Product details
Overview
R5F101MFAFA#V0 from Renesas is an RL78/G13 80-pin LQFP-0.65mm microcontroller with 64 KB flash, 4 KB data flash, 4 KB RAM, 16-bit CPU core, and ultra-low-power operation (66 μA/MHz, 0.57 μA in RTC+LVD mode) for industrial control, sensor nodes, and battery-powered HMI systems.
For engineers reviewing the R5F101MFAFA#V0 datasheet, R5F101MFAFA#V0 pinout, R5F101MFAFA#V0 application, or R5F101MFAFA#V0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 80-pin LQFP package, absence of on-chip data flash (R5F101x series), -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade, and integrated peripherals including 16-channel 10-bit ADC, real-time clock, and LIN-capable UART.
Technical Context
The R5F101MFAFA#V0 implements the RL78 CISC CPU core with 3-stage pipeline, supporting instruction execution times from 0.03125 μs (32 MHz high-speed mode) to 30.5 μs (32.768 kHz subsystem clock). It integrates a 16-bit timer array (up to 16 channels), 12-bit interval timer, and calendar-mode real-time clock with alarm and correction functions.
Power management includes HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE modes, on-chip POR and 14-level LVD, and voltage operation from 1.6 V to 5.5 V. Communication interfaces comprise up to 4 UART/LIN channels, 10 I²C/Simplified I²C channels, and 8 CSI (SPI-compatible) channels - all configurable without external components.

FAQ
What is the flash memory configuration of the R5F101MFAFA#V0?
The R5F101MFAFA#V0 contains 64 KB of on-chip code flash memory with 1 KB erase blocks and no integrated data flash. This aligns with the R5F101x series designation, distinguishing it from R5F100x variants that include 4 KB data flash. The flash supports self-programming with boot-swap and flash-shield window functions for secure firmware updates.
Does the R5F101MFAFA#V0 support LIN bus communication?
Yes, the R5F101MFAFA#V0 supports LIN 2.2-compliant communication through its UART peripherals. Two to four UART channels are available, each configurable for LIN mode with automatic sync-break detection, checksum calculation, and identifier filtering - enabling direct integration into automotive body electronics or industrial sub-networks without external transceivers.
What is the operating temperature range for the R5F101MFAFA#V0?
The R5F101MFAFA#V0 is rated for industrial operation from -40°C to +85°C (D-grade specification). This is confirmed by the "D" suffix in its part number decoding and validated in the RL78/G13 datasheet Section 1.1. It does not support the extended -40°C to +105°C (G-grade) range offered by select R5F100x variants.
Can the R5F101MFAFA#V0 operate from a 1.8 V supply?
Yes, the R5F101MFAFA#V0 operates across 1.6 V to 5.5 V, fully supporting 1.8 V nominal supply rails. At 1.8 V, maximum CPU frequency is reduced to 16 MHz (per datasheet voltage-frequency derating), and ADC accuracy remains specified with internal reference enabled - making it suitable for low-voltage battery-powered designs.
How many analog input channels does the R5F101MFAFA#V0 support?
The R5F101MFAFA#V0 supports up to 26 analog input channels for its 10-bit successive-approximation ADC. Channel mapping depends on pin configuration and package; the 80-pin LQFP variant (R5F101MFAFA#V0) provides access to all 26 channels. Inputs include dedicated ANI0–ANI25 pins plus AVREFP/AVREFM for precision reference setup.
