Product details
Overview
R5F104LCAFB#V0 from Renesas is a 64-pin LFQFP (10 × 10 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), industrial-grade RL78/G14 16-bit MCU with 192 KB flash, 20 KB RAM, and 8 KB data flash. It operates from 1.6–5.5 V, delivers 44 DMIPS at 32 MHz, and supports ultra-low-power modes (66 μA/MHz active, 0.60 μA RTC+LVD). It targets battery-powered sensor nodes and industrial control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the R5F104LCAFB#V0 datasheet, R5F104LCAFB#V0 pinout, R5F104LCAFB#V0 application, or R5F104LCAFB#V0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 64-pin LFQFP-0.5mm package, integrated RTC + LVD + BGO-capable data flash, and support for LIN/UART/SPI/I²C in harsh ambient conditions (−40 to +85°C).
Technical Context
The R5F104LCAFB#V0 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) for autonomous memory transfers triggered by 19–26 event sources via the Event Link Controller (ELC).
Its peripheral set includes an 8/10-bit 20-channel ADC with internal 1.45 V reference and temperature sensor, dual 8-bit DAC outputs (0–VDD), two comparators with window mode, and up to 12× 16-bit timers-including calendar RTC, interval timer, watchdog, and Timer Array Unit (TAU) with capture/compare functionality.
Key Specifications
