FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F10266GSM#15?
The R5F10266GSM#15 supports a maximum system clock frequency of 24 MHz using its high-speed on-chip oscillator. When using an external crystal (X1/X2), the maximum is 20 MHz at VDD ≥ 2.7 V or 8 MHz at VDD = 1.8–2.4 V. This enables 31 DMIPS performance while maintaining ultra-low power consumption of 63 µA/MHz - a key specification confirmed in the R01DS0193EJ0250 datasheet Section 1.1.
Does the R5F10266GSM#15 support self-programming of its flash memory?
No, the R5F10266GSM#15 does not support self-programming of code flash memory. As explicitly stated in the datasheet footnote on Page 2, "The self-programming function cannot be used for R5F10266 and R5F10366." However, it retains full data flash functionality (2 KB, 1M rewrite cycles, BGO) for non-volatile parameter storage - making R5F10266GSM#15 ideal for fixed-function controllers where firmware updates are handled externally.
What are the key differences between R5F10266GSM#15 and R5F10366GSM#15?
The R5F10266GSM#15 includes 2 KB data flash, 2-channel DMA, CRC engine, RAM/SFR guard, and ±1.0% oscillator accuracy, while R5F10366GSM#15 omits data flash and DMA, lacks safety guards, and has ±5.0% oscillator tolerance. Both share identical 2 KB code flash, 256 B RAM, 20-pin TSSOP package, and –40°C to +105°C rating - but R5F10266GSM#15 is designed for applications requiring data logging, functional safety, or tighter timing control.
Which serial communication protocols are supported by the R5F10266GSM#15?
The R5F10266GSM#15 supports two simplified SPI (CSI) channels, two simplified I²C channels, and one UART channel - all confirmed for the R5F1026x 20-pin variant in Section 1.7 of the datasheet. Its P60/P61 pins are 6 V-tolerant N-ch open-drain I/O, enabling direct 5 V I²C bus interfacing without external level shifters - a design advantage for mixed-voltage industrial systems.
Is the R5F10266GSM#15 qualified for industrial temperature operation?
Yes, the R5F10266GSM#15 is rated for –40°C to +105°C operation (G-grade), as indicated by the "G" in its part number per Figure 1-1 of the datasheet. This qualification covers full functionality including 2 KB data flash BGO operation, 10-bit ADC accuracy, and ±1.0% oscillator stability - making it suitable for under-hood automotive modules, factory automation controllers, and outdoor metering equipment.
