Product details
Overview
R5F101LEAFA#V0 from Renesas is a 64-pin LQFP-0.65mm, 16 KB flash, 2 KB RAM, RL78/G13 16-bit microcontroller with ultra-low-power operation (66 μA/MHz), real-time clock, 10-bit ADC (26 channels), and UART/I²C/CSI interfaces - deployed in battery-powered industrial sensors and smart metering endpoints.
For engineers reviewing the R5F101LEAFA#V0 datasheet, R5F101LEAFA#V0 pinout, R5F101LEAFA#V0 application, or R5F101LEAFA#V0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its data-flash-free architecture, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade, 1.6–5.5 V supply range, and integrated LVD/POR for robust embedded control in space-constrained, low-quiescent designs.
Technical Context
The R5F101LEAFA#V0 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, supporting instruction execution times from 0.03125 μs (@32 MHz) to 30.5 μs (@32.768 kHz). It integrates a 12-bit interval timer, calendar-mode RTC with alarm/correction, and watchdog timer driven by dedicated low-speed oscillator.
Its peripheral set includes up to 26-channel 10-bit ADC with internal 1.45 V reference and temperature sensor, 8–16 channels of 16-bit timer, 2–4 UART/LIN channels, 3–10 I²C/Simplified I²C channels, and 2–8 CSI (SPI-compatible) channels - all operating within a single 1.6–5.5 V supply domain without level shifters.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F101LEAFA#V0?
The R5F101LEAFA#V0 supports up to 32 MHz operation using the high-speed on-chip oscillator with ±1.0% accuracy across 1.8–5.5 V and –20 to +85°C. External crystals up to 20 MHz may also be used via CLKP/CLKN pins. The RL78 core delivers 41 DMIPS at this speed, enabling responsive real-time control in the R5F101LEAFA#V0.
Does the R5F101LEAFA#V0 include data flash memory?
No, the R5F101LEAFA#V0 does not include data flash memory. Per Renesas part numbering convention, the "101" prefix indicates no data flash, distinguishing it from "100" variants (e.g., R5F100LEAFA#V0) which integrate 4 KB. All other peripherals, pinout, and code flash (16 KB) remain identical in the R5F101LEAFA#V0.
What temperature grade does the R5F101LEAFA#V0 support?
Based on the "A" suffix in the ordering code and confirmed in Table 1-1, the R5F101LEAFA#V0 is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. It does not support the extended +105°C grade (denoted by "G") or consumer-grade packaging - making the R5F101LEAFA#V0 appropriate for factory-floor and outdoor-deployed equipment.
Can the R5F101LEAFA#V0 operate from a 1.8 V supply?
Yes, the R5F101LEAFA#V0 operates across 1.6 V to 5.5 V, fully supporting 1.8 V nominal supply. At 1.8 V, the maximum guaranteed operating frequency is 16 MHz per the datasheet's DC characteristics table, and all peripherals - including ADC, RTC, and serial interfaces - remain functional. This enables direct interfacing with 1.8 V logic in the R5F101LEAFA#V0.
Is the R5F101LEAFA#V0 pin-compatible with other RL78/G13 64-pin variants?
Yes, all RL78/G13 64-pin LQFP-0.65mm variants - including R5F100LEAFA#V0, R5F101LEAFA#V0, and R5F101LDAFA#V0 - share identical pinouts and package dimensions (PLQP0064JA-A). Differences are limited to memory configuration and temperature grade; no PCB layout change is required when migrating between these R5F101LEAFA#V0-compatible parts.
