Product details
Overview
R5F111MEAFB#50 from Renesas is an 80-pin RL78/L1C 16-bit microcontroller without USB, featuring 64 KB flash, 8 KB RAM, integrated LCD controller/driver (44 segment/4 common), 12-bit A/D converter (12-channel, 2.4–3.6 V range), and ultra-low power operation down to 0.68 μA in RTC2+LVD mode - designed for battery-powered LCD display systems such as smart meters and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the R5F111MEAFB#50 datasheet, R5F111MEAFB#50 pinout, R5F111MEAFB#50 application, or R5F111MEAFB#50 equivalent, key selection criteria include LCD segment drive capability, low-voltage analog performance (12-bit ADC at 2.4–3.6 V), real-time clock with calendar, and compatibility with industrial temperature range (−40 to +105°C) under G-grade specification.
Technical Context
The R5F111MEAFB#50 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture, 3-stage pipeline, and selectable instruction timing (0.04167 μs min @ 24 MHz or 30.5 μs @ 32.768 kHz). It integrates a dedicated LCD controller supporting internal voltage boosting and capacitor-split methods, with configurable segment/common outputs and built-in LCD RAM space.
Its analog subsystem includes a 12-bit A/D converter with internal reference (1.45 V TYP), temperature sensor, and dual 8-bit D/A channels; digital peripherals comprise 11× 16-bit timers, 4× UART/LIN, 5× I²C, 4× CSI, real-time clock 2 (99-year calendar), and event link controller for deterministic peripheral triggering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

FAQ
What is the maximum LCD segment count supported by the R5F111MEAFB#50?
The R5F111MEAFB#50 supports up to 44 segment outputs with 4 common lines, or 40 segments with 8 commons, depending on configuration. Its LCD controller allocates RAM space for up to 44 segments (SEG0–SEG6, SEG12–SEG25, SEG27–SEG42, SEG48–SEG55) and 8 commons (COM0–COM7), though physical drive capability is limited by the 80-pin package's I/O mapping and internal routing - confirmed in Section 1.3.2 of the R01DS0192EJ0240 datasheet.
Does the R5F111MEAFB#50 include a USB interface?
No, the R5F111MEAFB#50 does not include a USB interface. The "111" in the part number explicitly denotes the USB-disabled variant of the RL78/L1C family, as defined in Section 1.2 Ordering Information of the R01DS0192EJ0240 datasheet. USB functionality is only available in "110"-prefixed parts (e.g., R5F110MEAFB#50), which have different pin assignments including UREGC, UBUS, UDP, and UDM.
What are the valid operating voltage and temperature ranges for the R5F111MEAFB#50?
The R5F111MEAFB#50 operates from 1.6 V to 3.6 V supply voltage and is rated for −40 to +105°C ambient temperature (G-grade), as specified in Section 1.1 Features and Section 1.2 Ordering Information of the R01DS0192EJ0240 datasheet. This industrial temperature range applies to all "GFB" suffix variants, including R5F111MEAFB#50, and is validated across the full voltage range.
Can the R5F111MEAFB#50 perform 12-bit A/D conversion at 1.8 V supply?
No, the R5F111MEAFB#50 requires VDD ≥ 2.4 V to operate its 12-bit A/D converter, as stated in Section 1.1 Features: "12-bit resolution A/D converter (VDD = 2.4 to 3.6 V)". At 1.6–2.3 V, only 8/10-bit A/D operation is supported. This voltage dependency is hardware-enforced and cannot be overridden in firmware - using 12-bit mode below 2.4 V results in undefined conversion accuracy.
How many analog input channels are accessible on the R5F111MEAFB#50 in 80-pin LFQFP package?
The R5F111MEAFB#50 provides 12 dedicated analog input channels: ANI0–ANI2, ANI16–ANI21 (10 total), plus AVREFP and AVREFM - all accessible on the 80-pin LFQFP package per pin configuration diagrams in Sections 1.3.2 and 1.4 of the R01DS0192EJ0240 datasheet. ANI5 and ANI6 are only available on 85- and 100-pin variants (e.g., R5F111NEALA or R5F111PEAFB).
