Product details
Overview
R5F101EFANA#20 from Renesas is a 40-pin HWQFN-packaged 16-bit RL78/G13 microcontroller with 64 KB flash, 4 KB data flash, and 4 KB RAM, operating from 1.6 V to 5.5 V. It delivers 41 DMIPS at 32 MHz, supports ultra-low-power modes (0.57 μA in RTC+LVD mode), and integrates 10-bit ADC (26 channels), RTC, UART, I²C, SPI, and 16-bit timers for embedded control in battery-powered industrial sensors and smart home nodes.
For engineers reviewing the R5F101EFANA#20 datasheet, R5F101EFANA#20 pinout, R5F101EFANA#20 application, or R5F101EFANA#20 equivalent, key selection criteria include its no-data-flash configuration, 40-pin 6×6 mm HWQFN-0.5mm-pitch package, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade (D), and support for background data flash rewriting and on-chip debug.
Technical Context
The R5F101EFANA#20 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture and 3-stage pipeline, enabling instruction execution times from 0.03125 μs (32 MHz high-speed mode) to 30.5 μs (32.768 kHz ultra-low-speed mode). Its memory subsystem includes 64 KB code flash with 1 KB block erase and 4 KB data flash supporting background operation (BGO) and 1 million write cycles.
Power management includes HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE low-power modes, on-chip POR and LVD (14-level selectable), and a high-accuracy ±1.0% on-chip oscillator (32 MHz max). Peripheral integration covers up to 26-channel 10-bit ADC with internal 1.45 V reference and temperature sensor, real-time clock with calendar/alarm, and multiple serial interfaces including UART (LIN-capable), I²C, and CSI (SPI-compatible).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F100EFANA#20 | Includes 4 KB data flash; otherwise identical flash/RAM/peripheral set and pinout | Required where field firmware updates or parameter storage are needed | Select R5F100EFANA#20 when non-volatile parameter retention or OTA update capability is mandatory |
| RL78/G14 R5F111EFANA#20 | Enhanced RL78/G14 core: higher 48 DMIPS, 128 KB flash, added CAN interface and more timers | Suitable for CAN-based industrial networks or designs needing >64 KB code space | Choose RL78/G14 only if CAN, larger memory, or higher performance justifies cost and footprint increase |
Compared with R5F100EFANA#20, the R5F101EFANA#20 reduces BOM cost by omitting data flash while retaining full peripheral functionality; versus RL78/G14, it offers proven maturity and lower power in resource-constrained designs without CAN.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding DMIPS rating for the R5F101EFANA#20?
The R5F101EFANA#20 operates at up to 32 MHz using its high-speed on-chip oscillator and achieves 41 DMIPS (Dhrystone MIPS) at that frequency. This performance level is confirmed in the RL78/G13 datasheet (R01DS0131EJ0380 Rev.3.80) and reflects its optimized 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture. The R5F101EFANA#20 maintains this rating across its full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
Does the R5F101EFANA#20 include data flash memory, and what are its endurance specifications?
No, the R5F101EFANA#20 does not include data flash memory-this is indicated by the "101" prefix in its part number (per Figure 1-1 of R01DS0131EJ0380). In contrast, "100" variants like R5F100EFANA#20 include 4 KB data flash rated for 1,000,000 write cycles. The R5F101EFANA#20 retains full code flash (64 KB) and RAM (4 KB) functionality but omits data flash to reduce cost and die size.
What package type and pin count does the R5F101EFANA#20 use, and what does the "#20" suffix indicate?
The R5F101EFANA#20 uses a 40-pin HWQFN package (6 × 6 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), as confirmed in Table 1-1 (Page 6) of the RL78/G13 datasheet. The "#20" suffix denotes embossed tape packaging for automated SMT placement-a standard carrier format for high-volume manufacturing. This differs from "#U0" (tray) or "#00" (alternate tape variant), all specifying the same physical device.
Which low-power modes are supported by the R5F101EFANA#20, and what is its lowest achievable current consumption?
The R5F101EFANA#20 supports HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE modes. Its lowest guaranteed current is 0.57 μA in STOP mode with only the real-time clock (RTC) and low-voltage detector (LVD) enabled-verified across -40°C to +85°C. This value is specified in the datasheet's "Ultra-low power consumption technology" section and enables multi-year operation on primary lithium cells in always-on sensing applications.
Can the R5F101EFANA#20 execute code while rewriting its flash memory, and what debug interface does it support?
The R5F101EFANA#20 supports background operation (BGO) only for data flash-not applicable here since it lacks data flash. However, its code flash supports self-programming with boot swap and flash shield window functions via on-chip debug. Debug is performed through dedicated TOOLRxD/TOOLTxD pins using Renesas' E2 emulator or compatible tools, eliminating need for external JTAG hardware.
