Product details
Overview
R5F103A8DSP#V0 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 8 KB code flash, 512 B RAM, 10-bit 8-channel ADC, 8-channel 16-bit TAU timer, and single UART/CSI/I²C serial interfaces - enabling compact sensor node and appliance control designs.
For engineers reviewing the R5F103A8DSP#V0 datasheet, R5F103A8DSP#V0 pinout, R5F103A8DSP#V0 application, or R5F103A8DSP#V0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8 KB flash / 512 B RAM configuration, absence of data flash memory, 1-channel UART-only serial capability, and LSSOP-30 package with 26 I/O pins - all critical for cost-sensitive, low-power MCU replacement or new design validation.
Technical Context
The R5F103A8DSP#V0 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, supporting instruction execution times from 0.04167 µs (24 MHz on-chip oscillator) to 1 µs (1 MHz), and operates across 1.8–5.5 V supply. Its peripheral set excludes DMA, CRC, RAM/SFR guard, and data flash - distinguishing it from R5F102-series variants.
It features a high-speed on-chip oscillator (±5.0% accuracy at –40°C to +85°C), 12-bit interval timer, window watchdog timer, on-chip power-on-reset and voltage detector (12-level LVD), and supports key interrupt, buzzer/clock output, and programmable I/O redirection via PIOR register - optimized for deterministic real-time control without external timing components.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 30-pin plastic LSSOP (7.62 mm × 10.16 mm, 0.65 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, surface-mount compatible.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| P20/ANI0/AVREFP | Analog input / ADC reference positive | Primary analog reference input; must be decoupled for stable 10-bit conversion accuracy |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F103A8DSP#V0?
The R5F103A8DSP#V0 supports a maximum system clock frequency of 24 MHz using its high-speed on-chip oscillator. When driven by an external crystal (X1), the maximum permissible frequency is 20 MHz for VDD ≥ 2.7 V or 8 MHz for VDD ≥ 1.8 V. Instruction execution time ranges from 0.04167 µs (24 MHz) to 1 µs (1 MHz), confirmed in the RL78/G12 datasheet Rev.2.50.
Does the R5F103A8DSP#V0 include data flash memory?
No, the R5F103A8DSP#V0 does not include data flash memory. This is a defining distinction from the R5F102-series variants (e.g., R5F102A8DSP#V0), which integrate 2 KB of data flash. The R5F103A8DSP#V0 relies solely on its 8 KB code flash for program and constant storage, with no dedicated non-volatile data retention area.
How many serial communication interfaces does the R5F103A8DSP#V0 support?
The R5F103A8DSP#V0 supports exactly one UART channel, one CSI (SPI-compatible) channel, and zero I²C channels. This configuration is fixed for all R5F103Ax 30-pin variants per the RL78/G12 datasheet Section 1.7. Unlike R5F102Ax parts, it lacks simplified I²C and second CSI channels - limiting multi-peripheral daisy-chaining capability.
What is the I/O count and analog input capability of the R5F103A8DSP#V0?
The R5F103A8DSP#V0 provides 26 total I/O pins in its LSSOP-30 package, including 8 dedicated analog input channels (ANI0–ANI3, ANI16–ANI19). Two pins (P20, P21) serve dual roles as AVREFP/AVREFM for the 10-bit ADC, and nine pins support N-ch open-drain outputs with VDD-tolerant voltage rating - enabling direct interfacing with 3.3 V or 5 V peripherals.
Is the R5F103A8DSP#V0 pin-compatible with other RL78/G12 30-pin variants?
Yes, the R5F103A8DSP#V0 shares identical pinout and package (LSSOP-30) with all other RL78/G12 30-pin variants including R5F102Ax, R5F103Ax, and R5F102A9/R5F103A9 series. Pin functions are consistent across the family, though peripheral availability (e.g., data flash, DMA, I²C) varies - requiring firmware adaptation but no PCB redesign when migrating within the 30-pin footprint.
