Product details
Overview
R5F10368ASM#75 from Renesas Electronics is a 20-pin TSSOP-packaged RL78/G12 16-bit microcontroller designed for ultra-low-power general-purpose embedded control. It features 8 KB code flash, 512 B RAM, 10-bit 8-channel ADC, 4-channel 16-bit timer, and operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V at –40°C to +85°C - deployed in battery-powered sensor nodes and industrial HMI panels.
For engineers reviewing the R5F10368ASM#75 datasheet, R5F10368ASM#75 pinout, R5F10368ASM#75 application, or R5F10368ASM#75 equivalent, key selection criteria include its single UART channel, absence of data flash and DMA, TSSOP-20 package compatibility, and ±5.0% high-speed on-chip oscillator accuracy over industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The R5F10368ASM#75 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, 1 MB address space, and minimum instruction execution time of 0.04167 µs at 24 MHz (high-speed on-chip oscillator). It supports HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE low-power modes with 63 µA/MHz active current consumption.
Its peripheral set includes one UART channel, one simplified SPI (CSI) channel, no simplified I²C, 8-channel 10-bit ADC with internal 1.45 V reference, and programmable clock/buzzer output - all configured via dedicated SFRs and peripheral I/O redirection register (PIOR), with no CRC, RAM guard, or SFR guard functions present.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F10368ASM#75?
The R5F10368ASM#75 supports a maximum system clock frequency of 24 MHz using its high-speed on-chip oscillator. This yields 31 DMIPS performance and a minimum instruction execution time of 0.04167 µs. External crystal operation is limited to 20 MHz (1.0–20.0 MHz range), and low-speed on-chip oscillator runs at 15 kHz for ultra-low-power standby modes. The R5F10368ASM#75 does not support overclocking beyond these specifications.
Does the R5F10368ASM#75 include data flash memory?
No, the R5F10368ASM#75 does not include data flash memory. As confirmed in the RL78/G12 datasheet Section 1.3.1, data flash (2 KB) is mounted only on R5F102 products - the R5F103 series, including R5F10368ASM#75, omits this feature. Firmware must use code flash for parameter storage or rely on external EEPROM/FRAM if nonvolatile data retention is required.
What are the key differences between R5F10368ASM#75 and R5F10268ASM#75?
The R5F10368ASM#75 and R5F10268ASM#75 share identical package (TSSOP-20), code flash (8 KB), RAM (512 B), and pinout. Key differences are: (1) R5F10268ASM#75 includes 2 KB data flash and 2-channel DMA; (2) R5F10268ASM#75 has ±1.0% oscillator accuracy vs. ±5.0% for R5F10368ASM#75; (3) R5F10268ASM#75 supports CRC, RAM guard, and SFR guard - absent in R5F10368ASM#75.
Can the R5F10368ASM#75 operate across the full industrial temperature range?
Yes, the R5F10368ASM#75 is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial temperature requirements. Its ordering code suffix "A" denotes consumer/industrial grade (not "G", which extends to +105°C). All electrical specifications - including oscillator accuracy (±5.0%), ADC performance, and I/O drive strength - are guaranteed across this full range per datasheet Section 2.1.
How many serial communication interfaces does the R5F10368ASM#75 support?
The R5F10368ASM#75 supports exactly one UART channel (UART0), one simplified SPI (CSI) channel (CSI00), and zero simplified I²C channels. It includes one full I²C bus (IICA0) but no simplified I²C (IIC00/IIC01) - a distinction confirmed in Section 1.7 of the datasheet. This configuration suits applications needing basic host communication and one synchronous peripheral interface without I²C bus contention.
