Product details
Overview
R5F100JKAFA#50 from Renesas is a 52-pin LQFP-0.65mm MCU in the RL78/G13 family, featuring 256 KB flash, 8 KB data flash, 20 KB RAM, 16-bit RL78 CPU core, and operation from 1.6 V to 5.5 V. It delivers 41 DMIPS at 32 MHz, supports ultra-low-power modes (66 μA/MHz active, 0.57 μA RTC+LVD), and integrates UART, I²C, CSI, 16-bit timers, 10-bit ADC (26 channels), RTC, and DMA - deployed in battery-powered industrial sensors and smart metering endpoints.
For engineers reviewing the R5F100JKAFA#50 datasheet, R5F100JKAFA#50 pinout, R5F100JKAFA#50 application, or R5F100JKAFA#50 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 52-pin LQFP package with 0.65-mm pitch, 256 KB code flash + 8 KB data flash allocation, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade (A/D suffix), and integrated BGO-capable data flash for firmware-over-the-air updates without halting execution.
Technical Context
The R5F100JKAFA#50 implements the RL78 CISC core with 3-stage pipeline and configurable instruction timing (0.03125 μs min @32 MHz). Its memory subsystem includes 256 KB on-chip flash with 1 KB block erase, 8 KB data flash supporting background operation (BGO), and 20 KB RAM - enabling concurrent program execution and nonvolatile parameter storage.
Peripherals are tightly coupled to low-power operation: 16-bit timer array (12 channels), 10-bit ADC with internal 1.45 V reference and temperature sensor, real-time clock with calendar/alarm, and dual-channel DMA that transfers between SFR and RAM in just 2 clocks - critical for deterministic sensor data acquisition in energy-constrained systems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F101JKAFA#50 | No data flash (0 KB); identical core, peripherals, and package | Not suitable for applications requiring nonvolatile parameter storage or firmware updates | Select when only code flash is needed and cost reduction is prioritized over field-upgrade capability |
| R5F100JKDFA#50 | Same flash/RAM specs but rated for -40°C to +105°C (G-grade) | Required for under-hood automotive or high-ambient industrial environments | Choose for extended temperature operation where R5F100JKAFA#50's A/D-grade (-40°C to +85°C) is insufficient |
Compared with R5F100JKAFA#50, R5F101JKAFA#50 removes data flash to reduce cost and die size while retaining all other functionality - ideal for fixed-function devices; R5F100JKDFA#50 maintains identical memory and peripherals but qualifies for higher ambient temperatures, making it suitable for thermally demanding enclosures without redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding DMIPS rating for the R5F100JKAFA#50?
The R5F100JKAFA#50 operates up to 32 MHz using its high-speed on-chip oscillator and achieves 41 DMIPS at that frequency. This performance level is confirmed in the RL78/G13 datasheet (R01DS0131EJ0380 Rev.3.80) and reflects the efficiency of the 3-stage pipeline RL78 core. The R5F100JKAFA#50 maintains this rating across its full 1.6 V to 5.5 V supply range and -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature.
Does the R5F100JKAFA#50 support background operation during data flash rewriting?
Yes, the R5F100JKAFA#50 supports background operation (BGO) for its 8 KB data flash memory. This allows the CPU to execute instructions from program memory while simultaneously rewriting data flash - essential for implementing over-the-air firmware updates or logging without system interruption. The BGO function is hardware-assisted and documented in Section 1.1 Features of the R5F100JKAFA#50 datasheet.
What package type and pin count does the R5F100JKAFA#50 use?
The R5F100JKAFA#50 uses a 52-pin LQFP package with 0.65 mm pitch and dimensions of 10 mm × 10 mm (RENESAS Code PLQP0052JA-A). This package includes an exposed thermal pad and is RoHS-compliant. Pin configuration details, including multi-function assignments like P10/SCK00/SCL00 and P11/SI00/RxD0/TOOLRxD/SDA00, are specified in Section 1.3 of the R5F100JKAFA#50 datasheet.
How much RAM and flash memory does the R5F100JKAFA#50 integrate?
The R5F100JKAFA#50 integrates 256 KB of code flash memory, 8 KB of data flash memory, and 20 KB of on-chip RAM. These values are fixed for this specific part number and align with the "J" flash capacity code (256 KB) and "K" data flash code (8 KB) defined in the RL78/G13 part numbering scheme. The RAM includes dedicated sections reserved for flash library operations, as detailed in the R5F100JKAFA#50 datasheet memory map.
Is the R5F100JKAFA#50 qualified for industrial temperature operation?
Yes, the R5F100JKAFA#50 is qualified for industrial temperature operation from -40°C to +85°C. Its part number suffix "A" denotes the consumer/industrial grade (A/D), and the datasheet explicitly confirms this operating range under "Operating ambient temperature." This makes the R5F100JKAFA#50 suitable for factory automation, building controls, and outdoor metering applications where extended thermal stability is required.
