Product details
Overview
R5F10279ANA#45 from Renesas Electronics is a 24-pin HWQFN-packaged RL78/G12 16-bit microcontroller designed for ultra-low-power embedded control in consumer and industrial applications. It integrates 12 KB code flash, 2 KB data flash, 1.5 KB RAM, 10-bit A/D converter (11 channels), and dual-channel DMA - operating at 1.8–5.5 V with 63 μA/MHz active current consumption and support for HALT/STOP/SNOOZE power modes.
For engineers reviewing the R5F10279ANA#45 datasheet, R5F10279ANA#45 pinout, R5F10279ANA#45 application, or R5F10279ANA#45 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-validated pin functions, real-world use scenarios, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application-level differences.
Technical Context
The R5F10279ANA#45 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture and 3-stage pipeline, delivering 31 DMIPS at 24 MHz.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding power consumption of the R5F10279ANA#45?
The R5F10279ANA#45 operates at up to 24 MHz using its high-speed on-chip oscillator, achieving 31 DMIPS performance. At this frequency, its typical active current is 63 μA per MHz - resulting in approximately 1.51 mA total at 24 MHz with VDD = 3.3 V. Power consumption scales linearly with clock speed, allowing dynamic voltage and frequency scaling to minimize energy use in variable-load applications.
Does the R5F10279ANA#45 support in-system programming and field firmware updates?
Yes, the R5F10279ANA#45 supports in-system programming via its on-chip debug interface and includes a flash shield window function to protect code during updates. Its 2 KB data flash enables background operation (BGO), allowing the R5F10279ANA#45 to execute application code while rewriting data flash - essential for reliable over-the-air firmware updates without system interruption.
How many analog input channels does the R5F10279ANA#45 provide, and what reference options are available?
The R5F10279ANA#45 provides 11 analog input channels (ANI0–ANI3, ANI16–ANI22). It supports three reference configurations: external reference via AVREFP/AVREFM pins, internal 1.45 V reference, or VDD as reference. The internal temperature sensor is connected to ANI22, enabling direct thermal monitoring without external components.
What safety features are implemented in the R5F10279ANA#45 that distinguish it from the R5F10379ANA#45?
The R5F10279ANA#45 includes CRC calculation unit, RAM guard, and SFR guard - hardware features absent in the R5F10379ANA#45. These detect memory corruption, prevent unauthorized register writes, and ensure data integrity in safety-critical applications such as smart meters and industrial controllers, where R5F10279ANA#45 meets higher functional safety requirements.
Is the R5F10279ANA#45 pin-compatible with other RL78/G12 24-pin variants like R5F10277ANA#45 or R5F10278ANA#45?
Yes, the R5F10279ANA#45 is fully pin-compatible with all other 24-pin RL78/G12 variants in the R5F1027x family (e.g., R5F10277ANA#45, R5F10278ANA#45) and shares identical HWQFN-24 (PWQN0024KE-A/PWQN0024KF-A) packaging, pinout, and peripheral mapping - enabling seamless memory-scaling upgrades on the same PCB layout.
