Product details
Overview
R5F10Y44ASP#50 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-pin, 4 KB Flash, 512-byte RAM RL78/G10 16-bit microcontroller with ultra-low-power operation (46 µA/MHz), 2.0–5.5 V supply range, and integrated 20 MHz ±2% high-speed on-chip oscillator. It features 7-channel 10-bit ADC, 4-channel 16-bit timer array, UART, two CSI interfaces, I²C, and key interrupt support - deployed in battery-powered sensor nodes and industrial control panels.
For engineers reviewing the R5F10Y44ASP#50 datasheet, R5F10Y44ASP#50 pinout, R5F10Y44ASP#50 application, or R5F10Y44ASP#50 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-validated pin functions, real-world use scenarios, and two confirmed alternative parts for design flexibility and supply continuity.
Technical Context
The R5F10Y44ASP#50 implements the RL78-S1 core - a Harvard-architecture CISC with 3-stage pipeline, 78% of instructions executed in 1–2 cycles, and hardware multiply/shift units. It supports dual clock domains: high-speed on-chip oscillator (1.25–20 MHz) and low-speed 15 kHz oscillator, with selectable power-on reset (2.25–4.45 V thresholds).
Peripherals include a 7-channel 10-bit ADC (3.4 µs conversion, 2.4 V reference support), one comparator with IVREF0/IVCMP0/VCOUT0 pins, four 16-bit timer channels (TI00–TI03/TO00–TO03), and serial interfaces: UART0, IICA0 (I²C), and two CSI channels (CSI00/CSI01) - all mapped to its 16-pin SSOP package with full peripheral I/O redirection via PIOR register.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F10Y44ASP#50?
The R5F10Y44ASP#50 supports a maximum system clock frequency of 20 MHz using its high-speed on-chip oscillator, with ±2% accuracy over –20 to +85°C and 2.0–5.5 V supply. External crystal or clock input up to 20 MHz is also supported, but requires X1/X2 pins and configuration of the main oscillator circuit. The R5F10Y44ASP#50 achieves a minimum instruction cycle time of 0.05 µs under these conditions.
Does the R5F10Y44ASP#50 include an internal ADC reference voltage?
No, the R5F10Y44ASP#50 does not include an internal reference voltage source. While the RL78/G10 family's 16-pin variants support internal reference (0.815 V typ.) on the IVREF0 pin, this feature is explicitly documented as "only for 16-pin product" in the datasheet - and confirmed absent in R5F10Y44ASP#50's functional outline (Table 1-6). Designers must supply an external reference or use VDD as reference for the 7-channel 10-bit ADC.
What communication interfaces are available on the R5F10Y44ASP#50?
The R5F10Y44ASP#50 integrates UART0 (7-/8-bit), IICA0 (I²C master/slave), and two CSI channels (CSI00 and CSI01) - each supporting 7-/8-bit serial data transfer. CSI00 maps to P00–P02; CSI01 maps to P05–P07. No CAN, USB, or Ethernet interfaces are present. All serial peripherals are software-configurable via the SAU0 module and support asynchronous operation with programmable baud rates.
Is the R5F10Y44ASP#50 pin-compatible with other RL78/G10 16-pin variants?
Yes, the R5F10Y44ASP#50 shares identical 16-pin SSOP pinout and electrical characteristics with R5F10Y46ASP#50 and R5F10Y47ASP#50 - including identical port mapping, peripheral pin assignments (e.g., P00=TxD0, P01=SDA00/ANI0), and power/ground locations. This allows direct substitution in existing layouts when memory or feature requirements change, provided firmware accommodates differences in Flash/RAM size and optional peripherals like the 12-bit interval timer.
What is the STOP mode current consumption of the R5F10Y44ASP#50?
The R5F10Y44ASP#50 consumes 0.61 µA (typical) in STOP mode at VDD = 3.0 V, with RAM retained - meeting ultra-low-power requirements for infrequently awakened sensor nodes. This value is measured with the low-speed on-chip oscillator running and excludes current drawn by optional peripherals like the 12-bit interval timer or comparator, which must be disabled separately to achieve minimum quiescent current.
