Product details
Overview
R5F103A9ASP#V0 from Renesas Electronics is a 30-pin LSSOP-packaged RL78/G12 16-bit microcontroller designed for ultra-low-power general-purpose embedded control. It features 8 KB code flash, 768 B RAM, 8-channel 10-bit A/D converter, 1-channel UART, and operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V across –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature - deployed in battery-powered sensor nodes and industrial HMI panels.
For engineers reviewing the R5F103A9ASP#V0 datasheet, R5F103A9ASP#V0 pinout, R5F103A9ASP#V0 application, or R5F103A9ASP#V0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its absence of data flash memory, reduced serial interface count (no Simplified I²C), lack of DMA, and ±5.0% high-speed on-chip oscillator accuracy at industrial temperature range - all critical for deterministic timing and firmware update architecture decisions.
Technical Context
The R5F103A9ASP#V0 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture, 3-stage pipeline, and 1 MB address space. It supports HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE low-power modes, achieving 63 μA/MHz active current consumption at 24 MHz operation using the high-speed on-chip oscillator.
Its peripheral set includes an 8-channel 10-bit A/D converter with internal reference (1.45 V) and temperature sensor, 8-channel 16-bit timer (TAU) with PWM capability, watchdog timer, and voltage detector with 12 selectable reset/IRQ thresholds - all configured via dedicated SFRs without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | RL78 16-bit CISC with 3-stage pipeline; enables deterministic 0.04167 µs min instruction time at 24 MHz |
| Memory Configuration | 8 KB code flash (1 KB block size), 768 B RAM, no data flash - limits field firmware updates requiring external storage |
| Operating Voltage | 1.8 V to 5.5 V single supply - supports direct interfacing with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains |
| A/D Converter | 10-bit resolution, 8 input channels, internal 1.45 V reference, and integrated temperature sensor - enables standalone thermal monitoring without external references |
| Serial Interfaces | 1 UART channel only; no Simplified I²C or CSI beyond CSI00 - restricts multi-sensor bus topology options |
| Timer Resources | 8-channel 16-bit TAU with PWM output capability and 1-channel 12-bit interval timer - sufficient for motor control timing and periodic wake-up scheduling |
| Oscillator Accuracy | ±5.0% over –40°C to +85°C for high-speed on-chip oscillator - requires calibration or external crystal for time-critical comms |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F103A9ASP#V0?
The R5F103A9ASP#V0 supports a maximum high-speed on-chip oscillator frequency of 24 MHz, delivering 31 DMIPS performance. 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). The actual achievable frequency depends on supply voltage and oscillator configuration - always verify timing margins using the AC characteristics table in the R01DS0193EJ0250 datasheet.
Does the R5F103A9ASP#V0 include data flash memory?
No, the R5F103A9ASP#V0 does not include data flash memory. Per Renesas documentation, R5F103-series devices omit the 2 KB data flash found in R5F102-series counterparts. This means nonvolatile parameter storage must be implemented externally (e.g., EEPROM or external SPI flash), and self-programming of runtime parameters is not supported on-chip.
How many UART channels does the R5F103A9ASP#V0 support?
The R5F103A9ASP#V0 supports exactly one UART channel (UART0). Unlike higher-pin-count R5F102 variants, it does not implement UART1 or UART2. This single UART is multiplexed on P11 (RxD0) and P12 (TxD0), and may be used concurrently with SNOOZE mode for low-power receive operations.
What is the A/D converter resolution and channel count on the R5F103A9ASP#V0?
The R5F103A9ASP#V0 integrates an 8-channel, 10-bit successive-approximation A/D converter with internal 1.45 V reference voltage and integrated temperature sensor. Input channels include ANI0–ANI3 and ANI16–ANI19. Conversion time is 1.15 µs per sample at fADCLK = 12 MHz, supporting up to 870 kSPS aggregate throughput.
Is the R5F103A9ASP#V0 pin-compatible with other RL78/G12 30-pin variants?
Yes, the R5F103A9ASP#V0 shares identical 30-pin LSSOP package dimensions and pinout with all other RL78/G12 30-pin devices including R5F102AAASP#V0 and R5F103AAASP#V0. Function allocation per pin is consistent across the family, enabling hardware reuse when migrating between memory or feature variants - though peripheral enablement (e.g., DMA, data flash) must be verified in software.
