FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F10268ASM#55?
The R5F10268ASM#55 supports a maximum system clock frequency of 24 MHz using its high-speed on-chip oscillator. This yields 31 DMIPS performance. External crystal operation is rated up to 20 MHz (VDD ≥ 2.7 V) or 8 MHz (VDD ≥ 1.8 V), per the RL78/G12 datasheet Rev.2.50. The R5F10268ASM#55 does not support frequencies beyond these limits under specified voltage and temperature conditions.
Does the R5F10268ASM#55 include data flash memory?
Yes, the R5F10268ASM#55 includes 2 KB of on-chip data flash memory. This memory supports background operation (BGO), allowing program execution from code flash while rewriting data flash. It is rated for 1,000,000 write/erase cycles at VDD = 1.8–5.5 V, making it suitable for storing calibration data, device configuration, or firmware update payloads in the R5F10268ASM#55.
What package type and pin count does the R5F10268ASM#55 use?
The R5F10268ASM#55 uses a 20-pin plastic TSSOP package (4.4 × 6.5 mm, 0.65-mm pitch), identified by Renesas as PTSP0020JI-A. This matches the "SM" suffix in the part number and is distinct from LSSOP or HWQFN variants. Pin functions are fully documented in the RL78/G12 datasheet Section 1.4.1 and validated for the R5F10268ASM#55 in Table 1-1.
Is the R5F10268ASM#55 compatible with the Renesas E1/E20 emulator?
Yes, the R5F10268ASM#55 supports on-chip debugging via the single-pin TOOL0 interface, compatible with Renesas E1 and E20 emulators. Debug functionality includes breakpoints, watchpoints, and memory inspection. However, Renesas cautions against using the on-chip debug feature in mass-produced end products due to flash wear implications - the R5F10268ASM#55 debug circuitry is intended for development only.
What are the key differences between R5F10268ASM#55 and R5F10368ASM#55?
The R5F10268ASM#55 includes 2 KB data flash, hardware CRC, DMA (2 channels), and enhanced serial interfaces (2 CSI, 2 I²C, 1 UART), whereas the R5F10368ASM#55 omits data flash and CRC, lacks DMA, and supports only 1 CSI, 0 I²C, and 1 UART. Both share identical package, pinout, and core - but the R5F10268ASM#55 is required for applications needing nonvolatile parameter storage or hardware-accelerated data integrity checks.
