Product details
Overview
R5F111NEALA#U0 from Renesas is an 85-pin VFLGA-packaged RL78/L1C 16-bit microcontroller without USB, featuring 64 KB flash, 8 KB data flash, 8 KB RAM, integrated LCD controller/driver (44 segment × 4 common), and 12-bit A/D converter (VDD = 2.4–3.6 V) for low-power LCD-based metering and control applications.
For engineers reviewing the R5F111NEALA#U0 datasheet, R5F111NEALA#U0 pinout, R5F111NEALA#U0 application, or R5F111NEALA#U0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 85-pin VFLGA footprint, absence of USB PHY, 64 KB code flash capacity, -40 to +85°C consumer-grade temperature range, and support for LCD bias generation via internal charge pump.
Technical Context
The R5F111NEALA#U0 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 12-bit interval timer, RTC2 with calendar and alarm, and event link controller (ELC) enabling peripheral-triggered operation without CPU intervention.
Its power management includes HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE modes, achieving 112.5 μA/MHz active current and 0.68 μA in RTC2+LVD standby. The LCD controller supports internal voltage boosting, capacitor split, and external resistor division methods, with configurable segment/common drive capability up to 44×4.

FAQ
What is the maximum LCD segment count supported by R5F111NEALA#U0?
R5F111NEALA#U0 supports up to 44 segment outputs and 4 common outputs, configured across dedicated pins (e.g., SEG0–SEG6, SEG12–SEG25, SEG27–SEG42, SEG48–SEG55 and COM0–COM3). This enables driving standard 4-mux character or graphic LCDs without external segment drivers.
Does R5F111NEALA#U0 include USB functionality?
No, R5F111NEALA#U0 is part of the "products without USB" family per Renesas documentation. Its pinout omits UDM, UDP, UREGC, and UVBUS signals, and the block diagram excludes the USB voltage regulator and controller blocks present in RL78/L1C USB variants like R5F110NEALA#U0.
What are the key power-saving modes available on R5F111NEALA#U0?
R5F111NEALA#U0 supports HALT, STOP, and SNOOZE modes. In STOP mode with RTC2 and LVD active, it draws just 0.68 μA; active-mode current is 112.5 μA/MHz. These modes are controlled via software registers and support fast wake-up from multiple sources including key interrupts and timer events.
Can R5F111NEALA#U0 perform background data flash writes during program execution?
Yes, R5F111NEALA#U0 supports Background Operation (BGO) for data flash. While executing code from program memory, it can rewrite the 8 KB data flash - essential for logging sensor data or updating calibration parameters without halting application logic.
What analog reference options are available for the 12-bit A/D converter in R5F111NEALA#U0?
The 12-bit A/D converter in R5F111NEALA#U0 uses an internal reference voltage of 1.45 V (TYP.) when VDD is 2.4–3.6 V. ANI0 and ANI1 serve as AVREFP and AVREFM pins, allowing external reference connection if higher precision or ratiometric measurement is required.
