Product details
Overview
R5F104FCGFP#50 from Renesas is a 44-pin LQFP-packaged 16-bit RL78/G14 microcontroller with 16 KB flash, 2.5 KB RAM, and 4 KB data flash, operating from 1.6–5.5 V at -40 to +105°C (industrial G-grade). It delivers 44 DMIPS at 32 MHz, features ultra-low-power HALT/STOP/SNOOZE modes (66 μA/MHz active, 0.60 μA RTC+LVD), and integrates 10-bit ADC (16 ch), UART/LIN (3 ch), I²C (4 ch), and 16-bit timers (8 ch).
For engineers reviewing the R5F104FCGFP#50 datasheet, R5F104FCGFP#50 pinout, R5F104FCGFP#50 application, or R5F104FCGFP#50 equivalent, this device serves as a drop-in-capable, industrial-temperature MCU for cost-sensitive embedded control where low power, integrated analog peripherals, and LIN bus support are required.
Technical Context
The R5F104FCGFP#50 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, supporting instruction execution times from 0.03125 µs (32 MHz) to 30.5 µs (32.768 kHz), multiply/divide/accumulate instructions, and 1 MB address space. It includes on-chip high-accuracy ±1.0% oscillator (1–64 MHz selectable) and dedicated low-speed oscillator for watchdog timer operation.
Peripheral integration includes Event Link Controller (ELC) for hardware-triggered peripheral chaining, Data Transfer Controller (DTC) with block/repeat/normal transfer modes, and background operation (BGO) for concurrent code execution during data flash rewriting - enabling seamless firmware updates without halting real-time tasks.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding performance of the R5F104FCGFP#50?
The R5F104FCGFP#50 operates up to 32 MHz using its high-speed on-chip oscillator, delivering 44 DMIPS. Its minimum instruction execution time is 0.03125 µs at 32 MHz, and it supports dynamic clock scaling down to 32.768 kHz (30.5 µs/instruction) for ultra-low-power RTC operation - all within the same R5F104FCGFP#50 device without external components.
Does the R5F104FCGFP#50 support LIN bus communication, and which UART channels implement it?
Yes, the R5F104FCGFP#50 supports LIN 2.2 protocol on UART channels 0, 1, and 2. Each channel includes hardware features like automatic sync field detection, break generation, and checksum calculation - eliminating software overhead. This capability is confirmed in the R5F104FCGFP#50's peripheral specification and is fully functional in its G-grade industrial temperature range.
What are the flash memory configuration and write endurance specifications for the R5F104FCGFP#50?
The R5F104FCGFP#50 contains 16 KB of code flash memory organized in 1 KB blocks and 4 KB of data flash memory. The data flash supports 1,000,000 write/erase cycles (typical) and operates across the full 1.8–5.5 V supply range. Background operation (BGO) allows concurrent program execution during data flash rewriting - a verified feature of the R5F104FCGFP#50 per Renesas documentation.
Is the R5F104FCGFP#50 qualified for industrial temperature operation, and what is its exact rating?
Yes, the R5F104FCGFP#50 is explicitly rated for industrial applications with an operating ambient temperature range of -40 to +105°C (G-grade). This qualification is encoded in the part number suffix 'G' and confirmed in Table 1-1 of the RL78/G14 datasheet - distinguishing it from A-grade (-40 to +85°C) and D-grade (-40 to +85°C) variants of the same family.
What debug interface does the R5F104FCGFP#50 support, and is on-chip debug functionality included?
The R5F104FCGFP#50 supports single-wire debug (SWD) via the TOOL0 pin (P40) and includes full on-chip debug functionality - including breakpoints, watchpoints, and real-time variable inspection.
