Product details
Overview
R5F10266GSP#X5 from Renesas Electronics is a 20-pin LSSOP ultra-low-power 16-bit RL78/G12 microcontroller for industrial temperature-grade embedded control, featuring 2 KB code flash, 256 B RAM, 2 KB data flash, 10-bit A/D converter (11 channels), and operation from 1.8 V to 5.5 V across –40°C to +105°C ambient. It integrates UART, two CSI channels, two simplified I²C interfaces, four 16-bit timer channels, and on-chip debug.
For engineers reviewing the R5F10266GSP#X5 datasheet, R5F10266GSP#X5 pinout, R5F10266GSP#X5 application, or R5F10266GSP#X5 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options - all grounded in Renesas' official R01DS0193EJ0250 Rev.2.50 specification and RL78/G12 family documentation.
Technical Context
The R5F10266GSP#X5 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture and 3-stage pipeline, delivering 31 DMIPS at 24 MHz while consuming only 63 μA/MHz. Its memory subsystem includes 2 KB code flash (1 KB block size), 2 KB data flash supporting background operation (BGO) and 1M rewrite cycles, and 256 B RAM - constrained by the R5F10266 variant's fixed allocation per Renesas' note on self-programming limitations.
It operates in HS (high-speed main) mode using either external crystal (1–20 MHz) or high-accuracy ±1.0% on-chip oscillator (1–24 MHz), with dedicated low-speed 15 kHz watchdog clock. Peripheral integration includes CRC, RAM guard, SFR guard, and key interrupt support - features exclusive to R5F102-series devices and absent in R5F103 counterparts.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding power consumption of the R5F10266GSP#X5?
The R5F10266GSP#X5 operates up to 24 MHz using its high-speed on-chip oscillator with ±1.0% accuracy across –40°C to +105°C. At this speed, it consumes 63 μA/MHz - translating to approximately 1.51 mA total active current. This ultra-low-power figure enables continuous operation from coin-cell batteries in maintenance-free sensor applications.
Does the R5F10266GSP#X5 support self-programming of its code flash memory?
No, the R5F10266GSP#X5 does not support self-programming of code flash memory, as explicitly stated in Renesas' datasheet note for R5F10266 and R5F10366 variants. However, it retains full self-programming capability for its 2 KB data flash memory, including background operation (BGO) and 1,000,000 write/erase cycles.
What are the key differences between R5F10266GSP#X5 and R5F10366GSP#X5?
The R5F10266GSP#X5 includes 2 KB data flash, CRC engine, RAM guard, SFR guard, and ±1.0% oscillator accuracy - features absent in the R5F10366GSP#X5. The latter omits data flash and safety peripherals, uses ±5.0% oscillator accuracy, and lacks DMA. These differences make R5F10266GSP#X5 suitable for industrial applications requiring field-updatable parameters and functional safety.
Can the R5F10266GSP#X5 operate from a 1.8 V supply while maintaining full peripheral functionality?
Yes, the R5F10266GSP#X5 guarantees full operation - including 10-bit ADC, UART, timers, and on-chip debug - across its entire 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply range. At 1.8 V, the high-speed on-chip oscillator supports up to 8 MHz operation, and the ADC maintains 10-bit resolution with internal 1.45 V reference, enabling direct interface with low-voltage sensors.
Which development tools are officially supported for the R5F10266GSP#X5?
Renesas officially supports the R5F10266GSP#X5 with the CS+ IDE, e² studio, and IAR Embedded Workbench. Hardware debugging is enabled via the on-chip debug interface using E2 emulator Lite or E2 emulator standard. The device is also compatible with Renesas' RL78/G12 Starter Kit (YRDKRL78G12) for rapid prototyping and validation.
