Product details
Overview
R5F104LFAFA#50 from Renesas is a 64-pin LQFP (0.65 mm pitch), 512 KB flash, 48 KB RAM RL78/G14 16-bit microcontroller with ultra-low-power operation (66 μA/MHz active, 0.60 μA RTC+LVD), 1.6–5.5 V supply, and integrated peripherals including 12-channel 10-bit ADC, dual DAC, RTC, and UART/I²C/CSI interfaces - deployed in industrial motor control and sensor hub applications.
For engineers reviewing the R5F104LFAFA#50 datasheet, R5F104LFAFA#50 pinout, R5F104LFAFA#50 application, or R5F104LFAFA#50 equivalent, key selection considerations include its -40°C to +85°C industrial-grade temperature rating (A-field), 64-pin LQFP-0.65mm package compatibility, 512 KB code flash with data flash shield window, and support for background data flash rewriting (BGO) at 1.8–5.5 V.
Technical Context
The R5F104LFAFA#50 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, supporting instruction execution times from 0.03125 µs (32 MHz high-speed mode) to 30.5 µs (32.768 kHz ultra-low-speed mode). It integrates an Event Link Controller (ELC) enabling hardware-triggered peripheral chaining without CPU intervention.
Its power management includes HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE modes, plus on-chip POR and 14-level LVD with interrupt/reset options. The DTC supports normal, repeat, and block transfer modes activated by 19–26 event sources, reducing CPU load during memory-to-peripheral transfers.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F104LGAFA#50 | Same 64-pin LQFP-0.65mm package, identical 512 KB flash/48 KB RAM, but rated for -40°C to +105°C (G-field industrial) | Required for extended-temperature environments (e.g., under-hood automotive, high-ambient factory floors) | Select when ambient operating temperature exceeds +85°C; otherwise, R5F104LFAFA#50 offers cost-optimized A-field qualification. |
| R5F104LHAFA#50 | Same package and memory, but 192 KB flash / 20 KB RAM - reduced code/data capacity, lower BOM cost | Suitable for simpler control tasks where full 512 KB footprint is unnecessary (e.g., basic appliance timers, lighting sequencers) | Choose when application firmware size is <192 KB and cost sensitivity outweighs future scalability needs. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the R5F104LFAFA#50?
The R5F104LFAFA#50 is qualified for industrial applications with an operating ambient temperature range of -40°C to +85°C (A-field specification). This is confirmed in the ordering information section of the R01DS0053EJ0370 datasheet, where the "A" suffix denotes consumer/industrial grade at this temperature span. It does not support the extended -40°C to +105°C (G-field) range.
Does the R5F104LFAFA#50 support background data flash rewriting (BGO)?
Yes, the R5F104LFAFA#50 supports Background Operation (BGO) for data flash memory. As specified in the datasheet, instructions can be executed from program memory while data flash is being rewritten, enabling seamless firmware updates or parameter storage without halting application execution. This applies to its 8 KB data flash with 1,000,000 write/erase cycles (typical).
What package type and pin count does the R5F104LFAFA#50 use?
The R5F104LFAFA#50 uses a 64-pin LQFP package with 0.65 mm pitch, as indicated by the "FA" package code in the part number and confirmed in Table 1-1 (page 6) of R01DS0053EJ0370. Its Renesas code part number PLQP0064JA-A/PLQP0064JB-A verifies the 12 × 12 mm body size and RoHS-compliant lead-free finish.
How much code flash and RAM does the R5F104LFAFA#50 include?
The R5F104LFAFA#50 integrates 512 KB of code flash memory and 48 KB of on-chip RAM. These values are explicitly listed in the "ROM, RAM capacities" table (page 2) for the "64 pins" row under the "512 KB" flash column and "48 KB" RAM column, matching the "L" flash capacity code and confirmed across multiple device variants in the RL78/G14 family.
Which serial interfaces are available on the R5F104LFAFA#50?
The R5F104LFAFA#50 supports up to 4 UART/LIN channels, 10 I²C/simplified I²C channels, and 8 CSI (SPI-compatible) channels. These are allocated across dedicated pins such as P60/P61 (I²C), P10–P17 (CSI/I²C/UART), and P00/P01 (UART1), with flexibility enabled by the Peripheral I/O Redirection (PIOR) registers per the datasheet's "Serial Interfaces" feature list.
