FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding DMIPS rating of the R5F10278ANA#65?
The R5F10278ANA#65 operates at up to 24 MHz using its high-accuracy on-chip oscillator and delivers 31 DMIPS of processing performance. This benchmark reflects actual integer compute throughput measured under RL78 core architecture constraints, enabling responsive real-time control in applications such as motor drivers and sensor fusion engines where deterministic timing matters.
Does the R5F10278ANA#65 support background data flash rewriting while executing application code?
Yes, the R5F10278ANA#65 supports background operation (BGO) for its 2 KB data flash memory. This allows the CPU to execute instructions from program memory while simultaneously rewriting data flash - essential for implementing non-disruptive firmware parameter updates, calibration storage, or event logging in deployed systems without service interruption.
What are the key low-power modes supported by the R5F10278ANA#65 and their typical current consumption?
The R5F10278ANA#65 supports HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE modes with active current as low as 63 µA/MHz. In STOP mode, current drops to sub-µA levels, and SNOOZE enables selective peripheral wake-up (e.g., UART receive or ADC trigger) while keeping CPU halted - making it ideal for battery-operated remote controls and environmental monitors requiring multi-year operation.
How many analog input channels and what ADC resolution does the R5F10278ANA#65 provide?
The R5F10278ANA#65 integrates an 11-channel, 10-bit successive-approximation ADC with internal 1.45 V reference voltage and dedicated AVREFP/AVREFM pins. This configuration supports ratiometric measurements with external sensors and delivers sufficient resolution for temperature monitoring, potentiometer reading, and basic battery voltage supervision in consumer and industrial edge devices.
Is the R5F10278ANA#65 pin-compatible with other RL78/G12 variants in the same 24-pin HWQFN package?
Yes, the R5F10278ANA#65 shares identical pinout and package (HWQFN-24, PWQN0024KF-A) with all R5F1027xANA#xx and R5F1037xANA#xx variants. This enables drop-in replacement within the same family - for example, upgrading to R5F10279ANA#65 for more flash or downgrading to R5F10378ANA#65 for cost reduction - provided firmware and peripheral usage align with the target variant's feature set.
