Product details
Overview
R5F101LKDFA#X0 from Renesas is a 64-pin LQFP-0.65mm, 16-bit RL78/G13 microcontroller with 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 control and sensor interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the R5F101LKDFA#X0 datasheet, R5F101LKDFA#X0 pinout, R5F101LKDFA#X0 application, or R5F101LKDFA#X0 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 (26 channels), real-time clock with calendar, and hardware UART/SPI/I²C interfaces for embedded system integration.
Technical Context
The R5F101LKDFA#X0 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture and 3-stage pipeline, enabling instruction execution times from 0.03125 μs (32 MHz high-speed mode) to 30.5 μs (32.768 kHz low-speed mode). Its memory map spans 1 MB address space with banked 8-bit general-purpose registers.
It integrates a 12-bit interval timer, 16-bit timers (12 channels), watchdog timer with dedicated low-speed oscillator, and DMA controller (4 channels) supporting 2-clock transfers between SFR and RAM - all optimized for deterministic real-time response in resource-constrained environments.
