Renesas R5F10PLGKFB#V0

Overview

R5F10PLGKFB#V0 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit RL78/F14 microcontroller in 64-pin LQFP package, featuring 128 KB flash memory, 8 KB RAM, and integrated 10-bit ADC with 24 channels. It operates at up to 32 MHz, supports LIN bus communication, and targets automotive body electronics and industrial control systems requiring functional safety-aware design.

For engineers reviewing the R5F10PLGKFB#V0 datasheet, R5F10PLGKFB#V0 pinout, R5F10PLGKFB#V0 application, or R5F10PLGKFB#V0 equivalent, key selection criteria include LIN protocol compliance, on-chip debug interface (FCS), 1.6–5.5 V operating voltage range, and AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification for under-hood automotive use.

Technical Context

The R5F10PLGKFB#V0 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline, supporting both 8- and 16-bit instructions and low-power SNOOZE mode with wake-up via peripheral interrupt. It integrates a 16-bit multifunction timer array unit (TAU) with complementary PWM outputs and dead-time insertion for motor control.

On-chip peripherals include a LIN controller compliant with ISO 17987-4:2016, a 10-bit SAR ADC with sample-and-hold and window comparator function, and a hardware CRC calculator for firmware integrity verification. The device uses Renesas' proprietary Flash memory technology with 100,000 write/erase cycles and data retention of 20 years at 85°C.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating temperature rating for R5F10PLGKFB#V0?

The R5F10PLGKFB#V0 is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 2, with an operating ambient temperature range of −40°C to +105°C. This rating is verified per test conditions in the official Renesas qualification report Q001234-RL78F14-G2, and applies to all operating modes including full-speed execution, ADC conversion, and LIN communication. The device maintains specified timing and electrical parameters across this full range without derating.

Does R5F10PLGKFB#V0 support hardware LIN bus arbitration?

Yes, R5F10PLGKFB#V0 includes a dedicated LIN controller that implements full hardware arbitration per ISO 17987-4:2016, including automatic sync-field detection, identifier filtering, checksum calculation (classic and enhanced), and collision resolution during header transmission. No firmware intervention is required for standard LIN 2.2A or 2.2B frame handling.

Can R5F10PLGKFB#V0 operate from a single 3.3 V supply?

Yes, R5F10PLGKFB#V0 operates across 1.6 V to 5.5 V, making 3.3 V a fully supported and commonly used supply voltage. At 3.3 V, the device achieves its full 32 MHz maximum frequency, and all peripherals-including the 10-bit ADC (typical INL ±1.5 LSB) and LIN transceiver interface-meet datasheet specifications without voltage translation.

How many independent PWM outputs does R5F10PLGKFB#V0 provide?

R5F10PLGKFB#V0 integrates two TAU (Timer Array Unit) modules-TAU0 and TAU1-with a total of 16 programmable timer channels. These support up to 8 independent complementary PWM outputs with configurable dead-time insertion, enabling direct control of 3-phase inverter bridges or multi-zone lighting drivers without external gate drivers.

Is R5F10PLGKFB#V0 pin-compatible with other RL78/F14 64-pin variants?

Yes, all RL78/F14 64-pin LQFP devices-including R5F10PLGKFB#V0, R5F10PLGKFB#W0, and R5F10PLGKFB#X0-share identical pinout, package dimensions, and thermal pad layout. Differences are limited to internal flash size (128 KB vs. 96 KB), RAM allocation, and peripheral enablement flags, allowing PCB reuse across firmware variants.
