Product details
Overview
R5F101GKDFB#X0 from Renesas is a 48-pin LFQFP (7 × 7 mm, 0.5-mm pitch), industrial-grade RL78/G13 16-bit microcontroller with 256 KB flash, 8 KB data flash, 20 KB RAM, 1.6–5.5 V operation, and -40°C to +105°C ambient rating - deployed in smart metering, industrial HMI, and battery-powered sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the R5F101GKDFB#X0 datasheet, R5F101GKDFB#X0 pinout, R5F101GKDFB#X0 application, or R5F101GKDFB#X0 equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low-power STOP/HALT modes (0.57 μA RTC+LVD), integrated 10-bit ADC (26 channels), real-time clock with calendar/alarm, and hardware UART/I²C/CSI interfaces for embedded control and telemetry.
Technical Context
The R5F101GKDFB#X0 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture and 3-stage pipeline, supporting instruction execution times from 0.03125 μs (@32 MHz) to 30.5 μs (@32.768 kHz). It integrates a high-accuracy ±1.0% on-chip oscillator (selectable 1–32 MHz), DMA controller (4 channels), and multiplier/divider unit for 16×16→32-bit and 32÷32-bit operations.
Its peripheral set includes up to 16× 16-bit timers, 1× 12-bit interval timer, 1× calendar-capable RTC, 1× watchdog timer, and serial interfaces: 2–4 UART/LIN, 3–10 I²C/Simplified I²C, and 2–8 CSI channels - all configurable via dedicated SFRs and interrupt vectors without software overhead.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F101GKAFB#X0 | Same package and memory (256 KB/8 KB/20 KB), but consumer temp grade (−40°C to +85°C) | Suitable for non-industrial environments where extended temperature is not required | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs industrial thermal margin requirements |
| R5F101GLDFB#X0 | Identical specs and temp grade, but 64-pin LQFP (12 × 12 mm, 0.65-mm pitch) - adds 16 more I/O and 2 extra UART/I²C channels | Required when system needs >48 GPIO or additional serial interfaces beyond R5F101GKDFB#X0 capacity | Choose for scalability path without firmware redesign - same peripheral register map and toolchain |
Compared with R5F101GKDFB#X0, R5F101GKAFB#X0 trades industrial temperature tolerance for lower acquisition cost, while R5F101GLDFB#X0 retains full thermal specification but expands I/O count and interface density - enabling migration from compact control to feature-rich HMI or multi-sensor systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding power consumption of the R5F101GKDFB#X0?
The R5F101GKDFB#X0 operates up to 32 MHz using its high-accuracy on-chip oscillator (±1.0% over −40°C to +85°C). At full speed, it consumes 66 μA per MHz under typical conditions. In STOP mode with only RTC and LVD active, current drops to 0.57 μA - verified per R01DS0131EJ0380 Rev.3.80 datasheet Section 1.1.
Does the R5F101GKDFB#X0 include an integrated temperature sensor and how is it calibrated?
Yes, the R5F101GKDFB#X0 includes an on-chip temperature sensor usable only in HS (high-speed main) mode. It outputs a voltage proportional to die temperature, referenced to the internal 1.45 V bandgap. Calibration requires one-point factory characterization; users apply linear compensation using slope/offset values provided in the device-specific calibration data sheet (R01DS0131EJ0380 Appendix A).
Can the R5F101GKDFB#X0 perform simultaneous code execution and data flash rewriting?
Yes, the R5F101GKDFB#X0 supports Background Operation (BGO) for data flash. While rewriting 4–8 KB of data flash memory, the CPU can execute instructions from code flash without interruption - critical for logging sensor data during active control loops. This is enabled via the FLMCR register and documented in Section 24.3.3 of R01DS0131EJ0380.
What UART/LIN features does the R5F101GKDFB#X0 support for automotive diagnostics?
The R5F101GKDFB#X0 includes two UART channels (UART0 and UART1) with full LIN 2.2 compliance: automatic sync-break detection, configurable baud rate generation, and LIN header/response timing control. UART0 supports TOOLRxD for on-chip debug, and both channels integrate error detection (framing, parity, overrun) - validated per Renesas Application Note R01AN3727.
Is the R5F101GKDFB#X0 pin-compatible with other RL78/G13 variants in the same package?
Yes, all RL78/G13 devices in the 48-pin LFQFP (FB) package - including R5F100xKDFB and R5F101xKDFB variants - share identical pinouts and electrical characteristics. Differences are limited to flash/data flash/RAM sizes and temperature grade (D vs G), confirmed in Table 1-1 and Figure 1-1 of R01DS0131EJ0380.
