Product details
Overview
R5F101ACASP#V0 from Renesas is a 16-bit RL78/G13 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, and integrated peripherals including 10-bit ADC (6 channels), UART, I²C, SPI, RTC, and 16-bit timers - deployed in smart home sensors and battery-powered IoT edge nodes.
For engineers reviewing the R5F101ACASP#V0 datasheet, R5F101ACASP#V0 pinout, R5F101ACASP#V0 application, or R5F101ACASP#V0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its LSSOP-30 package, absence of data flash, 30-pin I/O count, low-voltage operation (1.6–5.5 V), and support for HALT/STOP/SNOOZE power modes - critical for energy-constrained designs requiring long battery life and rapid wake-up response.
Technical Context
The R5F101ACASP#V0 implements the RL78 CISC CPU core with 3-stage pipeline and configurable instruction timing (0.03125 μs @ 32 MHz to 30.5 μs @ 32.768 kHz), enabling dynamic performance scaling across sensor polling, real-time control, and sleep-state monitoring. Its memory subsystem includes 16 KB on-chip code flash (1 KB block size) with self-programming and boot-swap capability, plus 2 KB SRAM - optimized for deterministic interrupt latency and compact firmware deployment.
Peripheral integration centers on mixed-signal control: a 10-bit A/D converter with internal 1.45 V reference and temperature sensor, dual serial interfaces (UART + I²C), real-time clock with calendar/alarm, and 8-channel 16-bit timer array supporting PWM, input capture, and interval timing - all operating under single-supply 1.6–5.5 V with on-chip POR and 14-level LVD.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F101ACASP#V0?
The R5F101ACASP#V0 supports a maximum CPU clock frequency of 32 MHz using the high-speed on-chip oscillator. At this speed, it achieves 41 DMIPS performance with a minimum instruction execution time of 0.03125 μs. The oscillator accuracy is ±1.0% across –20°C to +85°C and 1.8–5.5 V supply, eliminating need for external crystals in many timing-critical applications. This specification is confirmed in the R01DS0131EJ0380 datasheet Section 1.1.
Does the R5F101ACASP#V0 include data flash memory?
No, the R5F101ACASP#V0 does not include data flash memory. Per the RL78/G13 datasheet Table on Page 2 and Figure 1-1, the "101" prefix explicitly denotes devices without data flash. This variant provides 16 KB code flash and 2 KB RAM only. For designs requiring non-volatile parameter storage, the pin-compatible R5F100ACASP#V0 (with 4 KB data flash) is the direct alternative - both share identical package, pinout, and peripheral configuration.
What package type and pin count does the R5F101ACASP#V0 use?
The R5F101ACASP#V0 uses a 30-pin plastic LSSOP package (7.62 mm body width, 0.65-mm lead pitch), as indicated by the "ASP" suffix and confirmed in Table 1-1 (Page 5) of the R01DS0131EJ0380 datasheet. This surface-mount package supports automated assembly and offers thermal and electrical characteristics suitable for consumer-grade applications operating from –40°C to +85°C.
Can the R5F101ACASP#V0 operate from a 1.8 V supply?
Yes, the R5F101ACASP#V0 operates across a 1.6 V to 5.5 V supply range, fully supporting 1.8 V operation. This enables direct interfacing with low-voltage sensors, energy-harvesting circuits, and single-cell lithium batteries. All specified peripherals - including the 10-bit ADC, UART, and RTC - remain functional at 1.8 V, with timing parameters adjusted per the Electrical Characteristics table in the datasheet.
What debug interface is supported by the R5F101ACASP#V0?
The R5F101ACASP#V0 supports on-chip debugging via the single-wire debug (SWD)-compatible interface using the TOOLRxD pin (P11), as documented in Section 1.1 Features and the Pin Configuration diagram. This allows full breakpoint, step-through, and memory inspection capabilities using Renesas E2 studio and compatible debug probes - without requiring additional debug headers or dedicated JTAG pins.
