Product details
Overview
R5F104GCANA#U0 from Renesas is a 48-pin HWQFN-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 +85°C (A-grade), delivering 44 DMIPS at 32 MHz for ultra-low-power embedded control in battery-powered sensors and industrial HMI.
For engineers reviewing the R5F104GCANA#U0 datasheet, R5F104GCANA#U0 pinout, R5F104GCANA#U0 application, or R5F104GCANA#U0 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, validated package mapping, confirmed peripheral integration (10-channel I²C, 12-channel 16-bit timer, 8-channel ADC), and real-world use context for rapid schematic and firmware validation.
Technical Context
The R5F104GCANA#U0 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), and includes on-chip debug, self-programming with boot swap, and background operation for data flash rewriting while executing code.
It integrates dual-clock domains: high-accuracy ±1.0% on-chip oscillator (selectable 1–64 MHz) and independent subsystem clock for RTC/LVD, enabling simultaneous low-power RTC+LVD operation at 0.60 µA, plus event-driven peripherals via Event Link Controller (ELC) and Data Transfer Controller (DTC) for deterministic ISR offloading.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | RL78 16-bit CISC with 3-stage pipeline; enables deterministic timing control and low gate count for cost-sensitive designs. |
| Max Operating Frequency | 32 MHz (44 DMIPS); delivers sufficient throughput for real-time motor control loops and protocol stacks without external clocking. |
| Flash Memory | 16 KB code flash + 4 KB data flash; supports secure block erase prohibition and background rewriting during program execution. |
| RAM Size | 2.5 KB on-chip RAM; sufficient for RTOS task stacks, sensor fusion buffers, and LIN/UART protocol state machines. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.6 V to 5.5 V; allows direct interface with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V peripherals without level shifters. |
| Low-Power Modes | HALT (66 µA/MHz), STOP (0.60 µA with RTC+LVD active); extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications. |
| Analog Peripherals | 8/10-bit ADC (8 channels), 8-bit DAC (2 channels), 2 comparators; enables closed-loop analog sensing and actuation without external ICs. |
| Serial Interfaces | Up to 10 I²C channels, 4 UART/LIN channels, 8 CSI/SPI channels; supports multi-sensor networks and automotive diagnostics. |
Pinout & Package
48-pin HWQFN (7 × 7 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed die pad recommended to be connected to VSS; RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| P00 | TxD1 / TI00 / TRGCLKA | Primary UART transmit output and timer input; supports asynchronous serial communication and edge-triggered capture. |
| P01 | RxD1 / TO00 / TRGCLKB | Primary UART receive input and timer output; enables full-duplex UART and PWM generation with trigger synchronization. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F104BCANA#U0 | Same 48-pin HWQFN package, 32 KB flash, 5.5 KB RAM, identical peripheral set and pinout. | Higher flash/RAM supports larger protocol stacks (e.g., Modbus TCP over Ethernet PHY) and extended data logging. | Select when firmware size exceeds 16 KB or additional RAM is needed for multi-threaded operation. |
| R5F105GCGNA#U0 | RL78/G15 family; adds USB 2.0 FS device, 64 KB flash, 6 KB RAM, same 48-pin HWQFN footprint. | Enables direct PC connectivity for configuration and diagnostics; not suitable for cost-sensitive non-USB applications. | Choose only if native USB device functionality is required; otherwise, R5F104GCANA#U0 offers lower BOM cost and power. |
Compared with R5F104BCANA#U0, the R5F104GCANA#U0 trades flash/RAM headroom for lower unit cost and reduced static power, while R5F105GCGNA#U0 introduces USB at the expense of higher active current and licensing complexity-making R5F104GCANA#U0 optimal for pure embedded control without connectivity overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding DMIPS rating for the R5F104GCANA#U0?
The R5F104GCANA#U0 operates up to 32 MHz with a measured performance of 44 DMIPS. This value is derived from the RL78 CPU core's 3-stage pipeline and instruction mix benchmarking per Renesas documentation, and it reflects real-world throughput for compiled C code in typical control applications-not theoretical peak.
Does the R5F104GCANA#U0 support LIN bus communication, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the R5F104GCANA#U0 supports LIN 2.2/ISO 17987-4 via its UART peripheral, which includes dedicated LIN break detection, sync field generation, and checksum calculation. No external transceiver is required for basic node functionality, though a LIN physical layer IC (e.g., TJA1020) is needed for bus termination and ESD protection.
What are the exact flash and RAM capacities of the R5F104GCANA#U0?
The R5F104GCANA#U0 contains 16 KB of code flash memory, 4 KB of data flash memory, and 2.5 KB of on-chip RAM. These values are fixed for this specific part number and confirmed in Renesas' RL78/G14 datasheet revision 3.40, Table 1-1 and Section 1.2.
Is the R5F104GCANA#U0 pin-compatible with other RL78/G14 variants in the same 48-pin HWQFN package?
Yes-the R5F104GCANA#U0 shares identical pinout, electrical characteristics, and peripheral mapping with all other 48-pin HWQFN RL78/G14 devices (e.g., R5F104BCANA#U0, R5F104ECANA#U0), enabling drop-in replacement within the same memory/feature tier without PCB changes.
What low-power modes does the R5F104GCANA#U0 support, and what is the minimum current consumption?
The R5F104GCANA#U0 supports HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE modes. In STOP mode with only RTC and LVD active, it consumes 0.60 µA (typical) at VDD = 1.8–5.5 V and TA = –40 to +85°C-verified in Renesas' datasheet Section 1.1 under "Ultra-Low Power Consumption Technology."
