Product details
Overview
R5F104GKANA#U0 from Renesas Electronics is a 48-pin HWQFN-packaged 16-bit RL78/G14 microcontroller with 256 KB flash, 8 KB data flash, and 24 KB RAM, operating from 1.6 V to 5.5 V at up to 32 MHz (44 DMIPS), featuring ultra-low-power HALT/STOP/SNOOZE modes, integrated RTC, and 10-bit ADC with 20 channels - deployed in battery-powered industrial sensor nodes and smart metering interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the R5F104GKANA#U0 datasheet, R5F104GKANA#U0 pinout, R5F104GKANA#U0 application, or R5F104GKANA#U0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 256 KB code flash density, 48-pin 0.5 mm pitch HWQFN package with exposed thermal pad, -40°C to +105°C industrial temperature grade (G), and support for background data flash rewriting during program execution.
Technical Context
The R5F104GKANA#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 multiply/divide/accumulate instructions with 1 MB address space. It integrates a configurable Event Link Controller (ELC) enabling direct peripheral-to-peripheral event routing without CPU intervention.
Its power management includes on-chip POR, 14-level LVD with interrupt/reset options, and true low-power operation: 66 μA/MHz active current and 0.60 μA in RTC+LVD-only mode. The high-accuracy ±1.0% on-chip oscillator supports 12 selectable frequencies from 1 MHz to 64 MHz across full voltage and temperature range.

The R5F104GKANA#U0 operates at up to 32 MHz with a peak performance of 44 DMIPS. Its RL78 CPU core achieves this with a 3-stage pipeline and supports variable instruction timing - minimum execution time is 0.03125 μs at 32 MHz using the high-speed on-chip oscillator. The device maintains ±1.0% oscillator accuracy across 1.6–5.5 V and -40°C to +105°C.
Does the R5F104GKANA#U0 support in-system programming and secure firmware updates?
Yes, the R5F104GKANA#U0 supports full in-system programming via on-chip debug interface and includes boot swap functionality for atomic firmware updates. It implements flash shield window protection to prevent unauthorized read/write access to designated memory regions, and block erase prohibition enhances security against malicious reprogramming.
How many analog input channels does the R5F104GKANA#U0 support, and what is the ADC resolution?
The R5F104GKANA#U0 integrates a 10-bit successive approximation ADC with up to 20 analog input channels (ANI0–ANI19). It includes an internal 1.45 V reference voltage and a calibrated temperature sensor, enabling accurate sensor measurements without external references. Input voltage range is 0 V to VDD, with support for single-ended and pseudo-differential modes.
What low-power modes are available on the R5F104GKANA#U0, and what is the lowest current consumption?
The R5F104GKANA#U0 offers HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE low-power modes. In STOP mode with only RTC and LVD active, it consumes just 0.60 μA - verified across -40°C to +105°C. HALT mode draws 66 μA per MHz of active CPU operation. Wake-up from any mode is supported via multiple sources including INTP pins, RTC alarms, and peripheral events routed through the ELC.
Is the R5F104GKANA#U0 pin-compatible with other RL78/G14 variants in the same package?
Yes, the R5F104GKANA#U0 is fully pin-compatible with all other 48-pin HWQFN RL78/G14 variants (e.g., R5F104GLANA#U0, R5F104GJANA#U0), sharing identical pin functions, electrical characteristics, and land pattern requirements. This allows seamless migration between memory configurations without PCB redesign - only firmware and configuration registers need adjustment.
