Product details
Overview
R5F10RJ8AFA#30 from Renesas is an 8 KB flash, 1.5 KB RAM, 52-pin LQFP (10 × 10 mm, 0.65 mm pitch) RL78/L12 microcontroller with integrated LCD controller/driver (up to 35 seg × 8 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 and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the R5F10RJ8AFA#30 datasheet, R5F10RJ8AFA#30 pinout, R5F10RJ8AFA#30 application, or R5F10RJ8AFA#30 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed LCD drive capability (capacitor split/internal boost), real-time clock integration, and direct alternative options for consumer-grade low-power embedded designs.
Technical Context
The R5F10RJ8AFA#30 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 (24 MHz ±1% over voltage/temperature) and supports multiple clock sources including external crystal (X1/X2) and subsystem clock (XT1/XT2).
Its peripheral set includes dual CSI interfaces (SPI-compatible), one I²C, one UART, up to 8-channel 16-bit timer array, DMA (2 channels), and safety features compliant with IEC/UL 60730 - including flash CRC, RAM parity, SFR write protection, and illegal memory access detection.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-power LCD microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F10RJAAFA#30 | 16 KB flash, same 52-pin LQFP package, identical peripherals and power specs | Requires larger firmware image; suitable when bootloader, OTA, or enhanced feature set needed | Select when >8 KB code space is required without changing PCB layout or LCD timing constraints |
| R5F10RG8AFB#30 | 48-pin LFQFP (7×7 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), 8 KB flash, same core/peripherals but fewer I/O (44 pins vs 48) | Smaller footprint but reduced LCD segment count (max 35×4 com); no P42/P51 timer inputs | Choose for space-constrained designs where 35×4 LCD suffices and board area is critical |
