Product details
Overview
R5F101MHAFB#50 from Renesas is an RL78/G13 80-pin, 192 KB flash, 8 KB data flash, 16 KB RAM ultra-low-power 16-bit MCU with integrated RTC, 10-bit ADC (26 channels), and multiple serial interfaces (UART, I²C, CSI). It operates from 1.6 V to 5.5 V, achieves 41 DMIPS at 32 MHz, and supports HALT/STOP/SNOOZE modes for battery-powered industrial sensors and metering systems.
For engineers reviewing the R5F101MHAFB#50 datasheet, R5F101MHAFB#50 pinout, R5F101MHAFB#50 application, or R5F101MHAFB#50 equivalent, key selection criteria include its LFQFP-80 (12 × 12 mm, 0.5-mm pitch) package, -40°C to +105°C industrial temperature grade (G), absence of on-chip data flash (indicated by "101" in part number), and real-time clock with calendar/alarm functionality.
Technical Context
The R5F101MHAFB#50 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture and 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 12-bit interval timer, 16-bit timers (12 channels), and a calendar-capable real-time clock with clock correction.
Its peripheral set includes a 10-bit A/D converter with up to 26 analog inputs and internal 1.45 V reference, three I²C/Simplified I²C channels, four UART/LIN channels, and two CSI (SPI-compatible) channels - all configurable without external components for compact embedded control.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What does the "101" in R5F101MHAFB#50 indicate?
The "101" in R5F101MHAFB#50 explicitly denotes absence of on-chip data flash memory, distinguishing it from "100"-suffixed variants like R5F100MHAFB#50 which include 8 KB data flash. This affects firmware design strategies for parameter storage, requiring external nonvolatile memory if persistent settings are needed. R5F101MHAFB#50 retains full code flash (192 KB), RAM (16 KB), and peripheral functionality.
Does R5F101MHAFB#50 support hardware debugging?
Yes, R5F101MHAFB#50 includes an on-chip debug interface compliant with Renesas E2 emulator protocol, enabling full JTAG/SW-DP debugging, flash programming, and real-time trace. Pins P11 (TOOLRxD) and P12 (TOOLTxD) serve dedicated debug I/O functions, allowing in-circuit development without additional debug probes beyond standard E2 hardware.
Can R5F101MHAFB#50 operate reliably at 5.5 V?
Yes, R5F101MHAFB#50 is fully specified for operation from 1.6 V to 5.5 V across its entire industrial temperature range (-40°C to +105°C). At 5.5 V, all I/O pins tolerate 6 V (N-ch open drain), and internal regulators maintain stable core voltage - making it suitable for direct connection to unregulated 5 V rails in industrial PLC I/O modules.
How many UART channels does R5F101MHAFB#50 provide?
R5F101MHAFB#50 provides four UART channels, each supporting LIN-bus physical layer compliance. These are implemented as independent peripherals (UART0–UART3), with UART0 and UART1 offering additional CSI and I²C sharing capability. All channels support automatic baud rate detection and LIN wakeup functionality for automotive body control applications.
Is the RTC in R5F101MHAFB#50 battery-backed?
No, R5F101MHAFB#50 does not include a dedicated VBAT pin or internal battery backup circuitry for the RTC. The RTC remains functional only while VDD is powered; however, its ultra-low 0.57 μA STOP mode current minimizes drain during sleep, and the calendar function retains date/time across STOP mode exits when main power is maintained.
