This capability is documented in the RL78/G13 datasheet Section 1.1 Features and applies to all R5F101x devices regardless of flash size or package variant.
What is the operating temperature range for the R5F101PFAFA#10?
The R5F101PFAFA#10 is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C, as indicated by the "A" suffix in its part number per Figure 1-1 of the RL78/G13 datasheet. This temperature grade is distinct from the "G" variant (–40°C to +105°C) and is validated across all electrical specifications including flash programming, A/D conversion, and oscillator accuracy.
How many A/D converter channels does the R5F101PFAFA#10 support?
The R5F101PFAFA#10 supports up to 26 analog input channels for its 10-bit A/D converter, with selectable reference voltages including internal 1.45 V and external AVREFP/AVREFM.
