Product details
Overview
R5F10368ASM#35 from Renesas Electronics is a 20-pin RL78/G12 16-bit microcontroller designed for ultra-low-power general-purpose embedded control, featuring 8 KB code flash, 512 B RAM, 1.8–5.5 V operation, and 31 DMIPS at 24 MHz. It integrates an 8-channel 10-bit ADC, UART, simplified SPI (CSI), on-chip high-speed oscillator (±5% accuracy), and operates across –40°C to +85°C for consumer and industrial applications.
For engineers reviewing the R5F10368ASM#35 datasheet, R5F10368ASM#35 pinout, R5F10368ASM#35 application, or R5F10368ASM#35 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package mapping, real-world use scenarios, and validated alternative options - all grounded in Renesas' official R01DS0193EJ0250 Rev.2.50 specification.
Technical Context
The R5F10368ASM#35 implements the RL78 CPU core with a 3-stage CISC pipeline, supporting minimum instruction execution time of 0.04167 µs at 24 MHz (high-speed on-chip oscillator) and address space up to 1 MB. It uses a single-supply architecture with HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE low-power modes enabling 63 µA/MHz active current consumption.
Unlike R5F102-series variants, this part omits data flash memory (0 KB), DMA controller, CRC, RAM guard, and simplified I²C - confirming its role as a cost-optimized, entry-level RL78/G12 variant for deterministic real-time control without background data logging or safety-critical integrity features.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F10368ASM#35?
The R5F10368ASM#35 supports a maximum system clock frequency of 24 MHz using its on-chip high-speed oscillator, delivering 31 DMIPS performance. When using an external crystal (X1/X2), the maximum frequency is 20 MHz under 2.7–5.5 V operation or 8 MHz under 1.8–2.4 V operation - all within the specified –40°C to +85°C ambient range.
Does the R5F10368ASM#35 include data flash memory?
No, the R5F10368ASM#35 does not include data flash memory. As confirmed in Renesas' R01DS0193EJ0250 Rev.2.50 datasheet Section 1.3.1, only R5F102-series parts feature 2 KB of data flash; R5F103-series parts like the R5F10368ASM#35 omit this block entirely, relying solely on code flash for non-volatile storage.
What package type and pin count does the R5F10368ASM#35 use?
The R5F10368ASM#35 uses a 20-pin plastic TSSOP package (4.4 × 6.5 mm, 0.65-mm pitch), identified by the "SM" suffix and JEDEC standard PTSP0020JI-A. This surface-mount package supports automated assembly and provides 18 usable I/O pins including analog inputs, UART, SPI, timers, and key return functionality.
Can the R5F10368ASM#35 operate from a 1.8 V supply?
Yes, the R5F10368ASM#35 is fully specified to operate from 1.8 V to 5.5 V. At 1.8 V, it supports low-speed main (LS) mode up to 8 MHz and retains full functionality including ADC (with internal 1.45 V reference), UART, timers, and low-power modes - making it suitable for coin-cell or energy-harvesting applications.
How many analog input channels does the R5F10368ASM#35 support?
The R5F10368ASM#35 supports 8 analog input channels: ANI0 through ANI3 and ANI16 through ANI22. These are mapped to physical pins P20–P23 and P40–P42, with internal reference voltage (1.45 V) and temperature sensor integration - enabling direct thermal and voltage monitoring without external components.
