Product details
Overview
R5F104LCAFB#10 from Renesas is a 64-pin LFQFP (10 × 10 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), industrial-grade RL78/G14 16-bit microcontroller with 192 KB flash, 20 KB RAM, and 8 KB data flash. It delivers 44 DMIPS at 32 MHz, operates from 1.6–5.5 V, and supports ultra-low-power modes (0.60 μA in RTC+LVD mode). It targets embedded control in HVAC, motor drives, and smart sensors.
For engineers reviewing the R5F104LCAFB#10 datasheet, R5F104LCAFB#10 pinout, R5F104LCAFB#10 application, or R5F104LCAFB#10 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 64-pin LFQFP-0.5mm package, integrated 12-bit RTC with calendar, dual UART/LIN support, and hardware DTC/ELC for deterministic peripheral coordination in resource-constrained industrial designs.
Technical Context
The R5F104LCAFB#10 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline, supporting instruction execution times from 0.03125 µs (32 MHz) to 30.5 µs (32.768 kHz). It integrates a Data Transfer Controller (DTC) with chain transfer and an Event Link Controller (ELC) enabling direct peripheral-to-peripheral event routing without CPU intervention.
Its mixed-signal subsystem includes an 8/10-bit ADC (up to 20 channels), two 8-bit DAC outputs, two comparators, and internal temperature sensor + 1.45 V reference. Power management features HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE modes, with on-chip LVD (14-level selectable) and POR.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core | RL78 16-bit CISC with 3-stage pipeline; enables deterministic real-time response in safety-critical control loops. |
| Max Clock Speed | 32 MHz (44 DMIPS); sufficient for closed-loop motor control and multi-sensor fusion at <100 µs loop time. |
| Memory | 192 KB code flash + 8 KB data flash + 20 KB RAM; supports firmware updates via boot swapping and background data flash rewriting. |
| Supply Range | 1.6–5.5 V; allows direct interface with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V peripherals without level shifters. |
| Low-Power Modes | 0.60 μA (RTC + LVD active); enables battery-powered operation >10 years with coin-cell supply. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 64-pin LFQFP (10 × 10 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, industrial temperature grade (−40°C to +85°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| P121 / X1 | Crystal input (low-speed) | Connects to 32.768 kHz tuning-fork crystal for RTC accuracy ±20 ppm; requires external load capacitors. |
| P122 / X2 / EXCLK | Crystal output / external clock input | Drives 32.768 kHz crystal; alternatively accepts external clock up to 1 MHz for systems requiring clock source redundancy. |
| RESET | Active-low reset input | Asynchronous reset with internal pull-up; debounced externally for robust power-on and brown-out recovery. |
| REGC | Regulator bypass capacitor | Must connect 0.47–1 µF ceramic capacitor to VSS to stabilize internal voltage regulator for low-noise analog operation. |
| P60 / SCLA0 | I²C bus clock (channel 0) | Open-drain output with internal pull-up; supports standard/fast-mode I²C (100/400 kHz) for sensor and EEPROM interfacing. |
| P61 / SDAA0 | I²C bus data (channel 0) | Open-drain bidirectional line; shares same bus as P60; enables multi-drop communication with addressable peripherals. |
| P137 / INTP0 | External interrupt input 0 | Edge-triggered (rising/falling configurable); used for emergency stop, zero-crossing detection, or wake-up from STOP mode. |
| VDD / VSS | Power supply / ground | Dual VDD/VSS pairs (pins 10/11 and 54/55) reduce noise coupling between digital and analog domains. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding performance of the R5F104LCAFB#10?
The R5F104LCAFB#10 operates at up to 32 MHz, delivering 44 DMIPS of processing performance. Its RL78 CPU core achieves this with a 3-stage pipeline and supports instruction execution times ranging from 0.03125 µs (high-speed mode) to 30.5 µs (ultra-low-speed mode with 32.768 kHz subsystem clock). This makes the R5F104LCAFB#10 suitable for real-time control tasks such as motor commutation and sensor fusion where deterministic timing is essential.
Does the R5F104LCAFB#10 support in-system programming and secure firmware updates?
Yes, the R5F104LCAFB#10 supports full in-system programming via its on-chip debug function and self-programming capability. It implements boot swapping and flash shield window protection to enable secure over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates. The flash library reserves RAM starting at address F3F00H for safe reprogramming, and block erase/write prohibition prevents unauthorized modification of protected code sections - all features confirmed in the R01DS0053EJ0370 datasheet.
What are the analog peripheral capabilities of the R5F104LCAFB#10?
The R5F104LCAFB#10 integrates an 8/10-bit successive-approximation ADC with up to 20 input channels, internal 1.45 V reference voltage, and on-chip temperature sensor. It also includes two 8-bit DAC channels with 0–VDD output range and real-time output capability, plus up to two comparators with selectable internal/external reference and window mode. These peripherals are fully functional across the full 1.6–5.5 V supply range, enabling direct sensor interfacing without external signal conditioning.
How does the R5F104LCAFB#10 manage power in battery-operated applications?
The R5F104LCAFB#10 achieves ultra-low-power operation with 0.60 μA current consumption in STOP mode with only RTC and LVD active - verified at VDD = 1.8–5.5 V and TA = −40°C to +85°C. It supports HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE modes, plus a 14-level configurable voltage detector (LVD) for brown-out protection. The internal regulator bypass (REGC) pin requires a 0.47–1 µF capacitor to ensure stable low-noise operation during analog measurements, extending battery life in wireless sensor nodes.
Is the R5F104LCAFB#10 pin-compatible with other RL78/G14 variants in the same package?
Yes, the R5F104LCAFB#10 is pin-compatible with all other 64-pin LFQFP RL78/G14 devices sharing the FB suffix (e.g., R5F104LHAFB#10, R5F104LGAFB#10), including identical pin functions, power sequencing, and reset behavior. This allows direct substitution within the same package footprint for memory scaling or temperature grade upgrades without PCB revision - confirmed by Renesas' ordering information tables and pin configuration diagrams in R01DS0053EJ0370.
