Does the R5F100LCAFA#X0 include an integrated temperature sensor, and what is its accuracy?
Yes, the R5F100LCAFA#X0 includes a factory-calibrated on-chip temperature sensor with ±2°C accuracy over the full -40°C to +85°C operating range. It is accessible via the ADC and requires no external components, enabling thermal monitoring in applications like battery management, motor control, and environmental sensing.
How much data flash memory does the R5F100LCAFA#X0 provide, and what is its endurance specification?
The R5F100LCAFA#X0 provides 8 KB of dedicated data flash memory, rated for 1,000,000 write/erase cycles (typical). It supports background operation (BGO), allowing program execution from main flash while data flash is being rewritten - essential for reliable firmware updates and parameter storage in field-deployed devices.
What low-power modes are supported by the R5F100LCAFA#X0, and what is the lowest achievable current draw?
The R5F100LCAFA#X0 supports HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE modes. In STOP mode with only RTC and LVD active, it draws just 0.57 μA - enabling decade-long battery life in applications like utility meters and remote sensors where periodic wake-up and minimal background functionality are required.
Is the R5F100LCAFA#X0 pin-compatible with other RL78/G13 variants in the same 64-pin LQFP package?
Yes, all RL78/G13 devices in the 64-pin LQFP-0.65mm package (e.g., R5F100LDAFA#X0, R5F100LEAFA#X0, R5F100LLAFA#X0) share identical pinouts and electrical characteristics.
