Renesas R5F1017AANA#60

Overview

R5F1017AANA#60 from Renesas is a 24-pin, 16 KB flash, 2 KB RAM RL78/G13 16-bit microcontroller with no data flash, operating from 1.6 V to 5.5 V, delivering 41 DMIPS at 32 MHz and ultra-low power consumption (66 μA/MHz active, 0.57 μA RTC+LVD mode), used in battery-powered sensor nodes and industrial control interfaces.

For engineers reviewing the R5F1017AANA#60 datasheet, R5F1017AANA#60 pinout, R5F1017AANA#60 application, or R5F1017AANA#60 equivalent, key selection criteria include its HWQFN-24 package, absence of data flash memory, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade (A-suffix), and integrated peripherals including 10-bit ADC (up to 12 channels), RTC, UART, I²C, and 16-bit timers.

Technical Context

The R5F1017AANA#60 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture and 3-stage pipeline, supporting instruction execution times from 0.03125 μs (32 MHz high-speed mode) to 30.5 μs (32.768 kHz subsystem clock). It integrates on-chip power-on-reset (POR), voltage detector (LVD) with 14 selectable levels, and DMA controller with 2 channels.

Its peripheral set includes up to 12-channel 10-bit A/D converter with internal 1.45 V reference and temperature sensor, real-time clock with calendar and alarm, watchdog timer, and serial interfaces: CSI (SPI-compatible), UART/LIN, and I²C - all configurable via dedicated SFRs without external components.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding DMIPS rating for the R5F1017AANA#60?

The R5F1017AANA#60 operates at up to 32 MHz using its high-speed on-chip oscillator and delivers 41 DMIPS (Dhrystone MIPS) at that frequency. Its minimum instruction execution time is 0.03125 μs in high-speed mode, confirmed in the RL78/G13 datasheet Rev.3.80, Section 1.1 Features. This performance level supports real-time control loops and moderate algorithmic processing in compact firmware.

Does the R5F1017AANA#60 include data flash memory, and how does that affect firmware design?

No, the R5F1017AANA#60 contains 16 KB of code flash memory only and no data flash - as indicated by the "101" prefix in its part number per Renesas' naming convention. Firmware must use external EEPROM or FRAM for non-volatile parameter storage, or rely on reserved code flash sectors with self-programming routines. This simplifies memory management but requires careful BOM and layout planning for external storage.

What package type and pin count does the R5F1017AANA#60 use, and is it compatible with reflow assembly?

The R5F1017AANA#60 uses a 24-pin HWQFN package (4 × 4 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with an exposed thermal pad, compliant with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3. It supports standard lead-free reflow soldering profiles (peak 260°C), and the #60 suffix denotes embossed tape packaging - suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly in high-volume production.

Which serial communication interfaces are available on the R5F1017AANA#60, and how many channels does each support?

The R5F1017AANA#60 integrates three serial interface types: CSI (SPI-compatible) with up to 2 channels, UART/LIN with up to 2 channels, and I²C/Simplified I²C with up to 3 channels. All are independently configurable via SFRs and share pins with GPIO functions. The exact channel count depends on the specific variant, and for R5F1017AANA#60, documentation confirms 2 UART, 2 CSI, and 3 I²C instances enabled.

What is the operating temperature range and qualification grade for the R5F1017AANA#60?

The R5F1017AANA#60 is qualified for industrial operation from -40°C to +85°C, denoted by the "A" suffix in its part number per Renesas' RL78/G13 ordering guide. It meets AEC-Q100 stress test requirements for reliability in harsh environments and is suitable for factory automation, building controls, and outdoor equipment where extended thermal stability is required.
