Product details
Overview
R5F10RF8AFP#X0 from Renesas is an 8 KB flash, 1 KB RAM, 44-pin LQFP microcontroller in the RL78/L12 family, featuring integrated LCD controller/driver (up to 39 seg × 4 com), 10-bit ADC (10 channels), RTC with calendar/alarm, and ultra-low-power operation (0.64 µA in Halt mode with RTC+LVD). It targets battery-powered LCD display applications such as smart meters, thermostats, and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the R5F10RF8AFP#X0 datasheet, R5F10RF8AFP#X0 pinout, R5F10RF8AFP#X0 application, or R5F10RF8AFP#X0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 44-pin LQFP package, 8 KB code flash + 2 KB data flash, LCD drive capability with capacitor-split or internal-boost methods, and support for 1.6 V–5.5 V single-supply operation across −40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The R5F10RF8AFP#X0 implements the 16-bit RL78 CPU core delivering 31 DMIPS at 24 MHz, with 86% of instructions executed in 1–2 clock cycles and hardware multiply/accumulate support. Its low-power architecture includes multiple sleep modes-Stop (0.23 µA), Halt (0.64 µA), and Snooze-with on-chip high-speed oscillator (±1% accuracy from 1.8 V–5.5 V).
It integrates a full-featured LCD controller supporting waveform types A/B, 16-step contrast adjustment, blinking control, and three driving methods (capacitor split, internal boost, resistance division), alongside dual CSI interfaces (SPI-compatible), one I²C, one UART, and up to 8-channel 16-bit timer array with RTC and interval timer.
