Overview
R5F104LEAFA#50 from Renesas is a 48-pin LQFP-0.65 mm pitch, 48 KB flash, 5.5 KB RAM RL78/G14 16-bit microcontroller with ultra-low-power operation (66 μA/MHz), 32 MHz max CPU speed, and integrated peripherals including 10-bit ADC (16 channels), UART/LIN (3 channels), I²C (4 channels), and RTC. It targets battery-powered industrial sensors and smart metering interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the R5F104LEAFA#50 datasheet, R5F104LEAFA#50 pinout, R5F104LEAFA#50 application, or R5F104LEAFA#50 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 48-pin LQFP package, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade (A-field), 48 KB code flash with data flash, and support for SNOOZE mode wake-up via peripheral events.
Technical Context
The R5F104LEAFA#50 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). It integrates a Data Transfer Controller (DTC) for autonomous memory transfers and an Event Link Controller (ELC) enabling direct peripheral-to-peripheral event triggering without CPU intervention.
Its power management includes HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE modes, with real-time clock operation at 0.60 μA and on-chip voltage detector (LVD) offering 14 selectable reset/interrupt thresholds. The high-speed on-chip oscillator delivers ±1.0% accuracy across 1.8–5.5 V and -20°C to +85°C.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F104LEAFA#50?
The R5F104LEAFA#50 supports a maximum CPU clock frequency of 32 MHz using the high-speed on-chip oscillator, delivering 44 DMIPS performance. This frequency is achievable across the full 1.6–5.5 V supply range and -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, with ±1.0% oscillator accuracy specified at 1.8–5.5 V and -20°C to +85°C.
Does the R5F104LEAFA#50 include an integrated ADC, and what are its key specifications?
Yes, the R5F104LEAFA#50 integrates a 10-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with up to 16 analog input channels. It features an internal 1.45 V reference voltage and an on-chip temperature sensor. The ADC operates across the full 1.6–5.5 V supply range and supports programmable sample-and-hold timing, making it suitable for precision sensor interfacing in industrial and metering applications.
What debug interfaces are supported by the R5F104LEAFA#50?
The R5F104LEAFA#50 supports on-chip debugging via a dedicated UART channel using pins P50 (TOOLRxD) and P51 (TOOLTxD), eliminating the need for external debug probes in basic development and field firmware updates. It also supports the Renesas E1/E20 emulator interface through the SWD/JTAG-compatible debug port, enabling full-featured breakpoint, trace, and memory inspection capabilities during development.
Is the R5F104LEAFA#50 qualified for industrial temperature operation?
Yes, the R5F104LEAFA#50 is rated for industrial operation from -40°C to +85°C (A-field specification). This qualification covers all electrical characteristics, timing parameters, and reliability testing per Renesas' industrial-grade standards, ensuring stable performance in factory automation, building controls, and outdoor metering equipment.
How does the SNOOZE mode function on the R5F104LEAFA#50, and which peripherals can wake the device?
SNOOZE mode on the R5F104LEAFA#50 halts the CPU while allowing selected peripherals-including the RTC, ADC, UART, and ELC-linked modules-to remain active. Wake-up is triggered by events such as RTC alarm, ADC conversion completion, UART receive interrupt, or ELC-configured peripheral signals. This enables deterministic, low-latency response with average current significantly lower than active mode.
