Product details
Overview
R5F104JEAFA#50 from Renesas is a 52-pin LQFP-0.65mm, industrial-grade RL78/G14 16-bit MCU with 96 KB flash, 8 KB data flash, 12 KB RAM, 10-bit ADC (16 channels), and integrated RTC/LVD. It operates from 1.6–5.5 V at -40 to +85°C and delivers 44 DMIPS at 32 MHz for low-power sensor interface and motor control applications.
For engineers reviewing the R5F104JEAFA#50 datasheet, R5F104JEAFA#50 pinout, R5F104JEAFA#50 application, or R5F104JEAFA#50 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 52-pin LQFP package, 96 KB/8 KB/12 KB memory configuration, 16-channel 10-bit ADC, real-time clock with calendar, and support for UART, I²C, and CSI serial interfaces in industrial embedded designs.
Technical Context
The R5F104JEAFA#50 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture, 3-stage pipeline, and variable 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 direct peripheral-to-peripheral event routing without CPU intervention.
Its power management includes HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE modes, achieving 66 µA/MHz active current and 0.60 µA RTC+LVD retention. The high-accuracy on-chip oscillator supports ±1.0% stability across 1.8–5.5 V and -20 to +85°C, eliminating external crystal dependency for many timing-critical functions.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the R5F104JEAFA#50?
The R5F104JEAFA#50 is rated for industrial operation from -40°C to +85°C, as indicated by the 'D' suffix in its part number designation. This range ensures reliable performance in factory automation, HVAC, and outdoor metering environments where ambient conditions exceed consumer-grade limits. The device maintains specified timing, ADC accuracy, and flash endurance across this full span without derating.
Does the R5F104JEAFA#50 include an integrated real-time clock with calendar function?
Yes, the R5F104JEAFA#50 integrates a full-featured real-time clock (RTC) supporting calendar mode for years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds; alarm interrupt; and automatic clock correction. It operates independently in STOP mode using the 32.768 kHz subsystem clock, enabling time-stamped data logging and scheduled wake-up without external components or host CPU involvement.
How much data flash memory does the R5F104JEAFA#50 provide, and what is its endurance rating?
The R5F104JEAFA#50 provides 8 KB of dedicated data flash memory, rated for 1,000,000 write/erase cycles (typical) across the full 1.8–5.5 V supply range. It supports background operation (BGO), allowing program execution from code flash while rewriting data flash - essential for non-volatile parameter storage in field-deployed equipment.
What serial communication interfaces are available on the R5F104JEAFA#50?
The R5F104JEAFA#50 includes three UART channels (one with LIN support), up to ten I²C/simplified I²C channels, and three to eight CSI (SPI-compatible) channels. These interfaces are multiplexed across GPIO pins and configurable via peripheral I/O redirection registers, enabling flexible peripheral connectivity without hardware redesign.
Is the R5F104JEAFA#50 pin-compatible with other RL78/G14 variants in the same package?
Yes, all RL78/G14 devices in the 52-pin LQFP-0.65mm package - including R5F104JxAFA#50 variants - share identical pinouts and electrical characteristics. This allows direct substitution within the same memory/feature tier (e.g., R5F104JEAFA#50 ↔ R5F104JGAFA#50) without PCB changes, provided firmware accommodates differences in flash/RAM size and peripheral enablement.
