Product details
Overview
R5F10NMGDFB#50 from Renesas is an 80-pin RL78/I1C 16-bit microcontroller designed for electric AMI power meter applications. It features 128 KB code flash, 2 KB data flash, 8 KB RAM, hardware AES encryption, independent-power-supply RTC, and operates from 1.9 V to 5.5 V across –40°C to +85°C. Its ultra-low-power HALT/STOP/SNOOZE modes and ΔΣ A/D converter support precision metrology in battery-backed utility meters.
For engineers reviewing the R5F10NMGDFB#50 datasheet, R5F10NMGDFB#50 pinout, R5F10NMGDFB#50 application, or R5F10NMGDFB#50 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 80-pin LFQFP package, AES-128/192/256 support, 3-channel 24-bit ΔΣ ADC, RTC with calendar/alarm, and compatibility with I²C, UART (LIN-capable), CSI, and IrDA interfaces in constrained-power metering systems.
Technical Context
The R5F10NMGDFB#50 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture, 3-stage pipeline, and configurable instruction timing (0.04167 µs min @ 24 MHz high-speed on-chip oscillator). It integrates a 32-bit multiplier/accumulator, BCD correction circuit, and event link controller (ELC) enabling peripheral-to-peripheral signal chaining without CPU intervention.
Its power architecture includes dual voltage domains (VDD/EVDD0), independent RTC power supply (VRTC), on-chip POR/LVD circuits with 13-level detection, and hardware AES engine supporting GCM/ECB/CBC modes - all optimized for secure, long-life, low-maintenance smart meter deployments requiring tamper resistance and time-stamped energy logging.

The R5F10NMGDFB#50 supports a maximum CPU clock of 32 MHz using the PLL clock source. This frequency is achievable with VDD ≥ 2.8 V and enables minimum instruction execution time of 0.03125 µs. The high-speed on-chip oscillator also supports up to 24 MHz operation with ±1.0% accuracy across full temperature and voltage range.
Does the R5F10NMGDFB#50 support hardware AES encryption?
Yes, the R5F10NMGDFB#50 includes a dedicated hardware AES engine supporting GCM, ECB, and CBC cipher modes with 128-, 192-, and 256-bit key lengths. This capability is confirmed in the datasheet's "AES Circuit" section and is specific to the R5F10N product family - critical for DLMS/COSEM-compliant secure metering communications.
How many channels does the ΔΣ A/D converter have on the R5F10NMGDFB#50?
The R5F10NMGDFB#50 integrates a 24-bit ΔΣ A/D converter with 3 dedicated channels (ΔΣ ADC0–ADC2), as specified in the "Outline of Functions" table for 80-pin devices. Each channel accepts differential analog inputs (ANIPx/ANINx) and is optimized for high-precision current/voltage sensing in Class 0.2 electricity meters.
What is the RTC capability of the R5F10NMGDFB#50?
The R5F10NMGDFB#50 features an independent-power-supply RTC with calendar function covering 99 years, alarm interrupt, clock correction via 32.768 kHz crystal, and 1 Hz/64 Hz output (RTCOUT). It operates from VRTC ≥ 1.6 V and retains time during main power loss using VBAT - essential for time-stamped energy logging in AMI meters.
Is the R5F10NMGDFB#50 pin-compatible with other RL78/I1C variants?
Yes, the R5F10NMGDFB#50 is pin-compatible with other 80-pin RL78/I1C devices in the same LFQFP-80 package (e.g., R5F10NMEDFB#50, R5F10NMJDFB#50), sharing identical pin configuration, power domains, and peripheral mappings. This allows hardware reuse across memory/AES variants while maintaining layout and signal integrity.
