Product details
Overview
R5F101ECANA#20 from Renesas is a 40-pin HWQFN-packaged 16-bit RL78/G13 microcontroller with 64 KB flash, 4 KB data flash, and 2 KB RAM, operating from 1.6 V to 5.5 V at up to 32 MHz (41 DMIPS), featuring ultra-low-power HALT/STOP/SNOOZE modes (0.57 μA RTC+LVD), 10-bit ADC (26 channels), and integrated real-time clock - deployed in battery-powered industrial sensors and smart metering endpoints.
For engineers reviewing the R5F101ECANA#20 datasheet, R5F101ECANA#20 pinout, R5F101ECANA#20 application, or R5F101ECANA#20 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40-pin HWQFN-0.5 mm pitch package, absence of on-chip data flash (R5F101x series), -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade (D suffix), and support for CSI, UART/LIN, and I²C serial interfaces in resource-constrained embedded control designs.
Technical Context
The R5F101ECANA#20 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, supporting instruction execution times from 0.03125 μs (32 MHz high-speed mode) to 30.5 μs (32.768 kHz subsystem clock). It integrates a 12-bit interval timer, calendar-capable RTC with alarm and correction, and watchdog timer powered by dedicated low-speed oscillator.
Its peripheral set includes up to 26-channel 10-bit A/D converter with internal 1.45 V reference and temperature sensor, 16-bit timers (12 channels), DMA controller (2 channels), multiplier/divider/MAC unit, and three serial interface types: CSI (SPI-compatible), UART/LIN, and I²C - all configurable without external components for minimal BOM cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding performance of the R5F101ECANA#20?
The R5F101ECANA#20 operates at up to 32 MHz using its high-speed on-chip oscillator, delivering 41 DMIPS of processing performance. Its minimum instruction execution time is 0.03125 μs under this condition, enabling responsive real-time control in motor drives and sensor acquisition systems. The R5F101ECANA#20 maintains full peripheral functionality across its entire 1.6–5.5 V supply range.
Does the R5F101ECANA#20 include on-chip data flash memory?
No, the R5F101ECANA#20 does not include on-chip data flash memory. As indicated by the "101" prefix in its part number per Renesas documentation, it belongs to the data-flash-less variant of the RL78/G13 family. It retains 64 KB of code flash and 2 KB of RAM, but users must implement EEPROM emulation in code flash or add external non-volatile memory if parameter storage is required. This distinguishes the R5F101ECANA#20 from the R5F100ECANA#20, which includes 4 KB of data flash.
What package type and pin count does the R5F101ECANA#20 use?
The R5F101ECANA#20 uses a 40-pin HWQFN package measuring 6 × 6 mm with 0.5-mm pitch, designated by the "ANA" suffix and #20 packaging code. This thermally enhanced, space-efficient package supports automated assembly and provides adequate I/O count for mid-complexity control applications. Pin configuration matches other 40-pin RL78/G13 variants, ensuring layout compatibility across the family.
What is the operating temperature range specified for the R5F101ECANA#20?
The R5F101ECANA#20 is rated for industrial operation from -40°C to +85°C, denoted by the "D" suffix in its full ordering code. This qualification meets JEDEC JESD22-A104 reliability standards and supports deployment in factory automation, outdoor metering, and HVAC equipment where ambient conditions exceed commercial-grade limits. It does not support the extended -40°C to +105°C range offered by "G"-suffix variants.
Which serial communication interfaces are supported by the R5F101ECANA#20?
The R5F101ECANA#20 supports three serial interface types: CSI (SPI-compatible, up to 8 channels), UART/LIN (up to 4 channels with LIN 2.2 compliance), and I²C/Simplified I²C (up to 10 channels). These are implemented in hardware with independent clock sources and FIFO buffers, allowing concurrent operation - for example, CSI for sensor readout, UART for host communication, and I²C for display or EEPROM control - without CPU intervention.
