Product details
Overview
R5F101AEASP#X0 from Renesas is a 40-pin LSSOP-packaged RL78/G13 16-bit microcontroller with 64 KB flash, 4 KB data flash, 3 KB RAM, and true low-power operation (66 μA/MHz active, 0.57 μA RTC+LVD mode) for battery-powered industrial sensors and metering systems.
For engineers reviewing the R5F101AEASP#X0 datasheet, R5F101AEASP#X0 pinout, R5F101AEASP#X0 application, or R5F101AEASP#X0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.6–5.5 V supply range, integrated 10-bit ADC (26 channels), real-time clock with calendar/alarm, and support for LIN-bus UART communication in compact LSSOP packaging.
Technical Context
The R5F101AEASP#X0 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, supporting instruction execution times from 0.03125 μs (@32 MHz high-speed oscillator) to 30.5 μs (@32.768 kHz subsystem clock). It integrates DMA (2 channels), multiplier/divider/MAC units, and background data flash rewriting (BGO).
Its peripheral set includes up to 16× 16-bit timers, 1× 12-bit interval timer, 1× real-time clock with calendar and correction, 1× watchdog timer, and serial interfaces: CSI (SPI-like, up to 8 ch), UART/LIN (up to 4 ch), and I²C (up to 10 ch), all configurable via on-chip SFRs without external components.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F100AEASP#X0 | Same package and pinout; includes 4 KB data flash (identical), but adds 8 KB code flash (72 KB total vs. 64 KB) | Higher code density supports larger protocol stacks (e.g., full BLE host stack) or dual-application firmware images | Select when additional flash headroom is needed for field-upgradable features without PCB change |
| RL78/G14 R5F104BAASP#X0 | Same LSSOP-40 package; adds 32-bit multiply/divide unit, enhanced DMA (4 ch), and 16 KB RAM - but requires 2.7–5.5 V supply | Required for computationally intensive tasks like FFT-based vibration analysis or real-time PID tuning with floating-point math | Choose when algorithm complexity exceeds RL78/G13 capabilities and higher VDD minimum is acceptable |
Compared with R5F100AEASP#X0, the R5F101AEASP#X0 trades 8 KB flash for lower cost and identical low-power profile; versus RL78/G14, it delivers better sub-2V operation and smaller memory footprint at the expense of advanced compute features.

Does the R5F101AEASP#X0 include an integrated temperature sensor?
Yes, the R5F101AEASP#X0 includes an on-chip temperature sensor usable with the 10-bit ADC. It is selectable only in HS (high-speed main) mode and provides calibrated readings referenced to the internal 1.45 V bandgap voltage, enabling ambient temperature monitoring without external components.
Can the R5F101AEASP#X0 operate from a 1.8 V supply?
Yes, the R5F101AEASP#X0 operates across 1.6 V to 5.5 V, making it fully functional at 1.8 V. At this voltage, it maintains full peripheral operation including ADC, UART, timers, and flash programming - critical for single-cell Li-ion or NiMH battery systems.
How many analog input channels does the R5F101AEASP#X0 support?
The R5F101AEASP#X0 supports up to 26 analog input channels for its 10-bit ADC. These include dedicated ANI0–ANI2 pins plus multiplexed port pins; the exact count depends on package variant - the 40-pin LSSOP version (R5F101AEASP#X0) implements 26 channels as confirmed in the RL78/G13 datasheet Section 1.1.
Is data flash rewriting possible while executing code from main flash on the R5F101AEASP#X0?
Yes, the R5F101AEASP#X0 supports background operation (BGO) for data flash rewriting.
