Product details
Overview
R5F10RJ8GFA#10 from Renesas is an 8 KB flash, 1.5 KB RAM, 52-pin LQFP 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, thermostats, and industrial HMI panels.
For engineers reviewing the R5F10RJ8GFA#10 datasheet, R5F10RJ8GFA#10 pinout, R5F10RJ8GFA#10 application, or R5F10RJ8GFA#10 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 52-pin 0.65 mm pitch LQFP package, industrial-grade −40°C to +105°C operation, on-chip LCD drive capability with capacitor-split and internal-boost methods, and support for I²C, UART, and simplified SPI interfaces.
Technical Context
The R5F10RJ8GFA#10 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. Its low-power design integrates a high-speed on-chip oscillator (±1% accuracy from 1.8 V to 5.5 V), programmable LVD (14 voltage thresholds), and snooze mode for selective peripheral wake-up.
It embeds a dedicated LCD controller supporting waveform types A/B, 16-step contrast adjustment, blinking control, and three drive methods-capacitor split (0.12 µA LCD current), internal voltage boost (0.63 µA at VDD = 3.0 V), and resistance division-enabling direct drive of segment-based displays without external bias circuitry.
