Product details
Overview
R5F104LJAFB#X0 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, 8 KB data flash, 20 KB RAM, 1.6–5.5 V operation, and -40 to +85°C ambient range (D-grade). It integrates UART, I²C, CSI, 12-channel 16-bit timers, 10-bit ADC (16 ch), RTC, and ultra-low-power HALT/STOP/SNOOZE modes - deployed in smart metering and industrial sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the R5F104LJAFB#X0 datasheet, R5F104LJAFB#X0 pinout, R5F104LJAFB#X0 application, or R5F104LJAFB#X0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 64-pin LFQFP-0.5mm package, D-grade temperature rating, integrated data flash rewrite capability (1M cycles), real-time clock with calendar/alarm, and support for background data flash programming while executing code from main flash.
Technical Context
The R5F104LJAFB#X0 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 features an Event Link Controller (ELC) enabling direct peripheral-to-peripheral event triggering without CPU intervention, and a Data Transfer Controller (DTC) supporting block, repeat, and chain transfers activated by interrupts.
Its power management includes on-chip POR and LVD with 14 selectable voltage detection levels, plus multiple low-power modes: HALT (66 μA/MHz), STOP (0.60 μA with RTC+LVD active), and SNOOZE mode for selective peripheral wake-up. The high-accuracy on-chip oscillator delivers ±1.0% stability across 1.8–5.5 V and -20 to +85°C.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding current consumption of the R5F104LJAFB#X0?
The R5F104LJAFB#X0 operates at up to 32 MHz with a typical current draw of 66 μA per MHz in HALT mode. At full 32 MHz execution, active current is approximately 2.1 mA (VDD = 3.3 V, TA = 25°C), while STOP mode draws only 0.60 μA when RTC and LVD remain active - critical for multi-year battery operation in remote sensors.
Does the R5F104LJAFB#X0 support in-system programming and secure firmware updates?
Yes, the R5F104LJAFB#X0 supports full in-system programming via on-chip debug interface and includes flash shield window functionality to protect designated memory regions from unauthorized read/write access. Its boot swap capability enables atomic firmware updates - ensuring the R5F104LJAFB#X0 always boots from valid code after a failed OTA download.
How many I²C interfaces does the R5F104LJAFB#X0 provide, and what are their operational limits?
The R5F104LJAFB#X0 integrates up to 10 I²C/simplified I²C channels depending on variant configuration; the R5F104LJAFB#X0 specifically supports 4 I²C channels (SCLA0/SDAA0, SCLA1/SDAA1, etc.). All operate in standard (100 kHz) and fast (400 kHz) modes with programmable clock stretching and 7-/10-bit addressing - verified in the RL78/G14 datasheet Section 1.1 "Features" and Section 22 "I²C Bus Interface".
Can the R5F104LJAFB#X0 drive a segment LCD directly, and what is the maximum number of segments supported?
No, the R5F104LJAFB#X0 does not include a dedicated LCD driver peripheral. It lacks charge-pump voltage generation, COM/SEG pin multiplexing, and frame rate control required for direct LCD driving. For display interfaces, designers must use external LCD controllers or leverage GPIO-based static/dynamic driving with external bias circuitry - confirmed by absence in RL78/G14 "Outline of Functions" (Section 1.6) and peripheral listing.
What is the qualified temperature range and JEDEC moisture sensitivity level (MSL) for the R5F104LJAFB#X0 package?
The R5F104LJAFB#X0 is rated for industrial operation from -40°C to +85°C (D-field grade) and packaged in LFQFP-64 with MSL3 per J-STD-020 - requiring bake condition of 125°C/8h if floor life (168 hours at ≤30°C/60% RH) is exceeded prior to reflow. This matches Renesas' standard qualification for LFQFP devices in the RL78/G14 family.
