FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding instruction speed of the R5F102A8ASP#30?
The R5F102A8ASP#30 supports a maximum high-speed on-chip oscillator frequency of 24 MHz, achieving a minimum instruction execution time of 0.04167 µs. When using the external crystal oscillator (X1), the maximum system clock is 20 MHz (VDD ≥ 2.7 V) or 8 MHz (VDD ≥ 1.8 V), yielding 0.05 µs minimum instruction time. These values are confirmed in the RL78/G12 datasheet Rev.2.50 Section 1.1 and Table 1-1.
Does the R5F102A8ASP#30 include on-chip data flash memory, and what are its endurance specifications?
Yes, the R5F102A8ASP#30 includes 2 KB of on-chip data flash memory rated for 1,000,000 write/erase cycles (typical) across the full 1.8–5.5 V VDD range. It supports background operation (BGO), allowing program execution from code flash while rewriting data flash - a capability confirmed in Section 1.1 "Features" and Section 1.3.1 of the R01DS0193EJ0250 datasheet.
What are the key differences between the R5F102A8ASP#30 and the R5F103A8ASP#30?
The R5F102A8ASP#30 includes 2 KB data flash, ±1.0% high-speed oscillator accuracy, DMA controller (2 channels), and hardware CRC - features absent in the R5F103A8ASP#30. Both share identical 30-pin LSSOP packaging, 8 KB code flash, and peripheral count, but R5F103A8ASP#30 targets lower-cost applications where data persistence and high-precision timing are unnecessary.
How many analog input channels does the R5F102A8ASP#30 support, and what reference options are available?
The R5F102A8ASP#30 supports 8 analog input channels (ANI0–ANI3, ANI16–ANI19) with selectable 10-bit or 8-bit resolution. Reference options include internal 1.45 V bandgap reference, external differential reference (AVREFP/AVREFM pins), or VDD as reference - all operable across the 1.8–5.5 V supply range per Section 1.1 and Figure 1-10 of the datasheet.
What power-saving modes are supported by the R5F102A8ASP#30, and what are their typical current draws?
The R5F102A8ASP#30 supports HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE modes. Active-mode current is 63 μA/MHz at 24 MHz; HALT mode draws ~1.2 μA; STOP mode consumes less than 0.5 μA (typical); SNOOZE mode maintains selected peripherals (e.g., UART, RTC) while CPU sleeps - values specified in Section 1.1 "Ultra-low power consumption technology" and electrical characteristics tables.
