Product details
Overview
R5F101GADFB#X0 from Renesas is a 48-pin LFQFP-packaged 16-bit RL78/G13 microcontroller with 128 KB flash, 8 KB RAM, and no data flash memory, operating from 1.6 V to 5.5 V across -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. It delivers 41 DMIPS at 32 MHz, integrates 16-bit timers (12 channels), 10-bit ADC (26 channels), RTC, UART/SPI/I²C interfaces, and ultra-low-power HALT/STOP/SNOOZE modes - deployed in battery-powered sensor nodes and industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the R5F101GADFB#X0 datasheet, R5F101GADFB#X0 pinout, R5F101GADFB#X0 application, or R5F101GADFB#X0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 48-pin LFQFP-0.5 mm pitch package, absence of on-chip data flash, industrial-grade temperature rating, and support for background data flash programming via external library (not integrated).
Technical Context
The R5F101GADFB#X0 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, enabling instruction execution times from 0.03125 μs (32 MHz high-speed mode) to 30.5 μs (32.768 kHz low-speed mode). Its memory map spans 1 MB address space, with 128 KB code flash organized in 1 KB blocks and 8 KB SRAM.
Power management includes on-chip POR and LVD with 14 selectable voltage detection levels, DMA controller (4 channels), and real-time clock with calendar, alarm, and clock correction functions. Peripheral integration covers 16-bit timer arrays, 10-bit ADC with internal 1.45 V reference and temperature sensor, and multiple serial interfaces including CSI (SPI-compatible), UART/LIN, and I²C.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding performance of the R5F101GADFB#X0?
The R5F101GADFB#X0 operates up to 32 MHz, delivering 41 DMIPS of processing performance. Its RL78 CPU core supports dynamic clock switching between 1 MHz and 32 MHz using the on-chip high-accuracy oscillator (±1.0% tolerance), enabling optimized trade-offs between speed and power consumption in real-time applications. This performance level is verified under standard industrial conditions (VDD = 1.8–5.5 V, TA = –40 to +85°C).
Does the R5F101GADFB#X0 include on-chip data flash memory?
No, the R5F101GADFB#X0 does not include on-chip data flash memory. The '1' in the part number prefix (R5F101xx) explicitly denotes absence of data flash, distinguishing it from R5F100xx variants which integrate 4–8 KB. Firmware must use code flash for constants or external nonvolatile memory for runtime data storage. The R5F101GADFB#X0 retains full self-programming capability for code flash updates.
What package type and pin pitch does the R5F101GADFB#X0 use?
The R5F101GADFB#X0 uses a 48-pin LFQFP package with 7 mm × 7 mm body size and 0.5 mm pin pitch. The '#X0' suffix confirms embossed tape packaging, and the 'FB' designation specifies the LFQFP variant. This package is RoHS-compliant and rated for industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C), making it suitable for compact, high-density PCB layouts in harsh environments.
How does the R5F101GADFB#X0 support low-power operation in battery-powered applications?
The R5F101GADFB#X0 supports ultra-low-power operation through HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE modes - achieving as low as 0.57 μA in STOP mode with RTC and LVD active. Its 66 μA/MHz active current, programmable voltage detector (14-level LVD), and sub-μA real-time clock enable multi-year battery life in intermittent-sensing applications. Wake-up sources include GPIO, timer, and peripheral interrupts, ensuring responsive yet frugal energy use.
Which serial communication interfaces are integrated into the R5F101GADFB#X0?
The R5F101GADFB#X0 integrates three serial interface types: simplified SPI (CSI) with up to 8 channels, UART/LIN with up to 4 channels (supporting LIN bus protocol), and I²C/Simplified I²C with up to 10 channels. All are software-configurable per pin, sharing multiplexed I/O resources. The UART modules support automatic LIN break detection and sync field handling, while CSI offers flexible frame formats compatible with standard SPI peripherals.
