Overview
R5F100CEALA#U0 from Renesas is a 32-bit RL78/G13 microcontroller with 64 KB flash memory, 4 KB data flash, and 3 KB RAM, operating at up to 32 MHz with 41 DMIPS performance. It features ultra-low power consumption (66 μA/MHz active, 0.57 μA RTC+LVD mode), 10-bit A/D converter (26 channels), real-time clock, and multiple serial interfaces (CSI, UART/LIN, I²C) for embedded control in battery-powered industrial sensors and smart home devices.
For engineers reviewing the R5F100CEALA#U0 datasheet, R5F100CEALA#U0 pinout, R5F100CEALA#U0 application, or R5F100CEALA#U0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 36-pin WFLGA package, -40°C to +105°C industrial temperature grade (G), integrated data flash with 1M rewrite cycles, and support for background operation during flash rewriting.
Technical Context
The R5F100CEALA#U0 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture and 3-stage pipeline, enabling configurable instruction execution time from 0.03125 μs (32 MHz high-speed mode) to 30.5 μs (32.768 kHz subsystem clock). It integrates on-chip peripherals including DMA controller (4 channels), 16-bit timer (12 channels), and watchdog timer with dedicated low-speed oscillator.
Power management includes HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE modes, plus on-chip POR and LVD with 14 selectable voltage detection levels. The device supports self-programming with boot swap and flash shield window functions, and uses internal RAM (start address FEF00H) for flash library operations during data flash rewriting.
