Overview
R5F101LGAFA#50 from Renesas is a 64-pin LQFP-0.65mm microcontroller in the RL78/G13 family, featuring 128 KB flash memory, 12 KB RAM, and no data flash. It operates from 1.6 V to 5.5 V, delivers 41 DMIPS at 32 MHz, and supports ultra-low-power modes (0.57 μA in RTC+LVD mode), targeting battery-powered industrial sensors and smart metering interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the R5F101LGAFA#50 datasheet, R5F101LGAFA#50 pinout, R5F101LGAFA#50 application, or R5F101LGAFA#50 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 64-pin LQFP package, absence of on-chip data flash, industrial-grade temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), integrated 10-bit ADC with 26 channels, and dual UART/LIN support for embedded control nodes.
Technical Context
The R5F101LGAFA#50 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture and 3-stage pipeline, enabling instruction execution times from 0.03125 μs (32 MHz) to 30.5 μs (32.768 kHz). It integrates a 12-bit interval timer, real-time clock with calendar/alarm, and watchdog timer driven by a dedicated low-speed oscillator.
Peripheral integration includes up to 26-channel 10-bit A/D converter with internal 1.45 V reference and temperature sensor, 8–16 channels of 16-bit timers, 2–4 channel DMA controller, and serial interfaces: CSI (SPI-compatible), UART/LIN (2 channels), and I²C (up to 10 channels).

Does the R5F101LGAFA#50 include on-chip data flash memory?
No, the R5F101LGAFA#50 does not include on-chip data flash memory. The "101" in the part number explicitly denotes absence of data flash, distinguishing it from "100" variants like R5F100LGAFA#50 which integrate 8 KB of data flash. Code flash remains fully functional for self-programming with boot swap capability.
What package type and pin count does the R5F101LGAFA#50 use?
The R5F101LGAFA#50 uses a 64-pin LQFP package with 0.65-mm pitch (RENESAS code PLQP0064JA-A). This package is compatible with standard surface-mount assembly processes and provides full access to all I/O, timer, communication, and analog resources defined for the RL78/G13 64-pin variant group.
What are the supported low-power modes and their typical current consumption for the R5F101LGAFA#50?
The R5F101LGAFA#50 supports HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE modes. In STOP mode with only RTC and LVD active, it draws 0.57 μA typical. HALT mode consumes 66 μA/MHz during active operation, enabling efficient dynamic power scaling based on processing load and peripheral activity.
Which serial communication interfaces are available on the R5F101LGAFA#50?
The R5F101LGAFA#50 integrates CSI (SPI-compatible), UART/LIN (2 channels), and I²C (up to 10 channels).
