Product details
Overview
R5F101BFDNA#U0 from Renesas is a 32-pin HWQFN-packaged RL78/G13 16-bit microcontroller with no data flash, 64 KB code flash, 4 KB RAM, and operation from 1.6 V to 5.5 V. It delivers 41 DMIPS at 32 MHz, supports ultra-low-power HALT/STOP/SNOOZE modes (0.57 μA RTC+LVD), and integrates 16-bit timers, 10-bit ADC (26 channels), UART/I²C/CSI interfaces, and real-time clock - used in battery-powered industrial sensors and smart metering endpoints.
For engineers reviewing the R5F101BFDNA#U0 datasheet, R5F101BFDNA#U0 pinout, R5F101BFDNA#U0 application, or R5F101BFDNA#U0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 32-pin HWQFN-0.5mm package, absence of data flash memory, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade (D), and support for background data flash programming via external library - critical for firmware-upgradable embedded control nodes requiring minimal footprint and deterministic low-power operation.
Technical Context
The R5F101BFDNA#U0 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture, 3-stage pipeline, and configurable instruction timing (0.03125 μs @ 32 MHz to 30.5 μs @ 32.768 kHz). It uses a single-supply 1.6–5.5 V rail and includes on-chip power-on reset, voltage detector (14-level LVD), and dedicated low-speed oscillator for watchdog operation.
Its peripheral set includes up to 16× 16-bit timers, one 12-bit interval timer, calendar-based RTC with alarm/correction, 10-bit ADC with internal 1.45 V reference and temperature sensor, and serial interfaces: 2–4 UART/LIN, 3–10 I²C/Simplified I²C, and 2–8 CSI channels - all mapped to 29 programmable I/O pins with N-ch open-drain, TTL input, and pull-up options.

FAQ
What is the flash memory configuration of the R5F101BFDNA#U0?
The R5F101BFDNA#U0 contains 64 KB of code flash memory and 4 KB of RAM, with no data flash memory. This is confirmed by the "101" in the part number, which denotes zero data flash per Renesas RL78/G13 naming convention. The code flash supports block erase (1 KB), security lock, and self-programming with boot swap functionality - enabling secure firmware updates in the R5F101BFDNA#U0.
Does the R5F101BFDNA#U0 support real-time clock functionality?
Yes, the R5F101BFDNA#U0 integrates a full-featured real-time clock (RTC) with calendar support for 99 years, alarm generation, and hardware clock correction. It operates independently in STOP mode with only 0.57 μA current draw when paired with the on-chip LVD, making it suitable for time-stamped logging and scheduled wake-up in battery-powered applications using the R5F101BFDNA#U0.
What package type and pin count does the R5F101BFDNA#U0 use?
The R5F101BFDNA#U0 uses a 32-pin HWQFN package (5 × 5 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with an exposed thermal pad. This is confirmed by the "B" in the part number (32-pin), "NA" suffix (HWQFN), and "#U0" packaging code (tray delivery). The package supports reflow soldering, offers excellent thermal performance, and is compatible with standard 0.5 mm pitch PCB assembly processes for the R5F101BFDNA#U0.
What is the operating temperature range for the R5F101BFDNA#U0?
The R5F101BFDNA#U0 is rated for industrial operation from -40°C to +85°C, indicated by the "D" in its part number. It does not support the extended -40°C to +105°C range (denoted by "G") or consumer-grade -40°C to +85°C with different qualification (denoted by "A"). This makes the R5F101BFDNA#U0 appropriate for enclosed industrial controls, HVAC systems, and other environments where ambient temperatures remain within this validated industrial envelope.
Which communication interfaces are available on the R5F101BFDNA#U0?
The R5F101BFDNA#U0 supports UART/LIN (up to 4 channels), I²C/Simplified I²C (up to 10 channels), and CSI (up to 8 channels), all multiplexed across its 29 general-purpose I/O pins. These interfaces operate across the full 1.6–5.5 V supply range and support clock stretching, multi-master arbitration, and automatic baud rate detection - enabling robust connectivity for sensor networks, human-machine interfaces, and host MCU communication in designs using the R5F101BFDNA#U0.
