Product details
Overview
R5F101FFAFP#50 from Renesas is a 44-pin LQFP-44, 32 MHz RL78/G13 16-bit microcontroller with 96 KB flash, 8 KB RAM, no data flash, and industrial-grade operation (−40°C to +85°C). It integrates 16-bit timer arrays, 10-bit ADC (12 channels), UART/SPI/I²C interfaces, RTC, and ultra-low-power modes (0.57 μA in STOP with RTC+LVD) for battery-powered sensor nodes and motor control.
For engineers reviewing the R5F101FFAFP#50 datasheet, R5F101FFAFP#50 pinout, R5F101FFAFP#50 application, or R5F101FFAFP#50 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 96 KB code flash / zero data flash configuration, LQFP-44 package with 32 MHz max CPU clock, integrated RTC and 12-channel 10-bit ADC, and support for SNOOZE mode DMA transfers - all critical for cost-sensitive industrial control and smart appliance designs.
Technical Context
The R5F101FFAFP#50 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 features dual-voltage I/O (1.8/2.5/3.0 V interface compatibility) and on-chip BCD correction for metering applications.
Its power management includes hardware HALT/STOP/SNOOZE modes, on-chip POR and 14-level LVD, and background data flash programming capability - though this part omits data flash memory entirely per its "101" family designation. The 2-channel DMA controller enables low-CPU-load peripheral-to-RAM transfers using only 2 clocks per 8/16-bit SFR access.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F100FFAFP#50 | Same 96 KB flash, 8 KB RAM, LQFP-44 package, but includes 4 KB data flash and supports background rewriting. | Preferred where field firmware updates or parameter storage require nonvolatile data retention between power cycles. | Select R5F100FFAFP#50 if data logging or secure boot key storage is required; otherwise R5F101FFAFP#50 reduces cost and complexity. |
| STM32F042F6P6 | ARM Cortex-M0+, 32 KB flash, 6 KB RAM, 48-pin TSSOP; lacks integrated RTC calendar and ultra-low-power STOP mode (1.8 μA typical). | Better suited for USB-enabled human interface devices than long-life battery applications. | Choose STM32F042F6P6 only when ARM toolchain alignment or USB device functionality outweighs power and RTC advantages of R5F101FFAFP#50. |
Compared with R5F100FFAFP#50, the R5F101FFAFP#50 trades data flash persistence for lower cost and reduced firmware overhead; versus STM32F042F6P6, it delivers 3× lower STOP current and hardware calendar RTC - making it superior for decade-life sensor nodes and time-aware industrial controllers.

FAQ
Does R5F101FFAFP#50 include data flash memory?
No, R5F101FFAFP#50 does not include data flash memory. Its "101" family designation explicitly indicates zero data flash capacity, unlike "100" variants (e.g., R5F100FFAFP#50) which integrate 4 KB. This omission reduces cost and simplifies firmware design where parameter storage is handled externally or via code flash emulation.
What is the maximum operating frequency of R5F101FFAFP#50?
The R5F101FFAFP#50 operates at up to 32 MHz using its high-accuracy on-chip oscillator, which maintains ±1.0% tolerance across 1.8–5.5 V supply and −20 to +85°C ambient. External crystals are optional and used only when tighter timing stability is required beyond on-chip oscillator specs.
Which package type does R5F101FFAFP#50 use?
R5F101FFAFP#50 uses a 44-pin LQFP package (PLQP0044GC-A), measuring 10 × 10 mm with 0.8 mm lead pitch. It is RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and qualified for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
Can R5F101FFAFP#50 operate from a 1.8 V supply?
Yes, R5F101FFAFP#50 supports 1.6 V to 5.5 V single-supply operation. At 1.8 V, it achieves up to 16 MHz CPU speed (per datasheet DC characteristics), enabling ultra-low-voltage battery operation while maintaining full peripheral functionality including ADC and timers.
How many analog input channels does R5F101FFAFP#50 support?
R5F101FFAFP#50 supports 12 analog input channels for its 10-bit ADC. These map to dedicated ANI0–ANI11 pins and include AVREFP/AVREFM for flexible reference configuration - sufficient for simultaneous monitoring of voltage, current, temperature, and auxiliary sensors in motor control systems.
