Product details
Overview
R5F10WLAAFB#50 from Renesas is a 16-bit RL78/L13 microcontroller with integrated LCD controller/driver, 16 KB flash, 4 KB data flash, and 1 KB RAM. It operates from 1.6 V to 5.5 V, delivers 31 DMIPS at 24 MHz, and achieves ultra-low power consumption (71 μA/MHz active, 0.61 μA in RTC+LVD STOP mode). Designed for battery-powered LCD-based consumer devices such as smart meters, thermostats, and portable medical displays.
For engineers reviewing the R5F10WLAAFB#50 datasheet, R5F10WLAAFB#50 pinout, R5F10WLAAFB#50 application, or R5F10WLAAFB#50 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 64-pin LFQFP-0.5 mm package, 36-segment/4-common LCD drive capability, dual comparator support, and hardware UART/LIN, CSI, and I²C interfaces - all within a -40°C to +85°C industrial-grade temperature range.
Technical Context
The R5F10WLAAFB#50 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture and 3-stage pipeline, supporting configurable instruction execution times from 0.04167 µs (24 MHz on-chip oscillator) to 30.5 µs (32.768 kHz subsystem clock). Its memory map spans 1 MB address space, with on-chip debug, self-programming flash, and background data flash rewriting (BGO).
Power management includes HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE modes, POR/LVD reset circuitry with 14-level voltage detection, and a dedicated low-speed on-chip oscillator for watchdog operation. The peripheral set integrates an 8-channel 16-bit timer array (TAU), real-time clock 2 with calendar and alarm, 9-channel 8/10-bit ADC, and 2-channel comparator with selectable internal/external reference inputs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding performance of the R5F10WLAAFB#50?
The R5F10WLAAFB#50 achieves a maximum operating frequency of 24 MHz using its high-accuracy on-chip oscillator (±1.0%), delivering 31 DMIPS. At this speed, minimum instruction execution time is 0.04167 µs. Performance scales linearly down to 32.768 kHz (30.5 µs/instruction) for ultra-low-power RTC or sleep-mode operations - all within the specified 1.6 V to 5.5 V supply range.
Does the R5F10WLAAFB#50 support hardware LIN bus communication?
Yes, the R5F10WLAAFB#50 supports LIN bus communication via its UART channel, which includes LIN-break detection and synchronization field generation per LIN 2.x specifications. This capability is implemented in hardware without CPU intervention, enabling reliable slave-node operation in automotive body electronics or industrial control networks.
How many LCD segments and commons does the R5F10WLAAFB#50 drive, and what bias methods are supported?
The R5F10WLAAFB#50 drives up to 36 segment outputs and 4 common outputs (or 32 segments/8 commons in alternate configuration). It supports three LCD bias methods: internal voltage boosting, capacitor split, and external resistance division - allowing flexible contrast adjustment and compatibility with diverse LCD glass types without external components.
What are the power supply requirements and low-power modes available on the R5F10WLAAFB#50?
The R5F10WLAAFB#50 operates from a single 1.6 V to 5.5 V supply and features HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE low-power modes. In STOP mode with RTC and LVD active, current consumption is 0.61 μA typical. HALT mode draws 71 μA/MHz during active operation. All modes retain RAM content and allow wake-up via interrupts, timers, or external pins - critical for energy harvesting and battery longevity.
Can the R5F10WLAAFB#50 perform self-programming of its flash memory during runtime?
Yes, the R5F10WLAAFB#50 supports full self-programming of both code and data flash memory, including boot swap functionality and flash shield window protection. Data flash supports background operation (BGO), allowing program execution from flash while rewriting data flash - essential for over-the-air updates and parameter storage in field-deployed devices.
