Product details
Overview
R5F101FGAFP#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 (12 channels), 10-bit ADC (16 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 R5F101FGAFP#50 datasheet, R5F101FGAFP#50 pinout, R5F101FGAFP#50 application, or R5F101FGAFP#50 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 44-pin LQFP package, absence of on-chip data flash, −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating, 96 KB code flash size, and support for SNOOZE mode with background data flash programming capability in compatible variants.
Technical Context
The R5F101FGAFP#50 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline, supporting instruction execution times from 0.03125 μs (32 MHz high-speed mode) to 30.5 μs (32.768 kHz subsystem clock). Its memory map includes 1 MB address space, with dedicated SFR regions for peripheral control and 96 KB of code flash organized in 1 KB blocks.
Peripheral integration includes dual UART channels (one LIN-capable), up to 10 I²C/Simplified I²C channels, 2–8 CSI (SPI-compatible) channels, 12-channel 16-bit timer array, and a calendar-mode real-time clock with alarm and auto-correction-enabling time-stamped event logging without external components.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F100FGAFP#50 | Includes 4 KB data flash; otherwise identical flash/RAM/peripherals/package. | Required for applications needing non-volatile parameter storage (e.g., calibration data, device ID) without external EEPROM. | Select R5F100FGAFP#50 if data flash is needed; R5F101FGAFP#50 reduces cost where parameters are stored externally or are static. |
| R5F101LCAFA#50 | 64-pin LQFP, 128 KB flash, 12 KB RAM, same peripheral set and power specs. | Suitable for designs requiring more GPIO (up to 52), additional UART/I²C channels, or larger firmware image. | Choose R5F101LCAFA#50 when scaling I/O count or firmware complexity; R5F101FGAFP#50 optimizes cost and board area for 44-pin constrained layouts. |
Compared with R5F100FGAFP#50, the R5F101FGAFP#50 removes data flash to reduce cost and die size while retaining identical code flash, RAM, peripherals, and low-power performance-making it optimal for fixed-parameter firmware. Against R5F101LCAFA#50, it trades pin count and memory headroom for smaller footprint and lower component count in space-constrained industrial controls.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F101FGAFP#50?
The R5F101FGAFP#50 operates at up to 32 MHz using its high-accuracy on-chip oscillator. This frequency is achievable across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and supply voltage (1.6–5.5 V), with ±1.0% accuracy-eliminating the need for an external crystal in most applications. The R5F101FGAFP#50 supports clock division and subsystem clocks down to 32.768 kHz for ultra-low-power RTC operation.
Does the R5F101FGAFP#50 include on-chip data flash memory?
No, the R5F101FGAFP#50 does not include on-chip data flash memory. Per Renesas part numbering convention, the "1" in the third digit (R5F101FG...) indicates absence of data flash. This variant provides 96 KB of code flash and 8 KB of RAM only. For designs requiring non-volatile parameter storage, the pin-compatible R5F100FGAFP#50 (with 4 KB data flash) or external EEPROM should be considered.
What debug interface does the R5F101FGAFP#50 support?
The R5F101FGAFP#50 supports single-wire debug (SWD) via the TOOLRxD (Pin 11) and TOOLTxD (Pin 12) pins, which share functions with UART0 and I²C. This eliminates the need for a dedicated debug header and allows full programming, breakpoint setting, and memory inspection using standard Renesas E2 studio and E2 emulator tools. No JTAG pins are required.
Can the R5F101FGAFP#50 drive a 16-segment display directly?
Yes, the R5F101FGAFP#50 can drive multiplexed 16-segment displays directly using its GPIO ports and on-chip clock output/buzzer controller. With up to 36 general-purpose I/O pins (including N-ch open-drain capable of 6 V tolerance), it supports common-anode or common-cathode configurations. The built-in 16-bit interval timer and PWM functionality simplify timing-critical display refresh cycles without CPU overhead.
What is the minimum supply voltage for the R5F101FGAFP#50?
The R5F101FGAFP#50 operates down to 1.6 V, enabling compatibility with single-cell Li-ion (2.5–4.2 V), NiMH (1.2 V × 2), or coin-cell (3 V) power sources when paired with appropriate regulators. At 1.6 V, the maximum clock frequency is reduced per datasheet specifications, but ultra-low-power STOP mode (0.57 μA) remains fully functional with RTC and LVD enabled-critical for energy-harvesting and battery-backed applications.
