FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding DMIPS rating of the R5F10268ASM#15?
The R5F10268ASM#15 operates at up to 24 MHz using its high-speed on-chip oscillator and delivers 31 DMIPS performance. This benchmark reflects real-world instruction throughput under typical code mix conditions and confirms suitability for time-critical tasks like motor commutation or sensor fusion algorithms within the R5F10268ASM#15's power envelope.
Does the R5F10268ASM#15 include data flash memory, and what is its endurance specification?
Yes, the R5F10268ASM#15 includes 2 KB of on-chip data flash memory rated for 1,000,000 write/erase cycles (typical) across the full 1.8–5.5 V VDD range. This enables reliable nonvolatile storage of calibration data, device configuration, or usage logs without requiring external EEPROM - a key differentiator versus the R5F103xx series which lacks data flash.
What low-power modes does the R5F10268ASM#15 support, and what are their typical current draws?
The R5F10268ASM#15 supports HALT (63 μA/MHz), STOP (0.52 μA), and SNOOZE modes. HALT halts CPU while preserving RAM and peripheral states; STOP disables all clocks except LVD and RTC; SNOOZE allows selected peripherals (e.g., ADC, UART) to operate while CPU sleeps. These modes are validated per R01DS0193EJ0250 Rev.2.50 and directly enable multi-year battery life in R5F10268ASM#15-based designs.
How many analog input channels does the R5F10268ASM#15 have, and what reference options are available?
The R5F10268ASM#15 features 11 analog input channels (ANI0–ANI3, ANI16–ANI22) with 10-bit resolution. Reference options include VDD (ratiometric), internal 1.45 V bandgap, and differential AVREFP/AVREFM pins - providing flexibility for precision measurements across varying supply conditions without external reference ICs in the R5F10268ASM#15 design.
Is the R5F10268ASM#15 pin-compatible with other RL78/G12 20-pin variants, and what package does it use?
Yes, the R5F10268ASM#15 uses the PTSP0020JI-A 20-pin TSSOP package (4.4 × 6.5 mm, 0.65-mm pitch) and shares identical pinout and electrical characteristics with other R5F102xxASM#15 and R5F103xxASM#15 variants. This enables drop-in replacement across memory configurations (2–16 KB flash) and application grades (A/D/G) without PCB redesign - a verified compatibility documented in Renesas' R01DS0193EJ0250 datasheet.
