Renesas R5F1017CANA#60

Overview

R5F1017CANA#60 from Renesas is a 24-pin RL78/G13 16-bit microcontroller with 16 KB flash memory, 2 KB RAM, and no data flash, designed for ultra-low-power embedded control in consumer-grade applications (−40°C to +85°C). It features a 32 MHz RL78 CPU core delivering 41 DMIPS, 66 μA/MHz active current, 0.57 μA RTC+LVD standby, 10-bit ADC (6 channels), and integrated peripherals including UART, I²C, CSI, 16-bit timers, and real-time clock.

For engineers reviewing the R5F1017CANA#60 datasheet, R5F1017CANA#60 pinout, R5F1017CANA#60 application, or R5F1017CANA#60 equivalent, key selection criteria include its HWQFN-24 package, absence of data flash, A-grade temperature rating, and suitability for battery-powered sensor nodes, smart home controls, and low-cost industrial monitoring where code size ≤16 KB and minimal non-volatile data logging are sufficient.

Technical Context

The R5F1017CANA#60 implements the RL78 CISC CPU core with 3-stage pipeline and configurable instruction timing (0.03125 μs min @ 32 MHz). It operates from a single 1.6–5.5 V supply and supports multiple low-power modes-HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE-with dedicated low-speed oscillator for RTC/LVD operation at 0.57 μA.

Peripherals include up to 2 UART channels (one supporting LIN-bus), 3–10 I²C/Simplified I²C interfaces, 2–8 CSI channels, 8–16 16-bit timers, 12-bit interval timer, calendar-based RTC with alarm/correction, and 8/10-bit ADC with internal 1.45 V reference and temperature sensor-enabled only in HS mode.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency and performance of the R5F1017CANA#60?

The R5F1017CANA#60 operates at up to 32 MHz using its high-speed on-chip oscillator, delivering 41 DMIPS of processing performance. Its RL78 CPU core achieves a minimum instruction execution time of 0.03125 μs at 32 MHz, and supports configurable clock scaling down to 32.768 kHz for ultra-low-power RTC operation. This makes the R5F1017CANA#60 suitable for both responsive real-time control and extended battery-life applications.

Does the R5F1017CANA#60 include data flash memory?

No, the R5F1017CANA#60 does not include data flash memory. As indicated by the "101" prefix in its part number (per Renesas RL78/G13 naming convention), it provides 16 KB of code flash and 2 KB of RAM but omits the 4 KB data flash found in "100"-series variants like R5F1007CANA#60. Applications requiring non-volatile parameter storage must use external EEPROM or select a data-flash-equipped variant.

What package type and pin count does the R5F1017CANA#60 use?

The R5F1017CANA#60 uses a 24-pin HWQFN package (4 mm × 4 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with an exposed thermal pad, designated by the "NA" suffix and "#60" tray packaging code. This compact, thermally efficient package supports high-density PCB layouts and is compatible with standard reflow soldering processes used in automated manufacturing.

What are the supported low-power modes on the R5F1017CANA#60?

The R5F1017CANA#60 supports HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE low-power modes. In STOP mode with only RTC and LVD active, it draws just 0.57 μA - enabling multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries. HALT mode reduces current to ~1.2 μA with CPU halted but peripherals active, while SNOOZE enables background ADC or serial operation during low-power sleep, balancing responsiveness and energy efficiency.

Can the R5F1017CANA#60 operate from a single 3.3 V supply, and what I/O voltage levels does it support?

Yes, the R5F1017CANA#60 operates from a single 1.6 V to 5.5 V supply, making it fully compatible with standard 3.3 V systems. Its I/O ports support different-potential interfacing - meaning they can safely connect directly to 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.0 V peripherals without external level shifters - simplifying mixed-voltage system design and reducing component count in sensor and communication subsystems.
