Product details
Overview
R5F104MJAFB#X0 from Renesas is a 80-pin LFQFP (0.5 mm pitch), industrial-grade RL78/G14 16-bit MCU with 192 KB flash, 20 KB RAM, and 8 KB data flash, operating from 1.6–5.5 V at -40 to +105°C (G-grade). It delivers 44 DMIPS at 32 MHz, features ultra-low-power operation (66 μA/MHz active, 0.60 μA RTC+LVD mode), and integrates UART, I²C, SPI, 12-bit ADC (20 ch), RTC, and hardware DTC/ELC for sensor and control applications in smart meters and industrial HMI.
For engineers reviewing the R5F104MJAFB#X0 datasheet, R5F104MJAFB#X0 pinout, R5F104MJAFB#X0 application, or R5F104MJAFB#X0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its G-grade temperature rating, 80-pin LFQFP-0.5 mm package, 192 KB code flash with self-programming, integrated RTC with calendar/alarm, and support for background data flash rewriting (1M cycles) - all critical for long-lifecycle industrial firmware updates and battery-backed timing systems.
Technical Context
The R5F104MJAFB#X0 implements the RL78 CPU core with a 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, supporting instruction execution times from 0.03125 μs (32 MHz high-speed oscillator) to 30.5 μs (32.768 kHz subsystem clock). Its power management includes HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE modes, plus on-chip LVD with 14 selectable voltage thresholds and POR circuitry.
Peripheral integration includes an Event Link Controller (ELC) enabling direct hardware-triggered peripheral activation (19–26 event types), Data Transfer Controller (DTC) supporting block/repeat/normal transfers with chain functionality, and dual serial interfaces: up to 4 UART/LIN channels and 10 I²C/simplified I²C channels - enabling concurrent communication with sensors, displays, and host controllers without CPU overhead.
