Overview
R5F102A8ASP#50 from Renesas Electronics is a 30-pin LSSOP packaged RL78/G12 16-bit microcontroller designed for ultra-low-power embedded control in consumer-grade applications (–40°C to +85°C). It integrates 8 KB code flash, 2 KB data flash, 512 B RAM, a 10-bit 8-channel ADC, and dual UART/CSI/I²C serial interfaces - enabling compact sensor node and appliance control designs with background data flash rewriting capability.
For engineers reviewing the R5F102A8ASP#50 datasheet, R5F102A8ASP#50 pinout, R5F102A8ASP#50 application, or R5F102A8ASP#50 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, real-world use scenarios, validated alternatives, and supply-chain support tailored for industrial OEMs and connected-device developers requiring long-lifecycle, low-voltage (1.8–5.5 V) MCU solutions.
Technical Context
The R5F102A8ASP#50 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, delivering 31 DMIPS at 24 MHz while consuming only 63 μA/MHz. Its peripheral set includes an 8-channel 10-bit ADC with internal 1.45 V reference, two independent UART channels (UART0 and UART1), one CSI channel, one I²C channel, and eight 16-bit TAU timer channels supporting PWM output.
It features dual flash memory architecture: 8 KB code flash (1 KB block size) with self-programming and flash shield window security, plus 2 KB data flash with background operation (BGO) and 1,000,000 write cycles (TYP). Power management includes HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE modes, on-chip POR/LVD, and high-accuracy ±1.0% high-speed on-chip oscillator (1–24 MHz).

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and power consumption of the R5F102A8ASP#50?
The R5F102A8ASP#50 operates up to 24 MHz with a true low-power platform achieving 63 μA/MHz active current. At 24 MHz and 3.3 V, typical active current is ~1.5 mA. In STOP mode, it draws just 0.52 μA - enabling multi-year battery life in intermittent-sensing applications. These values are measured per Renesas R01DS0193EJ0250 Rev.2.50 specification.
Does the R5F102A8ASP#50 include data flash memory, and what is its endurance?
Yes, the R5F102A8ASP#50 includes 2 KB of dedicated data flash memory supporting background operation (BGO). It guarantees 1,000,000 write/erase cycles (TYP) across the full 1.8–5.5 V VDD range, enabling reliable parameter storage and firmware update staging without halting application execution.
How many UART interfaces does the R5F102A8ASP#50 support, and are they independent?
The R5F102A8ASP#50 supports two fully independent UART interfaces: UART0 (P11/P12) and UART1 (P00/P01). Each has its own baud rate generator, FIFO, and interrupt vector - allowing simultaneous communication with a host MCU and a peripheral module (e.g., BLE or LoRa) without resource contention.
What package type and pin count does the R5F102A8ASP#50 use?
The R5F102A8ASP#50 uses a 30-pin plastic LSSOP package (PLSP0030JB-B), measuring 7.62 mm × 4.4 mm with 0.65 mm pitch. It provides 26 GPIO pins, including 8 analog inputs, multiple timer outputs, and configurable serial function pins - balancing density, thermal performance, and hand-solderability.
Is the R5F102A8ASP#50 qualified for industrial temperature range?
No - the R5F102A8ASP#50 is rated for consumer applications with an operating ambient temperature range of –40°C to +85°C (suffix "A"). For industrial-grade operation up to +105°C, Renesas offers the R5F102A8GSP#50 (suffix "G"), which shares identical electrical and functional specifications but is qualified to the extended temperature grade.
