Product details
Overview
R5F10378ANA#U5 from Renesas Electronics is a 24-pin 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, 512 B RAM, 10-bit 8-channel ADC, 4-channel 16-bit TAU timer, UART, CSI, and operates at 1.8–5.5 V with 63 μA/MHz active current - used in battery-powered sensor nodes and smart home peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the R5F10378ANA#U5 datasheet, R5F10378ANA#U5 pinout, R5F10378ANA#U5 application, or R5F10378ANA#U5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its HWQFN-24 package, absence of data flash memory, single UART channel, no DMA controller, and ±5.0% high-speed on-chip oscillator accuracy over –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The R5F10378ANA#U5 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, 1 MB address space, and supports HS/LS clock modes using either external crystal (1–20 MHz) or internal oscillator (1–24 MHz). Its peripheral set excludes data flash, DMA, CRC, and safety guards found in R5F102 variants.
It delivers 31 DMIPS at 24 MHz, features 22 I/O pins (including 5 N-ch open-drain), supports background operation only for code flash self-programming (not data flash), and uses dedicated low-speed on-chip oscillator (15 kHz) for watchdog timer operation independent of main clock.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | RL78 16-bit CISC with 3-stage pipeline; enables deterministic real-time control with 0.04167 µs min instruction time @24 MHz |
| Memory | 8 KB code flash (1 KB block size), 512 B RAM; no data flash - eliminates background rewrite capability and flash shield window function |
| Operating Voltage | 1.8 V to 5.5 V; supports direct interface with 1.8/2.5/3.3 V logic without level shifters |
| Power Consumption | 63 μA/MHz active current; HALT/STOP/SNOOZE modes enable sub-μA sleep for multi-year battery life in sensing applications |
| ADC | 10-bit resolution, 8 input channels, internal 1.45 V reference; suitable for resistive sensor signal acquisition without external reference |
| Oscillator Accuracy | ±5.0% over –40°C to +85°C for high-speed on-chip oscillator; requires external crystal for timing-critical UART or synchronous serial comms |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C (A-grade); qualified for consumer electronics, white goods, and industrial HMI front-ends |
Pinout & Package
Package: HWQFN-24, 4 mm × 4 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, exposed die pad (to be connected to VSS).

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F10378ANA#U5?
The R5F10378ANA#U5 supports a maximum system clock frequency of 24 MHz using the high-speed on-chip oscillator or 20 MHz with an external crystal. At 24 MHz, it delivers 31 DMIPS performance while maintaining 63 μA/MHz active current consumption - verified in the R01DS0193EJ0250 datasheet Rev.2.50.
Does the R5F10378ANA#U5 include data flash memory?
No, the R5F10378ANA#U5 does not include data flash memory. As confirmed in Section 1.3.1 of the RL78/G12 datasheet, R5F103 products omit the 2 KB data flash present in R5F102 variants. This means background operation (BGO) for data rewriting and flash shield window functions are unavailable in the R5F10378ANA#U5.
What package type and pin count does the R5F10378ANA#U5 use?
The R5F10378ANA#U5 uses a 24-pin HWQFN package (4 mm × 4 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with an exposed die pad. This is explicitly defined in Figure 1-1 and Table 1-1 of the R01DS0193EJ0250 datasheet, where "7" denotes 24-pin and "NA" indicates HWQFN packaging.
Can the R5F10378ANA#U5 operate from a 1.8 V supply?
Yes, the R5F10378ANA#U5 supports full functionality from 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply voltage. The datasheet specifies operation down to 1.8 V in LS (low-speed main) mode at up to 8 MHz, enabling compatibility with single-cell Li-ion or alkaline battery systems without voltage regulation.
How many UART interfaces does the R5F10378ANA#U5 support?
The R5F10378ANA#U5 supports exactly one UART interface (UART0), as documented in Section 1.7 Outline of Functions and confirmed in the peripheral comparison table on page 6 of the R01DS0193EJ0250 datasheet. Additional serial communication must use CSI or I²C peripherals.
