Product details
Overview
R5F10266ASM#55 from Renesas Electronics is a 20-pin RL78/G12 16-bit microcontroller with 2 KB code flash, 2 KB data flash, and 256 B RAM, operating at 1.8–5.5 V and delivering 31 DMIPS at 24 MHz. It integrates an ultra-low-power RL78 CPU core (63 μA/MHz), 10-bit A/D converter (11 channels), UART/CSI/I²C serial interfaces, and on-chip debug support - deployed in battery-powered sensor nodes and industrial control panels.
For engineers reviewing the R5F10266ASM#55 datasheet, R5F10266ASM#55 pinout, R5F10266ASM#55 application, or R5F10266ASM#55 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package mapping, real-world use scenarios, and validated alternative options for low-voltage embedded designs requiring integrated data flash and robust interrupt handling.
Technical Context
The R5F10266ASM#55 implements the RL78 CISC CPU core with 3-stage pipeline, supporting instruction execution times from 0.04167 μs (@24 MHz high-speed on-chip oscillator) to 1 μs (@1 MHz). Its memory subsystem includes 2 KB code flash (1 KB block size), 2 KB data flash with background operation (BGO), and 256 B RAM - constrained by fixed 256-byte RAM capacity limiting stack depth for self-programming library use.
Peripheral integration includes 4-channel 16-bit timer (TAU0), 1-channel watchdog timer, 12-bit interval timer, 11-channel 10-bit A/D converter with internal 1.45 V reference and temperature sensor, and dual serial interfaces: 1 UART channel + 2 CSI (SPI-like) channels + 2 simplified I²C channels - all enabled only in HS (high-speed main) mode per datasheet Note 2.
