Product details
Overview
R5F103AAASP#10 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 features 16 KB code flash, 2 KB RAM, 8-channel 10-bit A/D converter, 1 UART, 1 simplified SPI (CSI), and operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V with 63 μA/MHz active current. It targets battery-powered sensor nodes and smart home peripherals requiring deterministic real-time response.
For engineers reviewing the R5F103AAASP#10 datasheet, R5F103AAASP#10 pinout, R5F103AAASP#10 application, or R5F103AAASP#10 equivalent, key selection considerations include its lack of data flash memory, absence of DMA and CRC hardware, reduced serial interface count versus R5F102 variants, and ±5.0% high-speed on-chip oscillator accuracy over –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The R5F103AAASP#10 implements the RL78 CISC CPU core with 3-stage pipeline, 1 MB address space, and configurable instruction execution time (0.04167 μs at 24 MHz). Its peripheral set is optimized for minimal footprint: single UART channel, one CSI interface, no I²C support, and TAU timer with 8 output channels-configured via PIOR register for flexible PWM or capture/compare functions.
Power management includes HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE modes, POR/LVD reset circuitry, and a 15 kHz low-speed on-chip oscillator for watchdog operation. The device lacks data flash, DMA, and safety features (CRC, RAM/SFR guard) present in R5F102 counterparts-making it suitable for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical control tasks where firmware updates occur infrequently.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F103AAASP#10?
The R5F103AAASP#10 supports a maximum system clock frequency of 24 MHz using the high-speed on-chip oscillator. This enables 31 DMIPS performance while maintaining 63 μA/MHz efficiency. External crystal operation is limited to 20 MHz in HS mode (VDD ≥ 2.7 V) or 16 MHz (VDD ≥ 2.4 V), per the RL78/G12 electrical specifications. The R5F103AAASP#10 achieves this timing without requiring external clock components.
Does the R5F103AAASP#10 include data flash memory?
No, the R5F103AAASP#10 does not include data flash memory. As confirmed in Section 1.3.1 of the RL78/G12 datasheet, R5F103-series devices omit the 2 KB data flash present in R5F102 variants. Firmware must store runtime parameters in RAM or external EEPROM. This design choice reduces cost and simplifies qualification for applications where infrequent field updates are acceptable.
What are the key differences between R5F103AAASP#10 and R5F102AAASP#10?
The R5F103AAASP#10 omits data flash, DMA controller, CRC calculation unit, and RAM/SFR guard features found in the R5F102AAASP#10. Its high-speed on-chip oscillator has ±5.0% accuracy (vs. ±1.0% in R5F102), and it supports fewer serial interfaces (no I²C, only 1 UART and 1 CSI). These differences make the R5F103AAASP#10 lower-cost and simpler for non-safety-critical applications.
Which development tools support the R5F103AAASP#10?
The R5F103AAASP#10 is supported by Renesas' e² studio IDE, CS+ (formerly CubeSuite+), and the Renesas Flash Programmer. Hardware debugging requires the E2 emulator Lite or E2 emulator, both compatible with the on-chip debug interface. Evaluation is possible using the RL78/G12 Starter Kit (YRDKRL78G12), which includes sample code and peripheral drivers specifically validated for R5F103AA-series devices.
What is the purpose of the REGC pin on the R5F103AAASP#10?
The REGC pin on the R5F103AAASP#10 connects to the internal voltage regulator's stabilization capacitor. Per datasheet Page 9 and Absolute Maximum Ratings Table, a 0.47–1 µF capacitor must be placed between REGC and VSS to ensure stable operation of the on-chip regulator. Failure to install this capacitor may cause erratic behavior, especially during low-voltage or high-temperature operation, and violates the device's absolute maximum rating for REGC terminal voltage.
