Product details
Overview
R5F101LKAFB#X0 from Renesas is a 64-pin LFQFP (0.5 mm pitch), 384 KB flash, 8 KB data flash, 24 KB RAM RL78/G13 16-bit microcontroller operating from 1.6–5.5 V, delivering 41 DMIPS at 32 MHz with ultra-low-power HALT/STOP/SNOOZE modes - deployed in battery-powered industrial sensors and smart metering interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the R5F101LKAFB#X0 datasheet, R5F101LKAFB#X0 pinout, R5F101LKAFB#X0 application, or R5F101LKAFB#X0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 64-pin LFQFP-0.5mm package, absence of on-chip data flash (R5F101x series), RTC + LVD support, and 10-bit ADC with up to 26 channels for embedded control systems requiring long-life power budgets.
Technical Context
The R5F101LKAFB#X0 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, real-time clock with calendar/alarm/correction, and watchdog timer with dedicated low-speed oscillator.
It features dual serial interface sets: up to 4 UART/LIN channels, 3–10 I²C/Simplified I²C channels, and 2–8 CSI (SPI-compatible) channels; plus an 8/10-bit A/D converter with internal 1.45 V reference and temperature sensor, all operating across –40°C to +85°C ambient range (industrial-grade D suffix).

FAQ
Does R5F101LKAFB#X0 include on-chip data flash memory?
No, R5F101LKAFB#X0 does not include on-chip data flash memory. It belongs to the R5F101x series, which omits data flash to reduce cost and die size. The R5F100x series (e.g., R5F100LKAFB#X0) provides 8 KB of data flash. Code flash remains fully functional for program storage and parameter retention using flash shield window protection.
What is the operating temperature range for R5F101LKAFB#X0?
R5F101LKAFB#X0 is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C (D-grade). This is confirmed by its part number suffix "D" in the RL78/G13 family coding scheme and validated in the official datasheet's ambient temperature specification table.
Which package type and footprint does R5F101LKAFB#X0 use?
R5F101LKAFB#X0 uses a 64-pin LFQFP package with 0.5 mm pitch and 10 × 10 mm body size (RENESAS code PLQP0064KF-A). The #X0 suffix indicates embossed tape packaging - compatible with automated SMT placement equipment using standard LFQFP-64 land patterns.
Can R5F101LKAFB#X0 operate from a 1.8 V supply?
Yes, R5F101LKAFB#X0 supports single-supply operation from 1.6 V to 5.5 V. At 1.8 V, it maintains full functionality including 32 MHz operation (with high-speed on-chip oscillator), ADC conversion, and RTC operation - verified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and DC Characteristics sections of the R01DS0131EJ0380 datasheet.
How many UART/LIN channels does R5F101LKAFB#X0 support?
R5F101LKAFB#X0 supports up to 4 UART/LIN channels. This is confirmed in the "Serial interface" section of the datasheet and aligns with its 64-pin package variant, which allocates sufficient pins for multiple full-duplex UART interfaces with LIN bus physical layer compatibility.
