FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency and performance rating of the R5F100PGDFA#X0?

The R5F100PGDFA#X0 operates at up to 32 MHz and delivers 41 DMIPS of processing performance. This benchmark reflects its RL78 CPU core efficiency in executing real-time control tasks such as motor commutation, sensor fusion, and communication protocol stacks under typical industrial conditions.

Does the R5F100PGDFA#X0 support LIN bus communication natively?

Yes, the R5F100PGDFA#X0 supports LIN 2.2 protocol through its UART peripheral with dedicated break detection, sync field generation, and checksum calculation. No external LIN transceiver is required for basic slave-node functionality, reducing system cost and board area.

What are the ultra-low-power consumption figures for the R5F100PGDFA#X0 in STOP mode?

In STOP mode with only RTC and LVD active, the R5F100PGDFA#X0 consumes 0.57 μA at 3.3 V and 25°C. This value is validated across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and enables decade-long operation on standard CR2032 batteries in metering and sensor applications.

How much data flash memory does the R5F100PGDFA#X0 include, and what is its endurance?

The R5F100PGDFA#X0 includes 8 KB of data flash memory rated for 1,000,000 write/erase cycles at VDD = 1.8–5.5 V. It supports background operation (BGO), allowing program execution from main flash while concurrently rewriting data flash for logging or configuration updates.

What package type and pin count does the R5F100PGDFA#X0 use?

The R5F100PGDFA#X0 uses a 100-pin plastic LQFP package with 0.65-mm pitch (14 × 20 mm body). This package is optimized for industrial PCB assembly, provides robust thermal performance, and supports full GPIO access including all 26 ADC channels and multiple serial interfaces.

Is an external crystal required for accurate timing on the R5F100PGDFA#X0?

No, the R5F100PGDFA#X0 features a high-accuracy on-chip oscillator with ±1.0% tolerance across 1.8–5.5 V and –20 to +85°C. This eliminates the need for external crystals in most applications, reducing BOM cost and board space-though external crystals remain supported for higher precision requirements.
