Product details
Overview
R5F10RG8AFB#70 from Renesas is an 8 KB flash, 1 KB RAM, 48-pin LFQFP microcontroller in the RL78/L12 family, featuring integrated LCD controller/driver (up to 35 seg × 8 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 systems such as smart meters and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the R5F10RG8AFB#70 datasheet, R5F10RG8AFB#70 pinout, R5F10RG8AFB#70 application, or R5F10RG8AFB#70 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 48-pin 0.5 mm pitch LFQFP package, 1.6–5.5 V supply range, on-chip LCD bias generation, and support for capacitor-split or internal-boost LCD drive methods - all critical for space-constrained, low-power human-interface designs.
Technical Context
The R5F10RG8AFB#70 implements the 16-bit RL78 CPU core delivering 31 DMIPS at 24 MHz, with Harvard architecture, 3-stage pipeline, and 86% of instructions executed in 1–2 cycles. It integrates a high-speed on-chip oscillator (±1% accuracy from 1.8–5.5 V and −20°C to +85°C) and supports multiple clock sources including external crystal (X1/X2) and subsystem clock (XT1/XT2).
Its peripheral set includes two CSI interfaces (SPI-compatible), one I²C, one UART, up to eight 16-bit timer channels, DMA controller (2 channels), and safety features compliant with IEC/UL 60730 - including flash CRC, RAM parity check, and illegal memory access detection - enabling functional safety in consumer-grade applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and performance of the R5F10RG8AFB#70?
The R5F10RG8AFB#70 operates at up to 24 MHz using its high-speed on-chip oscillator, delivering 31 DMIPS. Its 16-bit RL78 core executes 86% of instructions in 1–2 clock cycles, enabling responsive real-time control in LCD-driven applications without external acceleration.
Does the R5F10RG8AFB#70 support external crystals, and what are the valid frequencies?
Yes, the R5F10RG8AFB#70 supports external crystals on pins X1/P121 and X2/P122 for the main system clock (1–20 MHz) and XT1/P123 for the subsystem clock (32.768 kHz). These enable precise RTC operation and stable high-speed execution independent of on-chip oscillator drift.
How does the R5F10RG8AFB#70 manage LCD bias, and what drive methods are supported?
The R5F10RG8AFB#70 integrates an LCD controller supporting three bias methods: capacitor-split (using CAPL/CAPH pins), internal voltage boost (generating VL1–VL4), and external resistor division. This flexibility allows optimization for power, cost, or contrast in diverse LCD glass configurations.
What low-power modes are available on the R5F10RG8AFB#70, and what peripherals remain active?
The R5F10RG8AFB#70 offers Stop mode (0.23 µA, RAM retained) and Halt mode (0.64 µA with RTC + LVD active). In Halt mode, the real-time clock, low-voltage detector, and wakeup interrupts remain functional - enabling time-triggered wake-up without full system restart.
Is the R5F10RG8AFB#70 pin-compatible with other RL78/L12 variants in the same package?
Yes, all 48-pin LFQFP RL78/L12 variants - including R5F10RG8AFB#70, R5F10RFAAFB#70, and R5F10RGAGFB#70 - share identical pinouts and package dimensions. Firmware and PCB layouts are interchangeable across flash size and temperature grade variants.
