CFK00 implements a passive 1:1 signal routing architecture between two 100-pin connectors (CN1 and CN2), mapping RX610 MCU pins-including critical debug signals like SWDIO, SWCLK, RESET, and VDD-to corresponding positions on the flexible cable interface. It provides no active logic, voltage translation, or buffering.

Its design centers on mechanical compatibility: it mates exclusively with Tokyo Eletech's YQPACK144SD socket and NQPACK144SD-ND base adapter, requiring four YQ-GUIDE alignment fixtures to secure the stack. No soldering or PCB modification is needed-only precise mechanical stacking per Figure 2 and Figure 3.

FAQ

What is the primary function of the R0E556100CFK00?

The R0E556100CFK00 is a passive converter board that bridges the R0E001000FLX10 flexible emulator cable to a 144-pin 0.5 mm pitch LQFP footprint (PLQP0144KA-A). It enables physical and electrical connection for debugging and on-board evaluation of RX610 Group microcontrollers without requiring custom PCB design or soldering. The R0E556100CFK00 itself contains no active circuitry.

Which sockets and accessories are required to use the R0E556100CFK00?

The R0E556100CFK00 requires Tokyo Eletech's NQPACK144SD-ND base adapter mounted on the user system, YQPACK144SD placed atop it, and four YQ-GUIDE alignment fixtures to secure the stack. These items are included in the R0E556100CFK00 package per Section 2 of the User's Manual. HQPACK144SD is optional and not included.

Does the R0E556100CFK00 support signal conditioning or level translation?

No. The R0E556100CFK00 performs only passive 1:1 signal routing between its two 100-pin connectors (CN1 and CN2). It contains no resistors, capacitors, transceivers, or voltage-shifting circuitry. All signals-including SWDIO, SWCLK, RESET, and VDD-pass through unchanged, preserving timing and logic levels as defined by the connected emulator and target MCU.

Can the R0E556100CFK00 be used with MCUs outside the RX610 Group?

No-the R0E556100CFK00 is explicitly designed for the RX610 Group's 144-pin LQFP package (PLQP0144KA-A) and its debug interface pinout. Pin mapping in Table 2 confirms signal assignments specific to RX610 devices. Using it with other MCUs would require verifying identical pin functions and physical footprint compatibility, which is not supported or validated by Renesas.

Is the R0E556100CFK00 RoHS compliant and WEEE registered?

Yes. The R0E556100CFK00 complies with the EU RoHS Directive and falls under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC. As stated in Section 7 of the User's Manual, it must be disposed of through certified recycling channels-not as household waste-and is eligible for Renesas' Tools Product Recycling Program in Europe.
