Product details
Overview
R5F109GECKFB#10 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit RL78/F12 microcontroller in a 48-pin LQFP package, featuring 64 KB flash memory, 4 KB RAM, and integrated 10-bit ADC, UART, I²C, and SPI interfaces. It operates at up to 24 MHz with low-power SNOOZE mode and supports automotive-grade temperature range (−40°C to +105°C) for body control modules and sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the R5F109GECKFB#10 datasheet, R5F109GECKFB#10 pinout, R5F109GECKFB#10 application, or R5F109GECKFB#10 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 48-pin LQFP footprint, 64 KB on-chip flash with EEPROM emulation, hardware multiplier, and support for LIN bus via UART with automatic sync detection - critical for cost-sensitive automotive and industrial embedded designs.
Technical Context
The R5F109GECKFB#10 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline, supporting 16-bit ALU operations and 8/16-bit data handling. It integrates a 15-channel 10-bit ADC with programmable sampling time and built-in temperature sensor, plus dual watchdog timers (independent and windowed) for functional safety compliance.
Its peripheral set includes three 16-bit timer arrays (TAU) with PWM output, real-time clock (RTC) with calendar function, and voltage detector (LVD) with 12 selectable thresholds. The MCU uses Renesas' proprietary "Simplified Flash" programming architecture enabling fast erase/write cycles without external high-voltage supply.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F109GECKFB#10?
The R5F109GECKFB#10 operates at a maximum CPU frequency of 24 MHz using its on-chip high-speed oscillator or an external crystal. This frequency is fully supported across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +105°C) and all supply voltages (1.6 V to 5.5 V). The RL78 core's 3-stage pipeline ensures consistent instruction execution timing, making the R5F109GECKFB#10 suitable for deterministic real-time tasks such as motor commutation and LIN message scheduling.
Does the R5F109GECKFB#10 support LIN bus communication natively?
Yes, the R5F109GECKFB#10 supports LIN 2.2A-compliant communication through its UART peripheral with dedicated hardware features: automatic sync-break detection, configurable baud rate generation, and checksum calculation for response frames. No external LIN transceiver is required for basic slave-node functionality, though a physical layer IC is needed for bus termination and ESD protection. This capability is confirmed in the RL78/F12 User's Manual Rev.1.20 section 2.2.11.
What packaging and lead finish does the R5F109GECKFB#10 use?
The R5F109GECKFB#10 is supplied in a 48-pin LQFP package (7 mm × 7 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with lead-free (Pb-free) matte tin finish, compliant with JEDEC J-STD-020 MSL3 handling requirements. The package marking includes the part number, date code, and Renesas logo. This footprint matches other 48-pin RL78/F12 variants like R5F100Gx, enabling layout reuse across firmware-compatible devices.
How much EEPROM emulation capacity is available on the R5F109GECKFB#10?
The R5F109GECKFB#10 provides 64 bytes of user-configurable EEPROM emulation space within its 64 KB flash memory, managed by Renesas' Flash Self-Programming Library (FSPL). This area supports up to 100,000 write/erase cycles with automatic wear leveling and data retention exceeding 20 years at +85°C. Applications include storing calibration coefficients, device serial numbers, and runtime configuration parameters without external nonvolatile memory.
Is the R5F109GECKFB#10 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the R5F109GECKFB#10 is rated for the automotive temperature range (−40°C to +105°C) and conforms to AEC-Q100 Grade 2 stress test requirements. It is designated as a "Standard" quality grade per Renesas documentation, intended for body electronics, chassis, and comfort systems - not safety-critical powertrain or ADAS functions. Its dual watchdog timers, LVD, and CRC hardware support functional safety development per ISO 26262 ASIL-B decomposition strategies.
