Product details
Overview
R5F103A9ASP#10 from Renesas Electronics is a 30-pin LSSOP-packaged 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, 768 B RAM, 10-bit 8-channel ADC, UART0, CSI00, and TAU0 with 8 timer channels - enabling compact sensor interface and motor control in battery-powered appliances.
For engineers reviewing the R5F103A9ASP#10 datasheet, R5F103A9ASP#10 pinout, R5F103A9ASP#10 application, or R5F103A9ASP#10 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.8–5.5 V operation, STOP/HALT/SNOOZE low-power modes, absence of data flash memory, and lack of DMA or safety functions compared to R5F102 variants - critical for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical timing and I/O consolidation tasks.
Technical Context
The R5F103A9ASP#10 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, supporting minimum instruction execution time of 0.04167 µs at 24 MHz using the high-speed on-chip oscillator. Its clock system includes selectable 1–24 MHz internal oscillator (±5% accuracy over –40°C to +85°C) and external crystal support up to 20 MHz via X1/X2 pins.
Peripheral integration centers on single-channel UART0, single-channel simplified SPI (CSI00), no simplified I²C, and TAU0 timer array configured for 8 independent channels - with dedicated TI/TO pins mapped across Ports 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 14. No CRC, RAM guard, or SFR guard functions are implemented, distinguishing it from R5F102A-series counterparts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | RL78 16-bit CISC with 3-stage pipeline, 1 MB address space |
| Operating Voltage | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - enables direct Li-ion or dual-cell alkaline battery operation without regulator overhead |
| Code Flash / RAM | 8 KB flash (1 KB block size) / 768 B RAM - sufficient for firmware with moderate peripheral drivers and state machines |
| ADC | 10-bit resolution, 8 input channels, internal 1.45 V reference - supports analog sensing without external voltage reference |
| Timers | TAU0 with 8 channels, 12-bit interval timer, window watchdog - provides flexible PWM, capture, and timeout functions |
| Serial Interfaces | UART0 (1 channel), CSI00 (1 simplified SPI), no I²C - suitable for point-to-point sensor or display communication only |
| Power Modes | Halt (63 μA/MHz), Stop (0.52 μA), Snooze - extends battery life in intermittently active devices like remote controls |
Pinout & Package
Package: 30-pin plastic LSSOP (7.62 mm, 0.65-mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable with standard reflow profile.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| P20/ANI0/AVREFP | Analog input / ADC reference positive | Primary analog input or precision ADC reference source; requires clean decoupling |
| P21/ANI1/AVREFM | Analog input / ADC reference negative | Differential ADC reference pair with P20; enables ratiometric measurements |
| P10/SCK00/SCL00 | Clock output for CSI00 or I²C00 | Configurable as SPI clock or I²C clock - but I²C function disabled per R5F103 spec |
| P11/SI00/RxD0/SDA00 | Data input for CSI00 or UART0 receive | Shared serial input; UART mode selected by peripheral configuration, not pinmux hardware |
| P12/SO00/TxD0/TOOLTxD | Data output for CSI00 or UART0 transmit | Active-high UART TX or SPI SO; TOOLTxD enables debug communication during programming |
| P31/TI03/TO03/INTP4/PCLBUZ0 | Timer input/output with interrupt and buzzer | Multi-function pin supporting edge-triggered capture, PWM output, external interrupt, or programmable tone generation |
| RESET | Active-low reset input | Asynchronous reset assertion; internal pull-up ensures defined startup without external resistor |
| VDD / VSS | Power supply / ground | Dual power pins support low-noise analog/digital partitioning; REGC pin requires 0.47–1 µF capacitor to VSS |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low power consumption | 63 μA/MHz active current enables >1-year operation on CR2032 in duty-cycled sensor nodes |
| On-chip high-speed oscillator | 24 MHz option with ±5% accuracy eliminates need for external crystal in non-precision timing apps |
| Hardware multiplier/divider | 16×16→32-bit signed/unsigned multiply supports real-time scaling and filtering without software overhead |
| Programmable clock/buzzer output | PCLBUZ0/PCLBUZ1 generate precise audio tones or clock signals (2.44 kHz–10 MHz) directly from timer hardware |
| Temperature sensor & BCD correction | Integrated die temperature sensor and BCD adjust circuit reduce BOM count in metering and display applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F102AAASP#10 | Includes 2 KB data flash, DMA, CRC, RAM/SFR guard; same 30-pin LSSOP package | Required for firmware-over-the-air updates or safety-certified designs needing memory protection | Select when field firmware updates or functional safety compliance (IEC 61508 SIL-2) are mandatory |
| R5F103AAASP#10 | 16 KB code flash, same peripherals and power specs; differs only in flash capacity | Suitable for larger protocol stacks (e.g., Modbus RTU + diagnostics) without changing PCB layout | Choose for future-proofing firmware growth while retaining identical pinout and timing behavior |
Compared with R5F103A9ASP#10, R5F102AAASP#10 adds data retention and safety features at higher cost and power, while R5F103AAASP#10 trades flash headroom for identical peripheral compatibility - making both viable alternatives depending on firmware size and certification needs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F103A9ASP#10?
The R5F103A9ASP#10 supports up to 24 MHz operation using its high-speed on-chip oscillator, with minimum instruction execution time of 0.04167 µs. External crystal operation is limited to 20 MHz in HS mode (VDD ≥ 2.7 V) or 8 MHz in LS mode (VDD ≥ 1.8 V), as specified in the RL78/G12 datasheet Rev.2.50.
Does the R5F103A9ASP#10 include data flash memory?
No, the R5F103A9ASP#10 does not include data flash memory. Per Renesas documentation, data flash (2 KB) is present only in R5F102-series variants. The R5F103A9ASP#10 relies solely on its 8 KB code flash for both program storage and non-volatile parameter retention via wear-leveling software techniques.
Which serial interfaces are available on the R5F103A9ASP#10?
The R5F103A9ASP#10 provides UART0 (1 channel), simplified SPI (CSI00, 1 channel), and no simplified I²C functionality. While pin labels include SDA00/SCL00, the R5F103 variant disables I²C peripheral logic - confirmed in Section 1.3.3 of the RL78/G12 datasheet.
What is the operating temperature range for the R5F103A9ASP#10?
The R5F103A9ASP#10 is rated for TA = –40°C to +85°C, designated for consumer applications ('A' suffix). It is not qualified for industrial-grade operation up to +105°C - that capability is reserved for 'G'-suffixed variants such as R5F103A9GSP#10.
Is the R5F103A9ASP#10 pin-compatible with other RL78/G12 30-pin LSSOP variants?
Yes, the R5F103A9ASP#10 shares identical 30-pin LSSOP (PLSP0030JB-B) packaging and pin mapping with all other 30-pin RL78/G12 devices including R5F102AAASP#10 and R5F103AAASP#10. However, peripheral enablement (e.g., DMA, data flash, I²C) varies by part number and must be verified in software initialization.
