Product details
Overview
R5F103AAASP#70 from Renesas Electronics is a 30-pin LSSOP packaged 16-bit RL78/G12 microcontroller designed for ultra-low-power general-purpose embedded control. It operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V, delivers 31 DMIPS at 24 MHz, integrates 16 KB code flash and 256 B RAM, and supports 8-channel 10-bit A/D conversion - deployed in battery-powered sensor nodes and industrial HMI panels.
For engineers reviewing the R5F103AAASP#70 datasheet, R5F103AAASP#70 pinout, R5F103AAASP#70 application, or R5F103AAASP#70 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 30-pin LSSOP package, absence of data flash memory, single UART channel, no DMA controller, and ±5.0% high-speed on-chip oscillator accuracy over –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The R5F103AAASP#70 implements the RL78 CPU core with a 3-stage CISC pipeline, 1 MB address space, and selectable instruction execution time (0.04167 µs at 24 MHz). It uses a dedicated low-speed on-chip oscillator (15 kHz) for watchdog operation and supports main system clock sourcing from either external crystal (1–20 MHz) or internal high-speed oscillator (1–24 MHz).
Its peripheral set includes one UART channel, one simplified SPI (CSI) channel, no simplified I²C interface, an 8-channel 10-bit A/D converter with internal reference (1.45 V), and eight 16-bit timer channels - all configured without data flash, DMA, CRC, or RAM/SFR guard functions present in R5F102 variants.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and performance of the R5F103AAASP#70?
The R5F103AAASP#70 achieves a maximum operating frequency of 24 MHz using its high-speed on-chip oscillator and delivers 31 DMIPS of processing performance. Its minimum instruction execution time is 0.04167 µs under these conditions, enabling responsive real-time control in applications such as motor drive and sensor fusion.
Does the R5F103AAASP#70 include data flash memory?
No, the R5F103AAASP#70 does not include data flash memory. This distinguishes it from the R5F102xx series, which integrates 2 KB of data flash. The absence of data flash simplifies firmware architecture but precludes in-field parameter storage or over-the-air update capability without external memory.
What are the key differences between R5F103AAASP#70 and R5F102AAASP#70?
The R5F103AAASP#70 lacks data flash, DMA controller, CRC unit, RAM/SFR guard, and simplified I²C interface present in R5F102AAASP#70. Its high-speed on-chip oscillator accuracy is ±5.0% versus ±1.0% in the R5F102 variant, making it suitable for less timing-critical applications where cost and power efficiency are prioritized.
Which communication interfaces are supported by the R5F103AAASP#70?
The R5F103AAASP#70 supports one UART channel, one simplified SPI (CSI) channel, and one I²C bus (SCLA0/SDAA0 pins). It does not include simplified I²C or additional UART/CSI channels found in R5F102 variants - limiting multi-interface concurrent operation but reducing pin count and complexity.
What is the analog input capability of the R5F103AAASP#70?
The R5F103AAASP#70 features an 8-channel, 10-bit A/D converter with internal 1.45 V reference voltage and support for AVREFP/AVREFM differential reference inputs. It accepts analog signals from 0 V to VDD or referenced to internal 1.45 V, enabling accurate sensor measurements without external reference components.
