Product details
Overview
R5F101LFDFA#X0 from Renesas is a 64-pin LQFP-0.65mm, 16-bit RL78/G13 microcontroller with 64 KB flash, 4 KB data flash, 4 KB RAM, and industrial-grade operation (−40°C to +85°C). It delivers 41 DMIPS at 32 MHz, supports ultra-low-power modes (0.57 μA RTC+LVD), and integrates 16-bit timers, 10-bit ADC (26 channels), UART/I²C/CSI interfaces, and on-chip debug.
For engineers reviewing the R5F101LFDFA#X0 datasheet, R5F101LFDFA#X0 pinout, R5F101LFDFA#X0 application, or R5F101LFDFA#X0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 64-pin LQFP package, absence of data flash (R5F101x series), industrial temperature rating, and compatibility with RL78/G13 development tools and IAR/CS+ toolchains.
Technical Context
The R5F101LFDFA#X0 implements the RL78 CPU core with a 3-stage CISC pipeline, supporting instruction execution times from 0.03125 μs (32 MHz high-speed mode) to 30.5 μs (32.768 kHz ultra-low-speed mode). Its memory map spans 1 MB, with dedicated SFR regions and banked general-purpose registers (8×8-bit × 4 banks).
It features a 12-bit interval timer, real-time clock with calendar/alarm functions, watchdog timer with dedicated low-speed oscillator, and DMA controller with 2 channels enabling 2-clock transfers between SFR and RAM. The on-chip high-accuracy oscillator offers ±1.0% stability across 1.8–5.5 V and −20 to +85°C.

|---|---|---|---|
| R5F100LFDFA#X0 | Same package and pinout; includes 4 KB data flash and flash library RAM usage at FEF00H | Supports background data flash rewriting (BGO); suitable where nonvolatile parameter storage is required | Select when firmware must store calibration data, event logs, or user settings independently of code flash |
| R5F101LFDFB#X0 | Identical memory and peripherals; differs only in package - LFQFP (10×10 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) vs. LQFP (12×12 mm, 0.65 mm pitch) | Higher pin density; requires PCB redesign but saves board area in space-constrained applications | Choose for compact designs where footprint reduction outweighs re-layout effort and thermal derating considerations |
Compared with R5F100LFDFA#X0, the R5F101LFDFA#X0 reduces BOM cost by omitting data flash while retaining identical performance and low-power capability; versus R5F101LFDFB#X0, it trades smaller footprint for easier thermal management and standard LQFP assembly compatibility.

FAQ
What is the flash memory configuration of the R5F101LFDFA#X0?
The R5F101LFDFA#X0 contains 64 KB of on-chip code flash memory and no data flash memory. This distinguishes it from the R5F100x series, which includes 4 KB of data flash. The R5F101LFDFA#X0 uses flash library RAM starting at address FEF00H for self-programming operations, and its flash block size is 1 KB with security features prohibiting unauthorized erase/write.
Does the R5F101LFDFA#X0 support real-time clock functionality?
Yes, the R5F101LFDFA#X0 integrates a dedicated real-time clock (RTC) module with calendar support for up to 99 years, alarm interrupt capability, and hardware clock correction. It operates independently in STOP mode with only 0.57 μA current draw when paired with the low-voltage detector (LVD), making it ideal for time-critical industrial logging and scheduling tasks.
What are the low-power operating modes supported by the R5F101LFDFA#X0?
The R5F101LFDFA#X0 supports HALT mode (66 μA/MHz), STOP mode (0.57 μA with RTC and LVD active), and SNOOZE mode (selective peripheral wake-up while CPU remains halted). These modes are controlled via software and enable aggressive power optimization in battery-powered applications such as utility meters and wireless sensors without sacrificing responsiveness.
Which development tools are compatible with the R5F101LFDFA#X0?
The R5F101LFDFA#X0 is fully supported by Renesas' CS+ IDE and IAR Embedded Workbench for RL78. It is compatible with E2 emulator Lite and E2 emulator for debugging and flash programming. Evaluation boards such as the YRDKRL78G13 provide hardware reference designs, pin-compatible headers, and example firmware for rapid prototyping of the R5F101LFDFA#X0 and other RL78/G13 variants.
How does the R5F101LFDFA#X0 differ from the R5F100LFDFA#X0?
The R5F101LFDFA#X0 and R5F100LFDFA#X0 share identical package (64-pin LQFP), pinout, clock system, peripherals, and CPU core. The sole functional difference is that R5F100LFDFA#X0 includes 4 KB of data flash memory with background operation (BGO), while R5F101LFDFA#X0 omits data flash entirely - reducing cost and die size for applications that store parameters in external EEPROM or do not require nonvolatile data storage.
