Product details
Overview
R5F101PFAFB#V0 from Renesas is a 100-pin LFQFP-0.5mm-pitch 16-bit RL78/G13 microcontroller with no data flash, 64 KB code flash, 4 KB RAM, and industrial-grade -40°C to +85°C operation. It delivers 41 DMIPS at 32 MHz, consumes 66 μA/MHz active and 0.57 μA in RTC+LVD-only mode, and integrates UART, I²C, SPI, 16-bit timers, 10-bit ADC (26 channels), and real-time clock - deployed in smart metering, HVAC controllers, and industrial sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the R5F101PFAFB#V0 datasheet, R5F101PFAFB#V0 pinout, R5F101PFAFB#V0 application, or R5F101PFAFB#V0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its data-flash-free configuration for cost-sensitive firmware-immutable designs, LFQFP-100 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts, ultra-low-power STOP/HALT modes for battery-backed systems, and integrated analog peripherals enabling single-chip sensor interface solutions.
Technical Context
The R5F101PFAFB#V0 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, supporting instruction execution times from 0.03125 μs (32 MHz HS oscillator) to 30.5 μs (32.768 kHz subsystem clock). Its memory map spans 1 MB address space, with on-chip resources including 64 KB code flash (1 KB block size), 4 KB RAM, and no data flash - distinguishing it from R5F100x variants.
Power management includes on-chip POR, 14-level LVD with interrupt/reset options, and three low-power modes (HALT, STOP, SNOOZE). Peripheral integration comprises up to 26-channel 10-bit ADC with internal 1.45 V reference and temperature sensor, 8–16 × 16-bit timers, real-time clock with calendar/alarm, and dual UART/LIN, triple I²C, and dual CSI (SPI-compatible) serial interfaces.

FAQ
What is the flash memory configuration of the R5F101PFAFB#V0?
The R5F101PFAFB#V0 contains 64 KB of code flash memory with 1 KB erase blocks and no data flash. This configuration is intended for applications with fixed firmware that does not require in-field parameter storage or updates. The absence of data flash reduces cost and simplifies flash management logic in the R5F101PFAFB#V0 firmware stack.
Does the R5F101PFAFB#V0 support real-time clock functionality?
Yes, the R5F101PFAFB#V0 integrates a full-featured real-time clock with calendar support (up to 99 years), alarm interrupt, and clock correction function. It operates independently in STOP mode using the 32.768 kHz subsystem clock, drawing only 0.57 μA - making the R5F101PFAFB#V0 suitable for time-critical, battery-backed applications like energy meters and security loggers.
What are the low-power operating modes supported by the R5F101PFAFB#V0?
The R5F101PFAFB#V0 supports HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE modes. In STOP mode with only RTC and LVD active, current consumption is 0.57 μA. HALT mode stops the CPU but keeps peripherals running at 66 μA/MHz. These modes are hardware-controlled and configurable via system registers - critical for extending battery life in the R5F101PFAFB#V0's target applications.
Can the R5F101PFAFB#V0 interface with 1.8 V or 2.5 V peripherals?
Yes, the R5F101PFAFB#V0 I/O ports support different-potential interfacing: selected pins tolerate 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3 V logic levels when configured with appropriate drive strength and input buffer settings. This capability allows direct connection to low-voltage sensors and communication ICs without level shifters - a key advantage in mixed-voltage designs using the R5F101PFAFB#V0.
What serial communication interfaces are integrated into the R5F101PFAFB#V0?
The R5F101PFAFB#V0 integrates two UART/LIN channels, three I²C/Simplified I²C channels, and two CSI (SPI-compatible) interfaces. All are independently configurable and support simultaneous operation. This mix enables the R5F101PFAFB#V0 to manage multiple sensors, displays, and wireless modules without external bus expanders - reducing system complexity and BOM count.
