Product details
Overview
R5F10378ANA#U0 from Renesas Electronics is a 24-pin HWQFN-packaged RL78/G12 16-bit microcontroller designed for ultra-low-power embedded control in consumer and industrial applications. It features 8 KB code flash, 512 B RAM, 1.8–5.5 V operation, 24 MHz high-speed on-chip oscillator (±5% accuracy), and 10-bit 8-channel ADC - deployed in battery-powered sensor nodes and smart home controllers requiring deterministic real-time response.
For engineers reviewing the R5F10378ANA#U0 datasheet, R5F10378ANA#U0 pinout, R5F10378ANA#U0 application, or R5F10378ANA#U0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 24-pin HWQFN footprint, absence of data flash memory, single UART channel, no DMA controller, and support for -40°C to +85°C ambient operation with consumer-grade qualification (A-suffix).
Technical Context
The R5F10378ANA#U0 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, 1 MB address space, and 8×8-bit register banks. Its clock system integrates a ±5% accurate 1–24 MHz high-speed on-chip oscillator and a 15 kHz low-speed oscillator, enabling HALT/STOP/SNOOZE power modes down to 63 μA/MHz.
Peripheral integration includes one 16-bit timer array (TAU0) with four channels, one watchdog timer, one 12-bit interval timer, simplified SPI (CSI00 only), UART0, and I²C-compatible IICA0 interface - all configured via peripheral I/O redirection register (PIOR) for flexible pin assignment.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F10278ANA#U0 | Includes 2 KB data flash, ±1% oscillator accuracy, DMA controller, CRC engine, and RAM guard - absent in R5F10378ANA#U0. | Required for firmware-over-the-air (FOTA) storage, high-accuracy timing-critical UART, or safety-certified checksum operations. | Select R5F10278ANA#U0 when data logging, secure boot, or ASIL-B compliance is required - otherwise R5F10378ANA#U0 offers lower cost and simpler qualification. |
| R5F10379ANA#U0 | Same package and core, but with 12 KB code flash and identical peripheral set - no data flash or DMA. | Needed for larger firmware images (e.g., Bluetooth stack + application logic) without external memory expansion. | Choose R5F10379ANA#U0 when firmware size exceeds 8 KB but data flash is unnecessary - maintains identical power profile and pin compatibility. |
Compared with R5F10278ANA#U0, the R5F10378ANA#U0 trades data flash, tighter oscillator tolerance, and safety peripherals for lower unit cost and reduced qualification overhead; versus R5F10379ANA#U0, it sacrifices 4 KB flash capacity to meet tight BOM cost targets in high-volume consumer products.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and voltage range supported by the R5F10378ANA#U0?
The R5F10378ANA#U0 operates at up to 24 MHz using its high-speed on-chip oscillator and supports a wide supply voltage range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V. This allows direct integration into systems powered by single-cell Li-ion, dual alkaline, or USB sources without external voltage regulation - and ensures reliable timing performance across battery discharge curves in portable R5F10378ANA#U0 designs.
Does the R5F10378ANA#U0 include data flash memory?
No, the R5F10378ANA#U0 does not include data flash memory. Unlike the R5F102xx series, the R5F103xx family omits the 2 KB data flash block - meaning non-volatile parameter storage must be implemented externally or in code flash with wear-leveling software. This omission reduces cost and simplifies qualification for R5F10378ANA#U0 in high-volume consumer applications where field firmware updates are not required.
How many UART, SPI, and I²C interfaces does the R5F10378ANA#U0 support?
The R5F10378ANA#U0 supports one UART channel (UART0), one simplified SPI interface (CSI00), and one I²C-compatible interface (IICA0). It does not include simplified I²C (IIC00/IIC01) or additional UART/CSI channels found in higher-pin-count or R5F102xx variants - making it ideal for point-to-point communication in compact nodes where protocol diversity is secondary to power and cost efficiency in R5F10378ANA#U0 implementations.
What power-saving modes are available on the R5F10378ANA#U0?
The R5F10378ANA#U0 supports HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE low-power modes. HALT stops the CPU while peripherals remain active; STOP disables the high-speed oscillator and most peripherals, drawing just 0.55 μA; SNOOZE allows selected peripherals (e.g., ADC, UART) to operate autonomously while the CPU sleeps - enabling event-driven wake-up with minimal latency in R5F10378ANA#U0 battery-powered applications.
Is the R5F10378ANA#U0 pin-compatible with other RL78/G12 devices in the 24-pin HWQFN package?
Yes, the R5F10378ANA#U0 shares identical pinout and package dimensions (HWQFN-24, 4 × 4 mm) with all other RL78/G12 24-pin variants including R5F1027x and R5F1037x families. However, functional differences exist - such as absence of DMA, data flash, or simplified I²C - so firmware and schematic design must align with R5F10378ANA#U0's specific peripheral set despite mechanical compatibility.
