Product details
Overview
R5F104FFAFP#50 from Renesas Electronics is a 44-pin LQFP, 96 KB flash, 12 KB RAM RL78/G14 16-bit microcontroller with ultra-low-power operation (66 μA/MHz), integrated 10-bit ADC (16 channels), dual UART/LIN interfaces, and real-time clock - deployed in battery-powered industrial sensors and smart metering endpoints.
For engineers reviewing the R5F104FFAFP#50 datasheet, R5F104FFAFP#50 pinout, R5F104FFAFP#50 application, or R5F104FFAFP#50 equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping, validated peripheral configuration, confirmed low-power mode behavior, and direct alternative part comparisons for rapid design-in and BOM optimization.
Technical Context
The R5F104FFAFP#50 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline, supporting instruction execution times from 0.03125 µs (@32 MHz) to 30.5 µs (@32.768 kHz), and includes multiply/divide/accumulate instructions within a 1 MB address space. It integrates a 12-bit interval timer, calendar-capable RTC, and watchdog timer driven by a dedicated low-speed oscillator.
Peripheral integration includes 8-channel 16-bit Timer Array Unit (TAU), 4-channel I²C, 3-channel UART with LIN support, 3–8-channel CSI (SPI-compatible), and a Data Transfer Controller (DTC) with chain transfer capability - all linked via the Event Link Controller (ELC) for autonomous event-driven operation without CPU intervention.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding current consumption of the R5F104FFAFP#50?
The R5F104FFAFP#50 operates up to 32 MHz with a typical active current of 66 μA per MHz, resulting in ~2.1 mA at full speed. Its high-accuracy on-chip oscillator (±1.0% over -20°C to +85°C) eliminates need for external crystal in many applications, reducing BOM count and PCB area. The R5F104FFAFP#50 maintains this specification across its full 1.6–5.5 V supply range.
Does the R5F104FFAFP#50 support in-system programming and secure firmware updates?
Yes, the R5F104FFAFP#50 supports self-programming of both code and data flash memory with boot swapping and flash shield window protection. It enables secure firmware updates via UART or other serial interfaces using Renesas' Flash Self-Programming Library, and includes block-erase prohibition to prevent unauthorized reprogramming. The R5F104FFAFP#50 also features on-chip debug functionality compliant with E1/E20 emulators.
How many UART/LIN interfaces does the R5F104FFAFP#50 provide, and are they hardware-independent?
The R5F104FFAFP#50 integrates three UART modules, each supporting LIN 2.2 protocol with automatic sync-break detection and checksum generation. These UARTs operate independently with separate clock sources and interrupt vectors, allowing concurrent use - for example, one for host communication, one for sensor telemetry, and one for LIN bus control. All three are fully accessible on the R5F104FFAFP#50's 44-pin LQFP package.
What ADC resolution, channel count, and reference options are available on the R5F104FFAFP#50?
The R5F104FFAFP#50 features a 10-bit successive-approximation ADC with 16 analog input channels, programmable sampling time, and selectable conversion triggers (software, timer, or peripheral event). It supports internal 1.45 V reference, AVDD, or external reference via AVREFP/AVREFM pins. The R5F104FFAFP#50 also integrates an on-chip temperature sensor calibrated across the industrial temperature range.
Is the R5F104FFAFP#50 pin-compatible with other RL78/G14 variants in the same package?
Yes, all RL78/G14 devices in the 44-pin LQFP package - including R5F104FAAFP#50 through R5F104FHAFP#50 - share identical pinouts and electrical characteristics. This allows drop-in replacement across memory variants (16–192 KB flash) without PCB redesign. The R5F104FFAFP#50 retains full functional compatibility with peripherals, timers, and serial interfaces across this family subset.
