Product details
Overview
R5F101GAAFB#10 from Renesas is a 48-pin LFQFP-packaged 16-bit RL78/G13 microcontroller with 128 KB flash, 8 KB data flash, and 12 KB RAM, 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 (26 channels), real-time clock, and UART/I²C/CSI interfaces - deployed in battery-powered industrial sensors and smart metering endpoints.
For engineers reviewing the R5F101GAAFB#10 datasheet, R5F101GAAFB#10 pinout, R5F101GAAFB#10 application, or R5F101GAAFB#10 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 48-pin LFQFP-0.5 mm pitch package, absence of on-chip data flash (R5F101x series), -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade ('A' suffix), and support for background data flash rewriting via BGO.
Technical Context
The R5F101GAAFB#10 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, supporting variable instruction execution time (0.03125 μs @ 32 MHz to 30.5 μs @ 32.768 kHz) and 1 MB address space. It integrates dual-clock domain operation: high-speed main system clock (up to 32 MHz) and independent subsystem clock (32.768 kHz) for RTC and LVD monitoring.
Its peripheral set includes eight 16-bit timers, one 12-bit interval timer, one calendar-capable RTC with alarm/correction, 2–4 DMA channels, 16×16-bit multiply/32-bit divide/MAC unit, and three I²C/Simplified I²C channels - all optimized for deterministic real-time control in resource-constrained embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the flash memory configuration of the R5F101GAAFB#10?
The R5F101GAAFB#10 contains 128 KB of on-chip code flash memory organized in 1 KB blocks, with no integrated data flash (R5F101x series designation confirms this). It supports flash shield window and boot swap functions for secure firmware updates. The R5F101GAAFB#10 uses the same flash controller and programming algorithm as other RL78/G13 devices, enabling consistent toolchain usage across the family.
Does the R5F101GAAFB#10 support background data flash rewriting?
No - the R5F101GAAFB#10 does not include on-chip data flash memory, so background rewriting (BGO) is not applicable. BGO is only available on R5F100x series parts (e.g., R5F100GAAFB#10) that integrate 4 KB or more of dedicated data flash. The R5F101GAAFB#10 relies on code flash for all non-volatile storage, with erase/write operations halting CPU execution unless managed via careful state partitioning.
What is the operating temperature range for the R5F101GAAFB#10?
The R5F101GAAFB#10 is rated for industrial operation from -40°C to +85°C, indicated by the 'A' suffix in its part number per Renesas' RL78/G13 ordering convention. This distinguishes it from 'G'-grade variants (e.g., R5F101GAGFB#10) qualified to +105°C. The R5F101GAAFB#10 meets JEDEC JESD47 reliability standards for this temperature range and is suitable for enclosed industrial enclosures and consumer white goods.
Which development tools support the R5F101GAAFB#10?
The R5F101GAAFB#10 is fully supported by Renesas' CS+ IDE, e² studio (with GCC RL78 toolchain), and the E2 emulator Lite. Hardware evaluation is enabled via the YRDKRL78G13 kit, which maps all 48 pins of the R5F101GAAFB#10 to headers and includes onboard debugging, power regulation, and example firmware. The R5F101GAAFB#10 shares the same debug interface (SWD) and memory map as the full RL78/G13 family, ensuring tool compatibility across variants.
How does the R5F101GAAFB#10 achieve ultra-low power consumption?
The R5F101GAAFB#10 achieves 0.57 μA STOP mode current through hardware-optimized power gating: disabling the CPU, flash, and most peripherals while retaining RTC oscillator, LVD comparator, and SRAM retention. Its 66 μA/MHz active current stems from adaptive clock gating, low-leakage process technology, and dynamic voltage scaling. The R5F101GAAFB#10 leverages SNOOZE mode to wake peripherals (e.g., ADC, UART) autonomously without CPU intervention - reducing average system power in duty-cycled applications.
