Renesas R5F100PGGFA#V0

Overview

R5F100PGGFA#V0 from Renesas is a 100-pin LQFP-0.65mm, industrial-grade RL78/G13 16-bit MCU with 128 KB flash, 8 KB data flash, 12 KB RAM, and true low-power operation (66 μA/MHz active, 0.57 μA RTC+LVD). It integrates 16-bit timers, 10-bit ADC (26 channels), UART/LIN, I²C, CSI, RTC, and operates from 1.6–5.5 V across –40°C to +105°C.

For engineers reviewing the R5F100PGGFA#V0 datasheet, R5F100PGGFA#V0 pinout, R5F100PGGFA#V0 application, or R5F100PGGFA#V0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its industrial temperature rating, integrated LIN support for automotive body electronics, on-chip data flash endurance (1M rewrites), and ultra-low-power STOP/HALT modes for battery-powered sensor nodes and smart actuators.

Technical Context

The R5F100PGGFA#V0 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, supporting instruction execution times from 0.03125 μs (32 MHz HS mode) to 30.5 μs (32.768 kHz subsystem clock). It features dual-clock domains: high-speed main system clock (up to 32 MHz) and independent low-speed subsystem clock for RTC and LVD monitoring.

Its peripheral set includes 16-channel 16-bit timers with input capture/compare, a calendar-mode real-time clock with alarm and correction, and background operation (BGO) for concurrent code execution during data flash rewriting - enabling firmware updates without halting application logic.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F100PGGFA#V0?

The R5F100PGGFA#V0 supports up to 32 MHz operation using the high-speed on-chip oscillator with ±1.0% accuracy across 1.8–5.5 V and –20°C to +85°C. At 32 MHz, it delivers 41 DMIPS performance while maintaining 66 μA/MHz active current consumption - making it suitable for real-time control tasks in resource-constrained designs.

Does the R5F100PGGFA#V0 support LIN communication natively?

Yes, the R5F100PGGFA#V0 supports LIN 2.2 communication through UART0 with hardware-assisted features including sync-break detection, checksum generation/verification, and automatic baud rate adjustment. This eliminates software overhead and ensures deterministic timing for automotive body electronics applications requiring LIN slave functionality.

What is the purpose of the data flash memory in the R5F100PGGFA#V0?

The 8 KB data flash in the R5F100PGGFA#V0 is designed for reliable, high-endurance nonvolatile storage of calibration data, device configuration, usage logs, or firmware update images. With 1,000,000 rewrite cycles and background operation (BGO), it allows the R5F100PGGFA#V0 to update parameters or perform field upgrades without halting application execution.

How does the R5F100PGGFA#V0 achieve ultra-low power consumption?

The R5F100PGGFA#V0 achieves ultra-low power via multiple hardware-optimized modes: HALT (0.23 μA), STOP (0.57 μA with RTC + LVD active), and SNOOZE. Its 3-stage pipeline RL78 core executes instructions efficiently, and the on-chip power management unit dynamically gates clocks to unused peripherals - enabling multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in sensor applications.

Is the R5F100PGGFA#V0 pin-compatible with other RL78/G13 variants in the same package?

Yes, all RL78/G13 devices in the 100-pin LQFP-0.65mm package (e.g., R5F100PFAFA#V0, R5F100PLAFA#V0) share identical pinouts and electrical characteristics. This allows drop-in replacement across memory variants (16–128 KB flash) and data flash options (4–8 KB), simplifying design reuse and BOM rationalization for scalable product families.
