FAQ
What is the maximum LCD resolution supported by the R5F10RJCGFA#X0?
The R5F10RJCGFA#X0 supports up to 35 segments × 8 commons or 39 segments × 4 commons using its integrated LCD controller/driver. This configuration is confirmed in the RL78/L12 datasheet (R01DS0157EJ0223 Rev.2.23, Page 1) and enables direct drive of alphanumeric or custom segment displays without external driver ICs. The R5F10RJCGFA#X0 uses dedicated VL1–VL4 bias outputs and COM0–COM7/SEG0–SEG36 pins to achieve this.
Does the R5F10RJCGFA#X0 include hardware support for functional safety standards?
Yes, the R5F10RJCGFA#X0 includes multiple hardware features aligned with IEC/UL 60730 Class B requirements: flash memory CRC calculation engine, RAM parity error detection, SFR write protection, illegal memory access detection, clock frequency monitoring, and ADC self-test capability. These are documented in Section 1.1 Features of the R01DS0157EJ0223 datasheet and reduce software certification burden for safety-critical applications.
What are the power supply requirements for the R5F10RJCGFA#X0's LCD driver section?
The R5F10RJCGFA#X0 requires external capacitors on CAPL (P126) and CAPH (P127) pins to enable its internal voltage boost method for LCD bias generation. A 0.47–1 µF capacitor must also be placed between REGC and VSS to stabilize the internal regulator. The VL1–VL4 outputs provide programmable LCD bias voltages, and the device supports capacitor split and resistance division methods as alternatives.
Can the R5F10RJCGFA#X0 operate from a single 3.3 V supply in both active and low-power modes?
Yes, the R5F10RJCGFA#X0 operates across 1.6 V to 5.5 V, fully supporting 3.3 V single-supply operation in all modes. Its active current is 62.5 µA/MHz at 24 MHz, and it achieves 0.64 µA in Halt mode (RTC + LVD enabled) at 3.3 V. This is verified in the "Ultra-Low Power Technology" section (Page 1) of the R01DS0157EJ0223 datasheet.
How many analog input channels does the R5F10RJCGFA#X0 support, and what is their resolution?
The R5F10RJCGFA#X0 integrates a 10-bit successive approximation ADC with up to 10 input channels (ANI0–ANI23, with channel mapping dependent on pin configuration). Conversion time is 2.1 µs, and it supports operation down to 1.6 V supply with an internal 1.45 V reference voltage. This is specified in the "Rich Analog" feature list (Page 1) and Table 1-1 pinout summary (Page 4) of the datasheet.
