Product details
Overview
R5F101FJAFP#50 from Renesas is a 44-pin LQFP-44, 32 MHz RL78/G13 16-bit microcontroller with 96 KB flash, 8 KB data flash, 8 KB RAM, and ultra-low-power operation (66 μA/MHz active, 0.57 μA RTC+LVD). It integrates 16-bit timers, 10-bit ADC (24 channels), UART/SPI/I²C interfaces, and real-time clock - deployed in battery-powered industrial sensors and smart metering endpoints.
For engineers reviewing the R5F101FJAFP#50 datasheet, R5F101FJAFP#50 pinout, R5F101FJAFP#50 application, or R5F101FJAFP#50 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 44-pin LQFP package, absence of on-chip data flash (R5F101x series), -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade, and support for SNOOZE mode wake-up via serial interface events.
Technical Context
The R5F101FJAFP#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). Its memory map spans 1 MB address space, with dedicated 96 KB code flash and 8 KB RAM - no data flash (confirmed by "101" prefix per datasheet Section 1.2).
Power management includes HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE modes; voltage detection (LVD) offers 14 selectable levels; and the real-time clock supports calendar (99-year), alarm, and clock correction functions. Peripheral set includes up to 24-channel 10-bit ADC, 8× 16-bit timers, 3× I²C, 2× UART (LIN-capable), and 2× CSI (SPI-compatible) channels.

FAQ
Does R5F101FJAFP#50 include on-chip data flash memory?
No, R5F101FJAFP#50 does not include on-chip data flash memory. The "101" in the part number explicitly denotes absence of data flash per Renesas RL78/G13 datasheet Section 1.2. It provides 96 KB code flash and 8 KB RAM only. For data flash capability, consider R5F100FJAFP#50 (4 KB data flash) or R5F100GJAFP#50 (8 KB data flash).
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding power consumption of R5F101FJAFP#50?
R5F101FJAFP#50 operates up to 32 MHz using the high-speed on-chip oscillator (±1.0% accuracy). At this frequency and 3.3 V supply, active current is 66 μA/MHz - resulting in ~2.1 mA typical active current. In STOP mode with RTC and LVD enabled, it draws just 0.57 μA, verified per datasheet Rev.3.80 Section 1.1.
Which serial communication interfaces are supported by R5F101FJAFP#50?
R5F101FJAFP#50 supports two UART channels (with LIN-bus protocol support), three I²C channels, and two CSI channels (SPI-compatible serial interfaces). All are configurable via dedicated peripheral registers and share I/O pins with GPIO functionality - enabling flexible routing in PCB layout.
Is R5F101FJAFP#50 pin-compatible with other RL78/G13 variants in the same package?
Yes, R5F101FJAFP#50 is pin-compatible with all RL78/G13 devices in the 44-pin LQFP package (e.g., R5F100FJAFP#50, R5F101GJAFP#50), sharing identical pin count, mechanical footprint (PLQP0044GC-A), and I/O mapping. Functional differences (e.g., data flash presence, RAM size) do not affect pin assignment or electrical behavior of shared signals.
What temperature grade does R5F101FJAFP#50 support, and how is it indicated in the part number?
R5F101FJAFP#50 supports the industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C, denoted by the "D" suffix in the full ordering code (e.g., R5F101FJADFP#50). However, the "FJ" variant with "AFP" package uses "A" grade (–40°C to +85°C consumer/industrial) per Table 1-1 - confirmed by Renesas documentation listing R5F101FJAFP#50 under "A" field-of-application column.
