Product details
Overview
R5F101GKDNA#20 from Renesas is a 48-pin HWQFN-packaged RL78/G13 16-bit microcontroller with 256 KB flash, 8 KB data flash, and 20 KB RAM, operating from 1.6–5.5 V at -40°C to +85°C (Industrial D-grade), delivering 41 DMIPS at 32 MHz for low-power embedded control in sensor nodes, motor drives, and industrial HMI.
For engineers reviewing the R5F101GKDNA#20 datasheet, R5F101GKDNA#20 pinout, R5F101GKDNA#20 application, or R5F101GKDNA#20 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 48-pin HWQFN-0.5mm package, absence of on-chip data flash (R5F101x series), real-time clock with calendar support, 10-bit 26-channel ADC, and integrated LIN-capable UART for automotive body electronics and smart appliances.
Technical Context
The R5F101GKDNA#20 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 ultra-low-speed mode). It integrates a 12-bit interval timer, RTC with alarm/calendar, watchdog timer, and DMA controller with up to 4 channels.
Its peripheral set includes up to 16× 16-bit timers, 3–10 I²C/Simplified I²C channels, 2–4 UART/LIN interfaces, 2–8 CSI (SPI-compatible) channels, and an 8/10-bit ADC with internal 1.45 V reference and temperature sensor - all optimized for deterministic real-time operation under variable supply and temperature conditions.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F100GKDNA#20 | Includes 4 KB data flash; same 256 KB code flash, 20 KB RAM, and identical pinout/package | Preferred where field firmware updates or parameter storage require dedicated data flash memory | Select when non-volatile parameter retention between resets is required without emulating data flash in code flash |
| R5F101GKAFB#30 | Same core/peripherals but in 48-pin LFQFP (7 × 7 mm, 0.5-mm pitch); different thermal and mechanical footprint | Suitable for legacy board designs using QFP or where reflow compatibility with larger pads is needed | Choose for manual assembly, prototyping, or compatibility with existing LFQFP-based layouts - not drop-in replacement |
Compared with R5F100GKDNA#20, the R5F101GKDNA#20 omits data flash to reduce cost and simplify firmware design for fixed-parameter systems; versus R5F101GKAFB#30, it offers superior thermal performance and smaller PCB area via HWQFN, but requires fine-pitch reflow process control.

FAQ
What is the flash memory configuration of the R5F101GKDNA#20?
The R5F101GKDNA#20 contains 256 KB of on-chip code flash memory with 1 KB block size and no integrated data flash - consistent with the R5F101x series designation. This configuration prioritizes code density and cost efficiency for applications where parameters are stored in external EEPROM or emulated in flash sectors. The R5F101GKDNA#20 supports self-programming with boot swap and flash shield window functions.
Does the R5F101GKDNA#20 support LIN bus communication?
Yes, the R5F101GKDNA#20 supports LIN bus communication via its UART peripherals, which include hardware LIN-mode functionality compliant with ISO 17987. Two to four UART channels are available depending on pin configuration, enabling direct connection to LIN transceivers for automotive body electronics or industrial sub-networks without external protocol translation.
What package type and pin count does the R5F101GKDNA#20 use?
The R5F101GKDNA#20 uses a 48-pin HWQFN package (7 × 7 mm, 0.5-mm pitch) with an exposed thermal pad. This compact, thermally efficient package is moisture-sensitive level 3 and RoHS-compliant. Pin compatibility is maintained across all R5F101GKx variants in the same package family, including R5F101GKANA, R5F101GKDNA, and R5F101GKAFB - though QFP and HWQFN are not mechanically interchangeable.
What is the operating temperature range for the R5F101GKDNA#20?
The R5F101GKDNA#20 is rated for industrial operation from -40°C to +85°C (D-grade), as indicated by the "D" in its part number suffix. It is not rated for the extended +105°C range (G-grade) or consumer-grade +85°C with reduced qualification. This makes it suitable for factory automation, building controls, and outdoor-rated equipment where ambient stability is critical.
How does the R5F101GKDNA#20 handle analog-to-digital conversion?
The R5F101GKDNA#20 integrates a 10-bit successive-approximation ADC with up to 26 input channels, internal 1.45 V reference voltage, and an on-chip temperature sensor. Conversion can occur in background during SNOOZE mode, and the ADC supports programmable sample-and-hold timing, scan sequences, and interrupt generation per channel - enabling precise sensor monitoring in low-power systems.
