Product details
Overview
R5F101FAAFP#X0 from Renesas is a 44-pin LQFP, 32-bit RL78/G13 microcontroller with 96 KB flash, 8 KB RAM, and no data flash memory, 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), integrated 10-bit ADC (24 channels), RTC, and multiple serial interfaces - deployed in battery-powered industrial sensors and smart metering endpoints.
For engineers reviewing the R5F101FAAFP#X0 datasheet, R5F101FAAFP#X0 pinout, R5F101FAAFP#X0 application, or R5F101FAAFP#X0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 44-pin LQFP-0.8mm package, absence of on-chip data flash, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade (D-grade), and compatibility with Renesas' RL78 IAR/e2 studio toolchain for low-power firmware development.
Technical Context
The R5F101FAAFP#X0 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage CISC pipeline, supporting variable instruction execution time (0.03125 μs @32 MHz to 30.5 μs @32.768 kHz) and 1 MB address space. It integrates a high-accuracy ±1.0% on-chip oscillator (selectable 1–32 MHz), 12-bit interval timer, and real-time clock with calendar/alarm functions.
Peripheral integration includes 2–4 DMA channels, 8–16 × 16-bit timers, UART/LIN-capable serial interfaces (2–4 channels), I²C (3–10 channels), CSI (2–8 channels), and an 8/10-bit ADC with internal 1.45 V reference and temperature sensor - all optimized for deterministic real-time control in resource-constrained embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding DMIPS rating for the R5F101FAAFP#X0?
The R5F101FAAFP#X0 operates at up to 32 MHz with a measured performance of 41 DMIPS. This rating is achieved using the high-speed on-chip oscillator at full speed, and the core maintains deterministic timing across all power modes including HALT and STOP - critical for real-time control loops in the R5F101FAAFP#X0's target applications.
Does the R5F101FAAFP#X0 include on-chip data flash memory?
No, the R5F101FAAFP#X0 does not include data flash memory. As indicated by the "101" prefix in its part number (per Renesas' naming convention), this variant provides only code flash (96 KB) and SRAM (8 KB). Applications requiring non-volatile parameter storage must use external EEPROM or select the "100" series (e.g., R5F100FAAFP#X0) which includes 4 KB data flash.
What package type and pin count does the R5F101FAAFP#X0 use?
The R5F101FAAFP#X0 uses a 44-pin LQFP package (10 × 10 mm, 0.8-mm pitch), identified by the "FP" suffix in Renesas' package coding. The "#X0" suffix confirms embossed tape packaging - suitable for automated SMT assembly. This package provides full I/O access and thermal performance appropriate for industrial ambient temperatures up to +85°C.
Which serial communication interfaces are integrated into the R5F101FAAFP#X0?
The R5F101FAAFP#X0 integrates two UART/LIN modules (supporting LIN 2.2), three I²C interfaces, and two CSI (Simplified SPI) channels. All are independently configurable and share no dedicated pins - enabling concurrent use in multi-peripheral systems such as sensor hubs or communication gateways where the R5F101FAAFP#X0 serves as central coordinator.
What is the operating temperature range and industrial qualification grade for the R5F101FAAFP#X0?
The R5F101FAAFP#X0 is qualified for industrial operation from -40°C to +85°C and carries the "D" grade designation per Renesas' part numbering system. This certification covers full electrical performance, reliability testing, and extended temperature validation - confirming suitability for deployment in factory automation, building controls, and outdoor metering where the R5F101FAAFP#X0 must maintain functionality under thermal stress.
