For engineers reviewing the R5F10268DSP#55 datasheet, R5F10268DSP#55 pinout, R5F10268DSP#55 application, or R5F10268DSP#55 equivalent, key selection criteria include its integrated 2 KB data flash for logging, 11-channel 10-bit ADC with internal reference, dual CSI/I²C serial interfaces, and support for STOP/HALT/SNOOZE low-power modes down to 63 μA/MHz.
Technical Context
The R5F10268DSP#55 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, 1 MB address space, and configurable instruction execution time (0.04167 μs @ 24 MHz). It integrates a high-accuracy ±1.0% on-chip oscillator (1–24 MHz) and supports external crystal (1–20 MHz) via X1/X2 pins.
It features two CSI channels, two simplified I²C channels, one UART channel, four 16-bit timer channels with PWM capability, CRC hardware acceleration, RAM guard, and SFR guard - all enabled only in R5F102-series devices and absent in R5F103 variants.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F10269DSP#55 | Same package and pinout; 12 KB code flash + 2 KB data flash vs. 8 KB + 2 KB | Requires larger firmware image size; better suited for complex protocol stacks or OTA update buffers | Select when firmware exceeds 8 KB or future scalability is required; identical low-power behavior and peripheral set |
| R5F10368DSP#55 | No data flash; reduced oscillator accuracy (±5.0%); lacks DMA, CRC, RAM/SFR guard, and simplified I²C | Lower BOM cost but requires external EEPROM for parameter storage and offers no hardware safety features | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical applications where data logging is handled externally and firmware fits in 8 KB code flash |
Compared with R5F10269DSP#55, the R5F10268DSP#55 trades 4 KB flash capacity for tighter cost control while retaining identical low-power performance and peripheral functionality; versus R5F10368DSP#55, it adds critical reliability features - data flash, CRC, and memory guards - essential for field-deployed embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding DMIPS rating of the R5F10268DSP#55?
The R5F10268DSP#55 operates at up to 24 MHz using its high-speed on-chip oscillator, delivering 31 DMIPS performance. This is confirmed in the RL78/G12 datasheet (R01DS0193EJ0250 Rev.2.50, Page 1). The core achieves this with a 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture and minimum instruction execution time of 0.04167 μs at 24 MHz. The R5F10268DSP#55 maintains full peripheral functionality across its entire 1.8–5.5 V supply range.
Does the R5F10268DSP#55 include on-chip data flash memory, and what are its key characteristics?
Yes, the R5F10268DSP#55 includes 2 KB of on-chip data flash memory, a feature exclusive to the R5F102 series (not present in R5F103 variants). It supports background operation (BGO), allowing program execution from code flash while rewriting data flash. Rated for 1,000,000 write/erase cycles at VDD = 1.8–5.5 V, it enables reliable firmware parameter storage and field data logging without external EEPROM. This capability is documented in Section 1.1 of the R01DS0193EJ0250 datasheet.
What low-power modes does the R5F10268DSP#55 support, and what are their typical current consumptions?
The R5F10268DSP#55 supports HALT (63 μA/MHz), STOP (0.52 μA typical), and SNOOZE modes. HALT halts the CPU while keeping peripherals active; STOP disables all clocks except the low-speed oscillator (15 kHz), achieving sub-μA sleep; SNOOZE allows selected peripherals (e.g., UART, ADC) to operate while CPU remains halted. These values are specified in the RL78/G12 datasheet (R01DS0193EJ0250 Rev.2.50, Page 1) and validated across the –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
How many analog input channels and what ADC resolution does the R5F10268DSP#55 provide?
The R5F10268DSP#55 provides 11 analog input channels with 10-bit resolution. It includes internal reference voltage (1.45 V), AVREFP/AVREFM pins for differential measurement, and an integrated temperature sensor. All 11 channels (ANI0–ANI3, ANI16–ANI22) are accessible on the 20-pin LSSOP package. This configuration is explicitly listed in Table 1-1 and Section 1.1 of the R01DS0193EJ0250 datasheet, confirming full analog capability in the R5F10268 variant.
What serial communication interfaces are integrated into the R5F10268DSP#55, and how are they distributed across pins?
The R5F10268DSP#55 integrates two CSI (SPI-compatible) channels, two simplified I²C channels, and one UART channel. CSI00 uses P10 (SCK), P11 (SI), P12 (SO); CSI01 uses P42 (SCK), P41 (SO), P125 (SI). I²C00 uses P60 (SCL) and P61 (SDA); I²C01 uses P42 (SCL) and P41 (SDA). UART0 uses P11 (RxD) and P12 (TxD). This dual-serial architecture is confirmed in Section 1.7 "Outline of Functions" and Figure 1-1 of the R01DS0193EJ0250 datasheet.
