Product details
Overview
R5F104LGALA#U0 from Renesas is a 64-pin FLGA-packaged RL78/G14 16-bit microcontroller with 512 KB flash, 48 KB RAM, and 8 KB data flash, operating from 1.6–5.5 V at -40 to +105°C (industrial G-grade). It delivers 44 DMIPS at 32 MHz, features ultra-low power consumption (66 μA/MHz active, 0.60 μA RTC+LVD), and integrates UART, I²C, SPI, 16-bit timers, 10-bit ADC (20 ch), RTC, and on-chip oscillators for embedded control in industrial sensors and motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the R5F104LGALA#U0 datasheet, R5F104LGALA#U0 pinout, R5F104LGALA#U0 application, or R5F104LGALA#U0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its FLGA-64 package compatibility, industrial temperature rating, integrated data flash rewrite capability (1M cycles), and support for background operation during flash programming - critical for firmware-over-the-air updates and real-time logging.
Technical Context
The R5F104LGALA#U0 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture, 3-stage pipeline, and configurable instruction timing (0.03125 µs @ 32 MHz to 30.5 µs @ 32.768 kHz). It supports multiply/divide/accumulate instructions and 1 MB address space, enabling deterministic real-time execution in resource-constrained systems.
Its peripheral set includes Event Link Controller (ELC) for hardware-triggered peripheral chaining, Data Transfer Controller (DTC) with block/repeat/chain transfer modes, and simplified SPI (CSI), UART/LIN, and I²C interfaces - all configurable via register settings without CPU intervention, reducing interrupt latency and firmware overhead.

|---|---|---|---|
| R5F104LLAFA | LQFP-64 package (12×12 mm, 0.65 mm pitch); identical memory/peripherals; same G-grade temp range | Requires PCB layout change due to larger footprint and different thermal pad; better heat dissipation for sustained 32 MHz operation | Select when board space permits larger package and thermal management is prioritized over miniaturization |
| R5F104LGAFB | LFQFP-64 package (10×10 mm, 0.5 mm pitch); same flash/RAM/data flash specs; identical G-grade rating | Compatible pinout but different mechanical mounting and solder reflow profile; no exposed die pad | Choose for legacy LQFP assembly lines or where FLGA rework complexity is prohibitive |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the R5F104LGALA#U0?
The R5F104LGALA#U0 is rated for industrial applications with an operating ambient temperature range of -40°C to +105°C (G-grade), validated per JEDEC JESD22-A108. This specification applies to the full functional operation of all peripherals including ADC, RTC, and flash programming - confirmed in the R01DS0053EJ0370 datasheet Section 1.1.
Does the R5F104LGALA#U0 support background data flash rewriting?
Yes, the R5F104LGALA#U0 supports background operation (BGO) for data flash rewriting: instructions can execute from program memory while data flash is being rewritten. Its 8 KB data flash is rated for 1,000,000 write cycles at VDD = 1.8–5.5 V, enabling reliable firmware parameter storage and field-updatable calibration tables without halting application code.
What package type and dimensions does the R5F104LGALA#U0 use?
The R5F104LGALA#U0 uses a 64-pin FLGA (Fine Pitch Land Grid Array) package measuring 5 mm × 5 mm with 0.5 mm pitch. It is RoHS-compliant, moisture-sensitive level 3, and features a bottom-side thermal pad recommended to be connected to VSS for optimal thermal performance - detailed in Renesas Package Code PWLG0064KA-A.
How many analog input channels does the R5F104LGALA#U0 support?
The R5F104LGALA#U0 supports up to 20 analog input channels (ANI0–ANI19) with 10-bit resolution, operating across the full 1.6–5.5 V supply range. Dedicated AVREFP/AVREFM pins enable ratiometric or absolute voltage measurements, and an internal 1.45 V reference is available - all confirmed in the "A/D Converter" section of the R01DS0053EJ0370 datasheet.
Is the R5F104LGALA#U0 pin-compatible with other RL78/G14 variants?
No - the R5F104LGALA#U0 is not pin-compatible with other RL78/G14 variants due to its FLGA-64 package, which differs mechanically and electrically from LQFP, LFQFP, and HWQFN packages used by other members of the family. Pin assignments, power/ground distribution, and thermal pad requirements are unique to the FLGA variant, requiring dedicated PCB layout.
