Product details
Overview
R5F104JCAFA#10 from Renesas is a 52-pin LQFP-0.65mm-pitch 16-bit RL78/G14 microcontroller with 96 KB flash, 12 KB RAM, and 8 KB data flash, operating from 1.6–5.5 V at -40°C to +85°C (industrial grade D). It delivers 44 DMIPS at 32 MHz, features a 10-bit ADC (16 channels), RTC, UART/SPI/I²C interfaces, and ultra-low-power HALT/STOP/SNOOZE modes - deployed in industrial sensor nodes and programmable logic controllers.
For engineers reviewing the R5F104JCAFA#10 datasheet, R5F104JCAFA#10 pinout, R5F104JCAFA#10 application, or R5F104JCAFA#10 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 52-pin LQFP package, 96 KB code flash with self-programming support, 12 KB RAM allocation, integrated RTC with calendar function, and compatibility with Renesas' CS+ and e² studio toolchains for low-power embedded firmware development.
Technical Context
The R5F104JCAFA#10 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture, 3-stage pipeline, and configurable instruction timing (0.03125 µs min @ 32 MHz to 30.5 µs @ 32.768 kHz). It integrates a Data Transfer Controller (DTC) supporting normal, repeat, and block transfer modes triggered by 19–26 event sources via the Event Link Controller (ELC).
Its peripheral set includes up to 12× 16-bit timers (TAU, RJ, RD, RG), 1× 12-bit interval timer, 1× real-time clock with alarm/calendar, 1× watchdog timer, and serial interfaces: 3–4 UART/LIN channels, 3–8 CSI (SPI-compatible) channels, and 4–10 I²C/simplified I²C channels - all accessible through flexible I/O redirection registers.
