Product details
Overview
R5F10RJAAFA#50 from Renesas is a 16-bit RL78/L12 microcontroller with integrated LCD controller/driver, 16 KB flash, 2 KB data flash, and 1 KB RAM, operating from 1.6 V to 5.5 V. It delivers 31 DMIPS at 24 MHz, consumes only 0.64 µA in RTC+LVD halt mode, and supports up to 35 seg × 8 com LCD drive for battery-powered consumer instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the R5F10RJAAFA#50 datasheet, R5F10RJAAFA#50 pinout, R5F10RJAAFA#50 application, or R5F10RJAAFA#50 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low-power LCD-optimized architecture, 52-pin LQFP (0.65 mm pitch) package, on-chip high-speed oscillator ±1% accuracy, and IEC 60730-compliant safety features for Class B appliance control.
Technical Context
The R5F10RJAAFA#50 implements a Harvard-architecture 16-bit RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline, executing 86% of instructions in 1–2 clock cycles. It integrates a dedicated LCD controller supporting capacitor split, internal boost, and resistance division methods with 16-step contrast adjustment and blinking control.
Its peripheral set includes an 8-channel timer array (with RTC, interval timer, and window watchdog), 10-bit ADC (10 channels, 2.1 µs conversion), dual CSI interfaces (SPI-compatible), one UART, one I²C, one LIN, and DMA with two programmable channels - all optimized for low-voltage, low-power operation across −40°C to +85°C ambient.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and power efficiency of the R5F10RJAAFA#50?
The R5F10RJAAFA#50 operates at up to 24 MHz using its on-chip high-speed oscillator with ±1% accuracy across voltage and temperature. It achieves 31 DMIPS performance while consuming only 62.5 µA per MHz in active mode, and drops to 0.64 µA in halt mode with RTC and LVD enabled - making it ideal for battery-critical LCD applications.
Does the R5F10RJAAFA#50 support external crystal oscillators?
Yes, the R5F10RJAAFA#50 supports external crystals on X1/X2 pins for main system clock (up to 20 MHz) and XT1/XT2 pins for subsystem clock (32.768 kHz). These are optional; the device can operate fully from its internal 24 MHz oscillator, eliminating BOM cost and board space for crystals in cost-sensitive designs.
How many LCD segments and commons does the R5F10RJAAFA#50 drive?
The R5F10RJAAFA#50 drives up to 35 segments × 8 commons or 39 segments × 4 commons, with configurable waveform types (A/B), 16-step contrast adjustment, and blinking control. Its LCD controller supports capacitor split, internal voltage boost, and resistance division methods - enabling flexible display design without external bias circuitry.
What safety certifications does the R5F10RJAAFA#50 support out of the box?
The R5F10RJAAFA#50 includes hardware-level safety features aligned with IEC 60730 Class B requirements: flash memory CRC calculation, RAM parity error detection, SFR write protection, illegal memory access monitoring, clock frequency detection, and ADC self-test - reducing software certification effort for household appliance control.
Is the R5F10RJAAFA#50 pin-compatible with other RL78/L12 variants?
Yes, all 52-pin RL78/L12 variants including R5F10RJAAFA#50, R5F10RJCAFA#50, and R5F10RJ8AFA#50 share identical pinouts and package dimensions (PLQP0052JA-A).
