Product details
Overview
R5F103AAASP#50 from Renesas is a 30-pin LSSOP packaged 16-bit RL78/G12 microcontroller for consumer-grade embedded control, featuring 16 KB code flash, 256 B RAM, 8-channel 10-bit A/D converter, 1-channel UART, and ultra-low power consumption (63 μA/MHz) across 1.8–5.5 V operation. It targets battery-powered sensor nodes and appliance control panels requiring compact footprint and deterministic real-time response.
For engineers reviewing the R5F103AAASP#50 datasheet, R5F103AAASP#50 pinout, R5F103AAASP#50 application, or R5F103AAASP#50 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 30-pin LSSOP package, absence of data flash memory, single UART channel, lack of DMA controller, and ±5.0% high-speed on-chip oscillator accuracy over –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The R5F103AAASP#50 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, 1 MB address space, and 8-bit register banks. It operates in HS/LS clock modes using either external crystal (1–20 MHz) or internal oscillator (1–24 MHz), with reset sourced from POR, LVD, watchdog, or RESET pin.
Peripheral integration includes TAU timer unit with 8 channels (supporting PWM), 12-bit interval timer, window watchdog, on-chip debug interface, and programmable clock/buzzer output. No CRC, RAM guard, or SFR guard functions are present-distinguishing it from R5F102 variants.
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 - supports direct connection to Li-ion, AA, or USB-supplied systems without level-shifting |
| Flash Memory | 16 KB code flash - sufficient for firmware with BLE stack or motor control algorithms |
| RAM Size | 256 B - constrains real-time task count and buffer depth in interrupt handlers |
| A/D Converter | 10-bit resolution, 8 input channels - enables simultaneous monitoring of temperature, voltage, and current sensors |
| UART Channels | 1 channel - supports basic host communication or debug console, no dual-serial redundancy |
| Oscillator Accuracy | ±5.0% (–40°C to +85°C) - requires external crystal for time-critical protocols like Modbus RTU |
| Power Consumption | 63 μA/MHz - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes beyond 5 years on CR2032 |
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 reference positive input | Provides stable reference for A/D conversion; must be decoupled with 0.1 µF capacitor |
| P01/ANI16/TO00/RxD1 | Multi-function I/O (A/D input, timer output, UART receive) | Shared pin requires configuration via PIOR register; default function depends on reset state |
| P11/SI00/RxD0/TOOLRxD/SDA00 | Serial data input / UART receive / I²C data | Enables shared physical layer for debug (TOOLRxD) and peripheral comms (RxD0/SDA00) |
| P12/SO00/TxD0/TOOLTxD | Serial data output / UART transmit / debug output | Supports in-system programming and runtime logging without dedicated debug header |
| RESET | Active-low reset input | Accepts external push-button or supervisor IC signal; internal pull-up enabled by default |
| VDD / VSS | Power supply / ground | Dual VDD/VSS pair ensures noise immunity; requires local 0.1 µF + 4.7 µF decoupling per supply rail |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low power HALT/STOP/SNOOZE modes | Reduces active current to sub-μA range during idle, enabling multi-year battery operation in wireless sensors |
| On-chip high-speed oscillator (1–24 MHz) | Eliminates external crystal for cost-sensitive applications where ±5% timing tolerance is acceptable |
| 8-channel 10-bit A/D converter with internal reference | Measures analog signals without external voltage reference, simplifying BOM for HVAC or appliance controls |
| Programmable clock/buzzer output (PCLBUZ0/PCLBUZ1) | Generates audible alerts or precise timing signals directly from GPIO, reducing need for external drivers |
| Key interrupt support (KR0–KR9) | Scans up to 10 mechanical keys with hardware debouncing, ideal for remote controls and panel interfaces |
| On-chip debug interface (via TOOL0/TOOLRxD/TOOLTxD) | Enables full SWD-style debugging using only three pins, eliminating JTAG header footprint |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F103AAASP#50?
The R5F103AAASP#50 supports a maximum system clock frequency of 24 MHz using its high-speed on-chip oscillator. When driven by an external crystal, the maximum is 20 MHz under 2.7–5.5 V supply conditions. Instruction execution time ranges from 0.04167 μs (24 MHz) to 1 μs (1 MHz), configurable via clock source selection registers.
Does the R5F103AAASP#50 include data flash memory?
No, the R5F103AAASP#50 does not include data flash memory. Unlike the R5F102xx series, all R5F103xx parts omit the 2 KB data flash block. User data storage must be implemented externally or in reserved code flash sectors with appropriate wear-leveling software.
How many UART interfaces does the R5F103AAASP#50 support?
The R5F103AAASP#50 supports exactly one UART interface (UART0). It does not include UART1 or UART2, which are present only in higher-pin-count RL78/G12 variants. This single UART is multiplexed on pins P11 (RxD0) and P12 (TxD0), and supports standard asynchronous communication up to 1 Mbps.
What is the A/D converter resolution and channel count on the R5F103AAASP#50?
The R5F103AAASP#50 integrates an 8-channel, 10-bit successive-approximation A/D converter. It supports both single-ended and differential input modes, uses internal 1.45 V reference or AVREFP/AVREFM inputs, and includes temperature sensor output. Conversion time is 1.1 μs per sample at 10-bit resolution.
Is the R5F103AAASP#50 pin-compatible with other RL78/G12 30-pin variants?
Yes, the R5F103AAASP#50 shares identical pinout and package (30-pin LSSOP) with all other RL78/G12 30-pin parts including R5F102AAASP#50 and R5F103A9ASP#50. Peripheral function allocation follows the same mapping, though feature availability (e.g., data flash, DMA) varies by part number and must be verified in software initialization.
