Product details
Overview
R5F10E8AALA#U0 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit RL78/G1A microcontroller in a 25-pin WFLGA (3 × 3 mm) package, featuring 16 KB flash, 4 KB data flash, 2 KB RAM, 12-bit ADC with up to 13 channels, and ultra-low-power operation down to 0.23 µA in Stop mode. It integrates UART, I²C, CSI, RTC with calendar/alarm, and programmable buzzer output - deployed in battery-powered sensor nodes and portable industrial controls.
For engineers reviewing the R5F10E8AALA#U0 datasheet, R5F10E8AALA#U0 pinout, R5F10E8AALA#U0 application, or R5F10E8AALA#U0 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated 25-pin WFLGA terminal mapping, confirmed low-voltage (1.6 V–3.6 V) operation, and real-world use cases in energy-constrained embedded systems requiring RTC, analog sensing, and serial communication.
Technical Context
The R5F10E8AALA#U0 implements the RL78 CPU core with Harvard architecture, 3-stage pipeline, and 86% of instructions executed in 1–2 clock cycles. It supports dual-clock domains: high-speed on-chip oscillator (up to 32 MHz ±1% over −20°C to +85°C) and low-speed 32.768 kHz subsystem clock for RTC.
Its peripheral set includes one UART channel (RxD0/TxD0), one simplified I²C (IICA0), one CSI channel (CSI00), 13-channel 12-bit ADC with internal 1.45 V reference and temperature sensor, and 8-channel timer array with PWM capability - all operating within 1.6 V–3.6 V supply range and −40°C to +85°C ambient.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and core performance of the R5F10E8AALA#U0?
The R5F10E8AALA#U0 operates at up to 32 MHz using its high-speed on-chip oscillator, delivering 41 DMIPS. Its 16-bit RL78 core executes 86% of instructions in 1–2 clock cycles, enabling deterministic real-time response in control loops and sensor processing without external acceleration.
Does the R5F10E8AALA#U0 support hardware RTC with calendar functions?
Yes, the R5F10E8AALA#U0 includes a full-featured RTC with BCD calendar, alarm interrupt, and watch correction function. It operates from the 32.768 kHz subsystem clock (XT1/EXCLKS) and maintains timekeeping in Halt mode at just 0.57 µA - critical for timestamped logging in battery-powered systems.
How many analog input channels does the R5F10E8AALA#U0 have, and what is their resolution?
The R5F10E8AALA#U0 features 13 analog input channels with 12-bit resolution and 3.375 µs conversion time. It supports internal 1.45 V reference voltage and an on-chip temperature sensor, allowing direct measurement of battery voltage, thermistors, and other analog signals without external components.
What communication interfaces are integrated into the R5F10E8AALA#U0?
The R5F10E8AALA#U0 integrates one UART channel (RxD0/TxD0), one simplified I²C master interface (IICA0), and one CSI channel (SPI-compatible). It does not include LIN, multi-master I²C, or additional UARTs - making it ideal for point-to-point sensor or actuator communication in minimal-footprint designs.
Is the R5F10E8AALA#U0 pin-compatible with other RL78/G1A variants like R5F10EBx or R5F10EGx?
No, the R5F10E8AALA#U0 uses a 25-pin WFLGA package, while R5F10EBx (32-pin HWQFN) and R5F10EGx (48/64-pin QFP/QFN/BGA) have different pin counts, layouts, and peripheral mappings. Direct replacement requires PCB redesign; functional alternatives must be selected based on package and feature alignment, not pin compatibility.
