Product details
Overview
R5F104EGANA#U0 from Renesas is a 40-pin HWQFN-packaged 16-bit RL78/G14 microcontroller with 96 KB flash, 12 KB RAM, and 8 KB data flash, operating from 1.6–5.5 V. It delivers 44 DMIPS at 32 MHz, features ultra-low-power HALT/STOP/SNOOZE modes (0.60 μA RTC+LVD), and integrates 10-bit ADC (20 ch), UART/SPI/I²C interfaces, RTC, and on-chip oscillators for industrial sensor control and battery-powered HMI applications.
For engineers reviewing the R5F104EGANA#U0 datasheet, R5F104EGANA#U0 pinout, R5F104EGANA#U0 application, or R5F104EGANA#U0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40-pin 6×6 mm HWQFN package, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade (A-field), 96 KB code flash with self-programming, and integrated event link controller (ELC) for deterministic peripheral triggering without CPU intervention.
Technical Context
The R5F104EGANA#U0 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, supporting instruction execution times from 0.03125 μs (32 MHz high-speed mode) to 30.5 μs (32.768 kHz ultra-low-speed mode). It embeds a Data Transfer Controller (DTC) for autonomous memory transfers triggered by interrupts and an Event Link Controller (ELC) enabling direct hardware-to-peripheral signal routing across 19–26 event types.
Its power management includes on-chip POR, selectable 14-level LVD with interrupt/reset capability, and multiple low-power modes-HALT (66 μA/MHz), STOP (0.60 μA with RTC+LVD active), and SNOOZE-enabling precise trade-offs between wake-up latency and energy consumption in duty-cycled systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding performance of the R5F104EGANA#U0?
The R5F104EGANA#U0 operates up to 32 MHz, delivering 44 DMIPS of processing performance. Its RL78 CPU core achieves this with a 3-stage pipeline and supports variable instruction execution times-from 0.03125 μs at full speed to 30.5 μs in ultra-low-speed mode-enabling dynamic power/performance scaling. This makes the R5F104EGANA#U0 suitable for real-time control tasks where deterministic timing and energy efficiency are both critical.
Does the R5F104EGANA#U0 support in-system programming and secure firmware updates?
Yes, the R5F104EGANA#U0 supports full in-system programming via its on-chip debug interface and UART-based bootloader. It includes self-programming capabilities with boot swap functionality and flash shield window protection, allowing safe field updates with rollback capability. The R5F104EGANA#U0 also integrates a hardware CRC calculator to verify firmware image integrity before execution-essential for secure and reliable over-the-air or wired updates.
What low-power modes are available on the R5F104EGANA#U0, and what is the lowest current draw achievable?
The R5F104EGANA#U0 offers HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE low-power modes. In STOP mode with only RTC and LVD active, it draws just 0.60 μA-verified across -40°C to +85°C. HALT mode consumes 66 μA per MHz, and SNOOZE enables selective peripheral operation while CPU sleeps. These modes are controlled via dedicated system registers and supported by the on-chip power management unit, making the R5F104EGANA#U0 ideal for battery-powered applications demanding multi-year operation.
Can the R5F104EGANA#U0 operate without an external crystal oscillator?
Yes, the R5F104EGANA#U0 includes a high-accuracy on-chip oscillator (HOCO) with ±1.0% tolerance across 1.8–5.5 V and -20°C to +85°C-sufficient for UART communication, RTC calibration, and most control applications. It supports frequencies from 1 MHz to 64 MHz, selectable in software. An external crystal is optional and only required for applications needing tighter timing accuracy (e.g., USB, audio clocks, or IEEE 1588 synchronization), which the R5F104EGANA#U0 does not support.
How many analog input channels and what ADC resolution does the R5F104EGANA#U0 provide?
The R5F104EGANA#U0 integrates a 10-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with up to 20 analog input channels (ANI0–ANI19). It includes internal reference voltages (1.45 V) and a calibrated temperature sensor, eliminating the need for external references in most sensing applications. Conversion time is 1.6 μs per sample, and the ADC supports scan mode, group conversion, and hardware-triggered operation via ELC-making the R5F104EGANA#U0 well-suited for multi-sensor data acquisition in industrial and environmental monitoring systems.
