Product details
Overview
R5F10278ANA#25 from Renesas Electronics is a 24-pin HWQFN-packaged RL78/G12 16-bit microcontroller with 8 KB code flash, 2 KB data flash, and 512 B RAM, operating at 1.8–5.5 V and delivering 31 DMIPS at 24 MHz. It integrates an 8-channel 10-bit ADC, dual CSI/SPI interfaces, UART, I²C, DMA controller, and ultra-low-power STOP/HALT/SNOOZE modes-designed for battery-powered sensor nodes and industrial control panels.
For engineers reviewing the R5F10278ANA#25 datasheet, R5F10278ANA#25 pinout, R5F10278ANA#25 application, or R5F10278ANA#25 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2 KB on-chip data flash with 1M rewrite cycles, ±1.0% high-speed on-chip oscillator accuracy (–20 to +85°C), 24-pin HWQFN (4 × 4 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) package, and support for background data flash programming during active code execution.
Technical Context
The R5F10278ANA#25 implements the RL78 CPU core with a 3-stage CISC pipeline, 1 MB address space, and configurable instruction timing (0.04167 µs min @ 24 MHz). Its memory subsystem includes separate code flash (8 KB, 1 KB blocks) and data flash (2 KB, BGO-capable), enabling firmware updates and parameter storage without halting operation.
Peripheral integration centers on low-power operation: dual CSI channels support SPI-like communication with slave select handling; UART0 provides full-duplex serial; the 12-bit interval timer and window watchdog ensure deterministic timing; and the 10-bit ADC supports up to 11 channels with internal 1.45 V reference and temperature sensor-enabling self-calibrating sensing in compact embedded systems.

What are the key differences between the R5F10278ANA#25 and the R5F10378ANA#25?
The R5F10278ANA#25 includes 2 KB data flash, ±1.0% oscillator accuracy, dual CSI/SPI, dual simplified I²C, DMA controller, and safety features (CRC, RAM/SFR guard); the R5F10378ANA#25 omits data flash, has ±5.0% oscillator accuracy, only one CSI/SPI, no I²C, no DMA, and lacks safety functions-making R5F10278ANA#25 superior for reliable, feature-rich embedded control.
Which package type and pin count does the R5F10278ANA#25 use, and what are its thermal considerations?
The R5F10278ANA#25 uses a 24-pin HWQFN package (4 mm × 4 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with an exposed die pad. The pad must be soldered to a VSS-connected copper area for effective thermal dissipation and EMI suppression-ensuring stable operation under continuous 24 MHz operation at 85°C ambient.
Can the R5F10278ANA#25 operate from a single 1.8 V supply, and what analog features remain functional at that voltage?
Yes, the R5F10278ANA#25 operates across 1.8–5.5 V. At 1.8 V, its 10-bit ADC maintains full 11-channel operation with internal 1.45 V reference, temperature sensor functionality, and ±1.0% high-speed oscillator accuracy-enabling precision sensing in ultra-low-voltage battery systems.
