Product details
Overview
R5F103A9ASP#50 from Renesas Electronics is a 30-pin LSSOP ultra-low-power 16-bit RL78/G12 microcontroller for consumer-grade embedded control, featuring 8 KB code flash, 768 B RAM, 8-channel 10-bit ADC, 1-channel UART, and operation from 1.8 V to 5.5 V at –40°C to +85°C. It delivers 31 DMIPS at 24 MHz using its high-accuracy ±5.0% on-chip oscillator and supports HALT/STOP/SNOOZE low-power modes.
For engineers reviewing the R5F103A9ASP#50 datasheet, R5F103A9ASP#50 pinout, R5F103A9ASP#50 application, or R5F103A9ASP#50 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 30-pin LSSOP package, absence of data flash memory, single UART channel, lack of DMA and safety functions (CRC/RAM guard), and suitability for cost-sensitive, battery-powered consumer control systems requiring minimal peripheral count and verified thermal stability up to +85°C.
Technical Context
The R5F103A9ASP#50 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture and 3-stage pipeline, supporting minimum instruction execution time of 0.04167 µs at 24 MHz. Its clock system integrates a high-speed on-chip oscillator (1–24 MHz, ±5.0% accuracy over –40°C to +85°C) and low-speed 15 kHz on-chip oscillator, with no external crystal oscillator support in default configuration.
Peripheral integration includes one 16-bit timer array (TAU) with 8 channels, one 12-bit interval timer, one window watchdog timer, and simplified serial interfaces limited to one UART and one CSI (Simplified SPI) channel - omitting I²C, DMA, and safety peripherals present in R5F102 variants. The device uses a fixed 30-pin LSSOP package with REGC pin requiring 0.47–1 µF decoupling to VSS.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F103A9ASP#50?
The R5F103A9ASP#50 supports a maximum system clock frequency of 24 MHz using its high-speed on-chip oscillator. At this speed, it delivers 31 DMIPS performance while maintaining 63 μA/MHz active current efficiency. External crystal oscillation up to 20 MHz is supported via X1/X2 pins, but the R5F103A9ASP#50 variant does not include the enhanced oscillator accuracy or data flash found in R5F102 counterparts.
Does the R5F103A9ASP#50 include data flash memory?
No, the R5F103A9ASP#50 does not include data flash memory. Per Renesas documentation, R5F103-series devices omit the 2 KB data flash present in R5F102-series parts. This simplifies firmware architecture by removing wear-leveling requirements but requires external non-volatile storage or code flash partitioning for parameter retention in the R5F103A9ASP#50.
What are the key differences between R5F103A9ASP#50 and R5F102AAASP#50?
The R5F103A9ASP#50 lacks data flash memory, DMA controller, CRC calculation unit, RAM guard, and SFR guard features present in the R5F102AAASP#50. Its high-speed on-chip oscillator has ±5.0% accuracy (vs. ±1.0% in R5F102), and it omits simplified I²C and second CSI channels. These omissions reduce cost and power but limit functional safety and peripheral flexibility in the R5F103A9ASP#50.
Which development tools support the R5F103A9ASP#50?
The R5F103A9ASP#50 is fully supported by Renesas e² studio IDE, CS+ (formerly CubeSuite+), and the Renesas Flash Programmer. Hardware debugging uses the on-chip debug interface via TOOLRxD/TOOLTxD pins - no external emulator required. Example projects, HAL drivers, and RL78/G12-specific application notes are available from the Renesas website for the R5F103A9ASP#50.
What is the function of the REGC pin on the R5F103A9ASP#50?
The REGC pin on the R5F103A9ASP#50 connects to an external 0.47–1 µF capacitor to VSS to stabilize the internal voltage regulator. This capacitor is mandatory for reliable operation; omission causes erratic behavior, especially during ADC conversions or low-power mode transitions. The REGC pin appears only on 30-pin RL78/G12 packages like the R5F103A9ASP#50 and must not be left floating or tied to VDD.
