Product details
Overview
R5F101JCAFA#30 from Renesas is a 52-pin LQFP-0.65mm microcontroller in the RL78/G13 family, featuring 64 KB flash memory, 4 KB data flash, 4 KB RAM, 16-bit RL78 CPU core, and ultra-low-power operation (66 μA/MHz active, 0.57 μA RTC+LVD mode) for battery-powered industrial control and sensor interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the R5F101JCAFA#30 datasheet, R5F101JCAFA#30 pinout, R5F101JCAFA#30 application, or R5F101JCAFA#30 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 52-pin LQFP package, absence of on-chip data flash (R5F101x series), -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade (D suffix), and integrated peripherals including 10-bit ADC (26 channels), RTC, UART/LIN, I²C, and 16-bit timers.
Technical Context
The R5F101JCAFA#30 implements the RL78 CISC CPU core with 3-stage pipeline, supporting instruction execution times from 0.03125 μs (32 MHz high-speed mode) to 30.5 μs (32.768 kHz subsystem clock). It integrates a 10-bit A/D converter with up to 26 input channels, real-time clock with calendar and alarm, and multiple serial interfaces including UART/LIN, I²C, and CSI (SPI-compatible).
Power management includes HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE low-power modes, on-chip POR and LVD (14-level selectable), and DMA controller with 2/4 channels. The device operates from 1.6 V to 5.5 V and supports background data flash rewriting via BGO functionality - though this variant lacks data flash per R5F101x designation.

FAQ
What is the flash memory configuration of the R5F101JCAFA#30?
The R5F101JCAFA#30 contains 64 KB of on-chip code flash memory and no data flash memory. This aligns with the R5F101x series designation indicating "data flash not provided." The flash is organized in 1 KB blocks and supports self-programming with boot swap and flash shield window functions. Code flash is used exclusively for program storage and firmware execution in the R5F101JCAFA#30.
Does the R5F101JCAFA#30 support real-time clock functionality?
Yes, the R5F101JCAFA#30 integrates a full-featured real-time clock (RTC) with calendar support for 99 years, alarm interrupt capability, and hardware clock correction. It operates independently in STOP mode with only 0.57 μA current draw when powered by VDD, enabling timekeeping during ultra-low-power sleep states without external components.
What is the operating temperature range for the R5F101JCAFA#30?
The R5F101JCAFA#30 is rated for industrial operation from -40°C to +85°C, indicated by the "D" suffix in its part number. This temperature grade ensures reliable performance in demanding environments such as factory automation, building controls, and outdoor sensor deployments where ambient conditions exceed commercial limits.
Which serial communication interfaces are available on the R5F101JCAFA#30?
The R5F101JCAFA#30 provides UART/LIN (2–4 channels), I²C/Simplified I²C (3–10 channels), and CSI (SPI-compatible serial interface, 2–8 channels). These interfaces share pins dynamically - for example, P10/P11/P12 support SCK/SI/SO for CSI, SCL/SDA for I²C, and TxD/RxD for UART - enabling flexible peripheral routing without additional glue logic.
How does the R5F101JCAFA#30 achieve ultra-low power consumption?
The R5F101JCAFA#30 achieves ultra-low power through multiple hardware features: HALT mode (core stopped, peripherals active), STOP mode (0.57 μA with RTC + LVD), and SNOOZE mode (peripheral-triggered wake-up without full CPU restart). Its 66 μA/MHz active current and 1.6–5.5 V wide supply range allow efficient operation across battery, energy-harvesting, and line-powered systems.
