Product details
Overview
R5F111NJALA#U0 from Renesas is an RL78/L1C 85-pin VFLGA microcontroller without USB, featuring 256 KB Flash, 16 KB RAM, integrated LCD controller/driver (44/56 segment × 4/8 common), 12-bit A/D converter (13-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-based consumer instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the R5F111NJALA#U0 datasheet, R5F111NJALA#U0 pinout, R5F111NJALA#U0 application, or R5F111NJALA#U0 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated 85-pin VFLGA terminal mapping, real-world LCD timing and power management use cases, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and packaging differences.
Technical Context
The R5F111NJALA#U0 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture, 3-stage pipeline, and selectable instruction execution time (0.04167 μs @ 24 MHz to 30.5 μs @ 32.768 kHz). It integrates a dedicated LCD controller supporting internal voltage boosting, capacitor split, and external resistor division methods, with programmable segment/common drive capability up to 56×8.
Its peripheral set includes 11×16-bit timers, real-time clock 2 (99-year calendar, alarm, correction), 2×8-bit D/A converters, 2×comparators, 5×I²C/Simplified I²C channels, 4×UART/LIN, and 4×CSI/SPI interfaces - all managed via Event Link Controller (ELC) and Data Transfer Controller (DTC) for autonomous low-CPU-load operation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F111NJAFB#30 | Same core, memory, and peripherals but in 80-pin LFQFP (12×12 mm, 0.5 mm pitch); includes USB function disabled in firmware | Requires PCB redesign due to larger footprint and different thermal pad layout; supports same LCD and sensor functions | Select when existing 80-pin layout exists or when USB-capable variant may be needed later via firmware enable |
| R5F111PJALA#U0 | Identical 85-pin VFLGA package and pinout, but with 100-pin-equivalent peripheral set: adds P80–P83, ANI4–ANI6, and second comparator (IVCMP1/VCOUT1) | Enables higher-channel sensor aggregation (e.g., multi-zone HVAC) without changing board layout or connector | Choose when future expansion to 6 ADC channels or dual-comparator fault detection is required |
Compared with R5F111NJALA#U0, R5F111NJAFB#30 trades compact VFLGA packaging for easier hand-soldering and legacy footprint compatibility, while R5F111PJALA#U0 retains identical board space but delivers extended analog and I/O resources - both require no firmware porting due to RL78/L1C family register compatibility.

FAQ
Does R5F111NJALA#U0 support USB functionality?
No, R5F111NJALA#U0 is explicitly a non-USB variant of the RL78/L1C family. Its USB-related pins (UDM, UDP, UREGC, UVBUS) are reserved and must remain unconnected. The "111" in the part number denotes USB-off configuration, unlike "110" variants which include functional USB 2.0 controller hardware.
What LCD segment and common configurations does R5F111NJALA#U0 support?
R5F111NJALA#U0 supports 44–56 segment outputs and 4–8 common outputs, depending on selected drive method (internal boost, capacitor split, or external resistor division). The exact count is determined by register settings - e.g., 56 segments × 4 commons or 44 segments × 8 commons - with all combinations validated in the RL78/L1C User's Manual.
Can R5F111NJALA#U0 operate from a 1.6 V supply?
Yes, R5F111NJALA#U0 guarantees full functionality across 1.6 V to 3.6 V VDD, including Flash programming, ADC conversion, and LCD driving. At 1.6 V, maximum operating frequency is reduced to 8 MHz per datasheet limits, preserving timing margins for low-voltage battery operation.
How many analog input channels are accessible on R5F111NJALA#U0?
R5F111NJALA#U0 provides 13 analog input channels: ANI0–ANI2, ANI16–ANI21 (10 total), plus AVREFP, AVREFM, and IVREF0 - all usable simultaneously with the 12-bit A/D converter when VDD ≥ 2.4 V. Channel selection is software-configurable via the ADCSR register.
Is the R5F111NJALA#U0 pinout compatible with other RL78/L1C 85-pin variants?
Yes, all RL78/L1C 85-pin VFLGA variants - including R5F111NJALA#U0, R5F111NEALA#U0, and R5F111PJALA#U0 - share identical mechanical pinout and electrical signaling per pin position. Functional differences (e.g., added ANI4–ANI6 in PJ variant) appear only on otherwise unused pins in the NJ variant, ensuring drop-in replacement within the same package group.
