Product details
Overview
R5F10279GNA#05 from Renesas Electronics is a 24-pin HWQFN-packaged RL78/G12 16-bit microcontroller designed for industrial embedded control at extended temperature (–40°C to +105°C). It integrates 12 KB code flash, 2 KB data flash, 1.5 KB RAM, 10-bit 11-channel ADC, dual CSI/I²C interfaces, UART, 4-channel 16-bit TAU timer, and DMA-enabling low-power sensor node and motor control applications.
For engineers reviewing the R5F10279GNA#05 datasheet, R5F10279GNA#05 pinout, R5F10279GNA#05 application, or R5F10279GNA#05 equivalent, key selection criteria include its G-grade industrial temp rating, on-chip data flash with 1M rewrite cycles, 63 μA/MHz active power, hardware CRC, and SFR/RAM guard features-critical for robust firmware updates and safety-aware designs.
Technical Context
The R5F10279GNA#05 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, supporting instruction execution times from 0.04167 μs (@24 MHz high-speed on-chip oscillator) to 1 μs (@1 MHz), and operates across 1.8–5.5 V supply. Its memory subsystem includes 12 KB code flash (1 KB block size), 2 KB data flash with background operation (BGO), and 1.5 KB RAM with RAM guard.
Peripheral integration centers on dual simplified SPI (CSI) channels, dual simplified I²C (IIC00/IIC01), one UART0, 4-channel 16-bit timer array (TAU0), 12-bit interval timer, window watchdog, and 2-channel DMA-configured via peripheral I/O redirection register (PIOR) for flexible pin assignment in space-constrained 4×4 mm HWQFN layouts.
