Product details
Overview
R5F102A8ASP#10 from Renesas Electronics is a 30-pin LSSOP-packaged RL78/G12 16-bit MCU 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 UART/CSI/I²C serial interfaces, 8-channel TAU timer, DMA controller, and CRC engine - deployed in battery-powered industrial sensor nodes requiring low-power operation and on-the-fly data logging.
For engineers reviewing the R5F102A8ASP#10 datasheet, R5F102A8ASP#10 pinout, R5F102A8ASP#10 application, or R5F102A8ASP#10 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2 KB data flash with background operation (BGO), 63 μA/MHz active current, 30-pin LSSOP package with REGC regulator capacitor support, and A-grade temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) for consumer and industrial edge devices.
Technical Context
The R5F102A8ASP#10 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, 1 MB address space, and configurable instruction timing (0.04167 μs min @ 24 MHz). Its clock system combines high-speed on-chip oscillator (±1.0% accuracy from −20°C to +85°C), low-speed 15 kHz on-chip oscillator, and external crystal support up to 20 MHz via X1/X2 pins.
Peripheral integration includes two SAU channels supporting UART/CSI/I²C protocols, 8-channel TAU0 timer with PWM capability, 12-bit interval timer, window watchdog, and dedicated hardware for BCD correction and multiply-accumulate operations - all managed through vectored interrupt sources (26 internal, 6 external) and on-chip debug interface.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding DMIPS rating for the R5F102A8ASP#10?
The R5F102A8ASP#10 achieves a maximum system clock of 24 MHz using its high-speed on-chip oscillator, delivering 31 DMIPS of processing performance. This rating is measured under standard conditions (VDD = 2.7–5.5 V, TA = −40°C to +85°C) and reflects the RL78 core's efficiency in executing 16-bit instructions with 3-stage pipelining. The R5F102A8ASP#10 maintains this performance across its full 1.8–5.5 V supply range.
Does the R5F102A8ASP#10 support background data flash rewriting while executing application code?
Yes, the R5F102A8ASP#10 supports Background Operation (BGO) for its 2 KB data flash memory. This allows the CPU to execute instructions from code flash while simultaneously erasing or programming data flash sectors - essential for reliable firmware updates and non-volatile parameter storage without interrupting real-time operation. The R5F102A8ASP#10 implements this using dedicated flash control hardware and library support per RL78 Family Data Flash Library Type04.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for the REGC pin on the R5F102A8ASP#10?
The REGC pin on the R5F102A8ASP#10 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of −0.3 V to +2.0 V relative to VSS, and −0.3 V to VDD + 0.3 V. It must be connected to VSS via a 0.47–1.0 μF capacitor; applying voltage directly to REGC violates absolute maximum ratings and risks permanent damage. This specification is explicitly defined in the RL78/G12 datasheet Section 2.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings and applies uniquely to 30-pin LSSOP variants like the R5F102A8ASP#10.
How many serial communication interfaces does the R5F102A8ASP#10 support, and what types are they?
The R5F102A8ASP#10 supports three serial interface types: one UART channel, one simplified SPI (CSI) channel, and one simplified I²C channel - all implemented within the SAU0 peripheral. These interfaces share pins and are configurable via the Peripheral I/O Redirection Register (PIOR), enabling flexible routing to different port pins. Unlike 20/24-pin variants, the 30-pin R5F102A8ASP#10 does not support dual CSI or dual I²C instances.
Is the R5F102A8ASP#10 pin-compatible with other RL78/G12 30-pin variants such as R5F102AAASP#10?
Yes, the R5F102A8ASP#10 is pin-compatible with all RL78/G12 30-pin LSSOP variants including R5F102AAASP#10, R5F102A9ASP#10, and R5F102A7ASP#10. They share identical 30-pin LSSOP package (PLSP0030JB-B), identical pin functions, and identical electrical characteristics. Memory differences (16 KB vs. 8 KB vs. 4 KB code flash) do not affect pin behavior, allowing drop-in replacement in PCB layouts where firmware accommodates memory size variation.
