Product details
Overview
R5F103A7DSP#50 from Renesas Electronics is a 30-pin LSSOP packaged 16-bit RL78/G12 microcontroller designed for ultra-low-power embedded control in consumer-grade applications (–40°C to +85°C). It integrates 2 KB code flash, 256 B RAM, 10-bit 8-channel ADC, single UART, and one simplified SPI (CSI) channel, operating from 1.8 V to 5.5 V with 63 μA/MHz active current consumption.
For engineers reviewing the R5F103A7DSP#50 datasheet, R5F103A7DSP#50 pinout, R5F103A7DSP#50 application, or R5F103A7DSP#50 equivalent, this device serves as a cost-optimized, low-pin-count MCU for battery-powered sensors, appliance controls, and simple industrial HMI where data flash, DMA, or multiple serial interfaces are not required.
Technical Context
The R5F103A7DSP#50 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, supporting minimum instruction execution time of 0.04167 µs at 24 MHz (high-speed on-chip oscillator) and 1 MB address space. It lacks data flash memory and DMA controller-key differentiators from R5F102-series variants-and uses only the high-speed on-chip oscillator (±5% accuracy over –40°C to +85°C) without external crystal support in default configuration.
Its peripheral set includes 8-channel 10-bit ADC with internal reference (1.45 V), 4-channel 16-bit TAU timer with PWM capability, watchdog and interval timers, on-chip power-on-reset and voltage detector (12-level LVD), and key interrupt support across 6 pins. I/O count is 26 total, including 9 CMOS I/O with configurable pull-up and TTL input buffers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | RL78 16-bit CISC CPU with 3-stage pipeline; enables deterministic real-time control with 31 DMIPS @ 24 MHz. |
| Memory Configuration | 2 KB code flash (1 KB block size), 256 B RAM; sufficient for small firmware images with no data logging or parameter storage. |
| Operating Voltage | 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply range; supports direct connection to Li-ion, alkaline, or regulated 3.3 V/5 V rails without level-shifting. |
| Power Consumption | 63 μA/MHz active current; reduces battery drain in always-on sensor nodes and portable devices. |
| ADC Capability | 10-bit resolution, 8 input channels, internal 1.45 V reference; enables accurate analog sensing of temperature, voltage, or resistive sensors. |

| P20/ANI0/AVREFP | Analog Input / ADC Reference+ | Primary analog input channel; also supplies positive reference for internal ADC-must be stable and filtered. |
| P21/ANI1/AVREFM | Analog Input / ADC Reference− | Second analog input; doubles as negative ADC reference-enables differential measurement mode. |
| P40/TOOL0 | Debug Interface I/O | Used for on-chip debugging during development; not intended for production signal routing. |
| REGC | Regulator Capacitor Terminal | Connects to VSS via 0.47–1 µF capacitor; stabilizes internal voltage regulator for analog/ADC performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low-power HALT/STOP/SNOOZE modes | Reduces current to sub-μA levels during idle; extends battery life in intermittent-sensing applications. |

| 10-bit 8-channel ADC with internal 1.45 V reference | Enables precise analog measurements without external reference IC or calibration circuitry. |
| 4-channel 16-bit timer with PWM output | Supports motor speed control, LED brightness adjustment, or timing-critical event generation in firmware. |
| 12-level voltage detector (LVD) | Provides programmable brown-out detection and reset; prevents erratic behavior during supply droop. |
| On-chip debug interface (via TOOL0/TOOLRxD/TOOLTxD) | Allows in-circuit programming and real-time debugging without JTAG adapter-reduces development cost. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F102A7DSP#50 | Includes 2 KB data flash, DMA controller, CRC engine, and higher oscillator accuracy (±1.0%) | Required for firmware-over-the-air updates, cyclic redundancy checks, or background data logging | Select when non-volatile parameter storage or enhanced safety features are mandatory |
| R5F103AAASP#V0 | Same RL78/G12 core but in 20-pin LSSOP; 16 KB code flash, 2 KB RAM, same peripheral set | Suitable for space-constrained designs needing more memory but fewer I/O lines | Choose for compact PCB layouts where 26 GPIOs are unnecessary and higher code density is needed |
Compared with R5F103A7DSP#50, R5F102A7DSP#50 adds data flash and safety peripherals at higher cost and power, while R5F103AAASP#V0 trades I/O count for memory headroom in smaller footprint-both require PCB redesign due to pin count and package differences.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F103A7DSP#50?
The R5F103A7DSP#50 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 up to 20 MHz is possible but requires additional components and is not enabled by default in this variant.
Does the R5F103A7DSP#50 include data flash memory?
No, the R5F103A7DSP#50 does not include data flash memory. As confirmed in Renesas documentation (R01DS0193EJ0250, Section 1.3.1), R5F103-series devices omit the 2 KB data flash found in R5F102-series counterparts. Firmware must store parameters in code flash or external memory.
What package type and pin count does the R5F103A7DSP#50 use?
The R5F103A7DSP#50 uses a 30-pin plastic LSSOP package (7.62 mm width, 0.65-mm pitch), identified by the "SP" suffix and "#50" embossed tape packaging code. It provides 26 usable I/O pins, including analog inputs, UART, and timer resources.
Can the R5F103A7DSP#50 operate from a 1.8 V supply?
Yes, the R5F103A7DSP#50 is fully specified to operate from 1.8 V to 5.5 V. At 1.8 V, it supports up to 8 MHz system clock (LS mode) and maintains full functionality of ADC, timers, and UART-making it suitable for single-cell lithium or alkaline battery systems.
Is the R5F103A7DSP#50 pin-compatible with other RL78/G12 variants?
No, the R5F103A7DSP#50 is not pin-compatible with 20-pin or 24-pin RL78/G12 variants due to its 30-pin LSSOP footprint. While functional overlap exists with R5F103AAx series, physical layout changes are required for substitution-no drop-in replacement is supported across pin counts.
