Product details
Overview
R5F10WMCAFA#10 from Renesas is an 80-pin LQFP (14 × 14 mm, 0.65 mm pitch) 16-bit RL78/L13 microcontroller with integrated LCD controller/driver, 64 KB flash, 4 KB data flash, 4 KB RAM, and true low-power operation down to 71 μA/MHz. It features a 24 MHz RL78 CPU core delivering 31 DMIPS, 12-channel 8/10-bit ADC, dual comparators, and hardware RTC with calendar support - optimized for battery-powered LCD-based consumer instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the R5F10WMCAFA#10 datasheet, R5F10WMCAFA#10 pinout, R5F10WMCAFA#10 application, or R5F10WMCAFA#10 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world use cases in portable meters and home appliances, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and packaging differences.
Technical Context
The R5F10WMCAFA#10 implements the RL78 CISC CPU core with 3-stage pipeline and supports multiple clock domains: high-speed on-chip oscillator (1–24 MHz, ±1.0% accuracy), subsystem clock (32.768 kHz crystal), and low-speed on-chip oscillator (15 kHz). Its power management includes HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE modes, enabling ultra-low active current (71 μA/MHz) and RTC+LVD retention at 0.61 μA.
Peripheral integration centers on LCD control (51 segment / 4 common outputs, switchable voltage-boosting), 8-channel 16-bit timer array (TAU) with PWM and remote carrier output, 4-channel DMA, and serial interfaces including UART0–3 (LIN-capable), CSI, and I²C. The device supports self-programming with boot swap and flash shield window functions.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding DMIPS rating of the R5F10WMCAFA#10?
The R5F10WMCAFA#10 operates at up to 24 MHz using its high-speed on-chip oscillator and delivers 31 DMIPS at that speed. This performance level is achieved with the RL78 CPU core's 3-stage pipeline and optimized instruction set, enabling responsive real-time control in LCD-based systems without external acceleration.
Does the R5F10WMCAFA#10 support hardware real-time clock functionality with calendar and alarm features?
Yes, the R5F10WMCAFA#10 integrates Real-Time Clock 2 (RTC2) with full calendar support (99 years), alarm interrupt, and clock correction capability. It runs independently from the main CPU using the 32.768 kHz subsystem clock, consuming only 0.61 μA in RTC+LVD retention mode - a key feature for battery-powered time-critical applications.
How many LCD segments and commons does the R5F10WMCAFA#10 support, and what drive methods are available?
The R5F10WMCAFA#10 supports up to 51 segment outputs and 4 common outputs (or 47 segments with 8 commons). It offers three configurable LCD bias methods: internal voltage boosting, capacitor split, and external resistance division - allowing flexible display selection without external bias ICs.
What are the key power-saving modes supported by the R5F10WMCAFA#10, and what are their typical current draws?
The R5F10WMCAFA#10 supports HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE modes. HALT halts the CPU while peripherals remain active (current scales with activity); STOP disables most clocks (sub-μA range); SNOOZE allows selected peripherals like UART or RTC to operate during low-power sleep. Active current is as low as 71 μA/MHz, and RTC+LVD retention draws just 0.61 μA.
Is the R5F10WMCAFA#10 pin-compatible with other RL78/L13 variants in the 80-pin LQFP package?
Yes, all RL78/L13 80-pin LQFP variants - including R5F10WMAAFA#10, R5F10WMCAFA#10, R5F10WMDAFA#10, and R5F10WMGAFA#10 - share identical pinouts and package dimensions (PLQP0080JB-E). Flash, RAM, and peripheral enablement differ by part number, but PCB layout and interconnect are fully interchangeable.
