Product details
Overview
R5F104FFAFP#X0 from Renesas is a 44-pin LQFP, 96 KB flash, 12 KB RAM RL78/G14 16-bit microcontroller with ultra-low power operation (66 μA/MHz), 32 MHz max CPU speed, integrated 10-bit ADC (16 channels), and real-time clock. It targets battery-powered industrial sensors and low-cost motor control systems requiring robust peripheral integration and extended temperature support.
For engineers reviewing the R5F104FFAFP#X0 datasheet, R5F104FFAFP#X0 pinout, R5F104FFAFP#X0 application, or R5F104FFAFP#X0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 44-pin LQFP-0.8 mm pitch package, -40°C to +85°C industrial-grade rating (D suffix), 96 KB code flash with 4 KB data flash, and support for UART, I²C, CSI, and up to 12 timer channels.
Technical Context
The R5F104FFAFP#X0 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture, 3-stage pipeline, and configurable instruction timing (0.03125 µs @ 32 MHz to 30.5 µs @ 32.768 kHz). It integrates a Data Transfer Controller (DTC) for autonomous memory transfers and an Event Link Controller (ELC) enabling hardware-triggered peripheral chaining without CPU intervention.
Its mixed-signal subsystem includes a 10-bit A/D converter with internal 1.45 V reference and temperature sensor, dual 8-bit D/A outputs (0–VDD), two comparators with window mode, and a calendar-capable real-time clock with alarm and correction functions - all operating under single 1.6–5.5 V supply.
