FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding DMIPS rating for the R5F104LEAFA#V0?
The R5F104LEAFA#V0 operates up to 32 MHz with a measured performance of 44 DMIPS. This benchmark reflects its RL78 CPU core efficiency under typical compiler-optimized code execution, enabling deterministic response in motor control and communication protocol stacks. The R5F104LEAFA#V0 achieves this while maintaining ultra-low active current consumption of 66 μA/MHz.
Does the R5F104LEAFA#V0 support background data flash rewriting while executing application code?
Yes, the R5F104LEAFA#V0 supports Background Operation (BGO) for data flash memory, allowing instruction execution from program memory during data flash erase/write cycles. This feature enables seamless parameter logging or firmware configuration updates without halting real-time tasks. The R5F104LEAFA#V0 guarantees 1,000,000 rewrite cycles at VDD = 1.8–5.5 V.
What low-power modes are available on the R5F104LEAFA#V0, and what is the lowest achievable current draw?
The R5F104LEAFA#V0 offers HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE modes. In STOP mode with only RTC and LVD active, it draws just 0.60 μA at VDD = 3.0 V and TA = 25°C - ideal for decade-long battery operation in environmental sensors. Wake-up latency is under 10 μs from HALT mode, preserving responsiveness in duty-cycled systems. The R5F104LEAFA#V0's power management is fully configurable via dedicated registers.
Can the R5F104LEAFA#V0 generate precise PWM signals for motor control applications?
Yes, the R5F104LEAFA#V0 integrates Timer Array Unit (TAU) with up to 8 channels capable of complementary PWM output, dead-time insertion, and synchronous reload - essential for BLDC and stepper motor drives. Its 16-bit resolution and independent prescalers allow fine-grained speed and torque control. The R5F104LEAFA#V0 also supports hardware fault detection via comparator window mode linked to PWM shutdown.
Is an external crystal required for real-time clock functionality on the R5F104LEAFA#V0?
No, the R5F104LEAFA#V0 includes a dedicated low-frequency oscillator circuit that supports direct connection of a 32.768 kHz crystal to P121/P122 for high-accuracy RTC operation (calendar, alarm, correction). It also allows RC-based RTC if absolute timekeeping precision is not required. The R5F104LEAFA#V0's RTC retains functionality in STOP mode with only 0.60 μA current draw.
