Product details
Overview
R5F10RFAAFP#50 from Renesas is an 8 KB flash, 1 KB RAM, 44-pin LQFP RL78/L12 16-bit microcontroller with integrated LCD controller/driver (up to 39 seg × 4 com), 10-bit ADC (10 channels), RTC, and ultra-low-power operation (0.64 µA in Halt mode with RTC + LVD). It targets battery-powered LCD display systems such as smart meters, thermostats, and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the R5F10RFAAFP#50 datasheet, R5F10RFAAFP#50 pinout, R5F10RFAAFP#50 application, or R5F10RFAAFP#50 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 44-pin LQFP-0.8 mm pitch package, 1.6–5.5 V supply range, on-chip LCD drive capability with capacitor-split and internal boost methods, and IEC/UL 60730 safety features for Class B appliance control.
Technical Context
The R5F10RFAAFP#50 implements the RL78 CPU core with Harvard architecture, 3-stage pipeline, and 86% of instructions executed in 1–2 clock cycles. It supports 24 MHz max operation (31 DMIPS) with ±1% accuracy over voltage and temperature using its high-speed on-chip oscillator.
Its integrated LCD controller supports waveform types A/B, 16-step contrast adjustment, blinking, and three drive methods - capacitor split (0.12 µA), internal voltage boost (0.63 µA at 3.0 V), and resistance division - enabling direct segment/common drive without external components.
