Product details
Overview
R5F103A9DSP#X0 from Renesas Electronics is a 30-pin LSSOP packaged 16-bit RL78/G12 microcontroller designed for industrial embedded control. It features 8 KB code flash, 768 B RAM, 8-channel 10-bit A/D converter, 8-channel 16-bit timer, and operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V across –40°C to +85°C ambient range - deployed in smart sensor nodes requiring ultra-low power and deterministic real-time response.
For engineers reviewing the R5F103A9DSP#X0 datasheet, R5F103A9DSP#X0 pinout, R5F103A9DSP#X0 application, or R5F103A9DSP#X0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its industrial-grade temperature rating (–40°C to +85°C), absence of data flash memory, UART/CSI-only serial interface configuration, and lack of DMA controller - distinguishing it from R5F102-series variants.
Technical Context
The R5F103A9DSP#X0 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture, 3-stage pipeline, and 1 MB address space. It supports high-speed on-chip oscillator operation at 24 MHz (±5% accuracy over –40°C to +85°C) and low-power STOP/HALT/SNOOZE modes enabling sub-63 μA/MHz active current consumption.
Peripheral integration includes one I²C channel, up to three UART channels, up to three CSI channels, and programmable clock/buzzer output. Unlike R5F102A9DSP#X0, this part omits data flash, DMA, CRC, RAM guard, and SFR guard functions - confirming its role as a cost-optimized industrial MCU variant within the RL78/G12 family.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F103A9DSP#X0?
The R5F103A9DSP#X0 supports a maximum high-speed on-chip oscillator frequency of 24 MHz, with ±5% accuracy over the full –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. External crystal operation is rated up to 20 MHz. At 24 MHz, the RL78 core achieves 31 DMIPS performance, enabling real-time execution of control algorithms and protocol stacks without external acceleration.
Does the R5F103A9DSP#X0 include data flash memory?
No, the R5F103A9DSP#X0 does not include data flash memory. Per Renesas documentation, data flash (2 KB) is present only in R5F102-series variants. The R5F103A9DSP#X0 relies solely on its 8 KB code flash for program storage and non-volatile parameter retention via EEPROM emulation techniques in application firmware.
What package type and pin count does the R5F103A9DSP#X0 use?
The R5F103A9DSP#X0 uses a 30-pin plastic LSSOP package with 0.65 mm pitch and 7.62 mm body width. This package is RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable, and compatible with standard reflow profiles. Pin assignments match the RL78/G12 30-pin outline, including dedicated analog reference inputs (AVREFP/AVREFM), multiple UART/CSI/I²C-capable pins, and X1/X2 crystal connections.
How many A/D converter channels does the R5F103A9DSP#X0 support?
The R5F103A9DSP#X0 integrates an 8-channel, 10-bit successive-approximation A/D converter with internal 1.45 V reference voltage and temperature sensor. Input channels include ANI0–ANI3 and ANI16–ANI19. The A/D module supports single-ended and differential measurement modes, and conversion results are accessible via dedicated SFRs with interrupt capability upon completion.
Is the R5F103A9DSP#X0 pin-compatible with other RL78/G12 variants?
The R5F103A9DSP#X0 shares identical pinout and package with other 30-pin RL78/G12 variants including R5F102A9DSP#X0 and R5F103AAASP#X0. However, functional differences exist: R5F102A9DSP#X0 adds data flash, DMA, and safety features; R5F103AAASP#X0 uses a 20-pin LSSOP package. PCB layout must account for missing peripherals when substituting R5F103A9DSP#X0 into R5F102A9DSP#X0 designs.
