Overview
R5F1177AGNA#20 from Renesas is an RL78/I1D 24-pin HWQFN ultra-low-power 16-bit MCU with 8 KB flash, 2 KB data flash, 0.7 KB RAM, 16-bit timer (4 ch), 8/12-bit ADC (6 ch), 2 op-amps, and dual serial interfaces (2× CSI, 1× UART, 2× simplified I²C) for industrial sensor nodes and battery-powered control systems.
For engineers reviewing the R5F1177AGNA#20 datasheet, R5F1177AGNA#20 pinout, R5F1177AGNA#20 application, or R5F1177AGNA#20 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated 24-pin HWQFN package mapping, confirmed low-power operating modes (HALT/STOP/SNOOZE), and real-world timing/peripheral compatibility for rapid schematic integration and firmware bring-up.
Technical Context
The R5F1177AGNA#20 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture, 3-stage pipeline, and selectable instruction execution time (0.04167 μs @ 24 MHz to 66.6 μs @ 15 kHz). It integrates a high-speed on-chip oscillator (±1.0% accuracy at 1.8–3.6 V, -20 to +85°C) and supports main clock sources including X1 crystal (1–20 MHz) and subsystem XT1 (32.768 kHz).
Its peripheral set includes a Data Transfer Controller (DTC) with 20 activation sources, Event Link Controller (ELC) supporting 17 event inputs and 5 trigger outputs, and dual simplified SPI (CSI) channels with hardware flow control - enabling deterministic sensor data acquisition and low-latency inter-IC communication without CPU intervention.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and instruction execution time for the R5F1177AGNA#20?
The R5F1177AGNA#20 supports a maximum high-speed on-chip oscillator frequency of 24 MHz, yielding a minimum instruction execution time of 0.04167 μs. When using the high-speed system clock (X1), it operates up to 20 MHz with 0.05 μs minimum execution time. The RL78 CPU core's 3-stage pipeline enables deterministic timing across all supported clock sources, including low-speed (15 kHz) and middle-speed (4 MHz) on-chip oscillators.
Does the R5F1177AGNA#20 support background data flash rewriting while executing code from program memory?
Yes, the R5F1177AGNA#20 supports background operation (BGO) for data flash memory. This allows the CPU to execute instructions from code flash memory while simultaneously rewriting data flash-enabling seamless firmware parameter updates or logging without interrupting real-time tasks. The data flash has a rated endurance of 1,000,000 write/erase cycles (TYP.) at VDD = 1.8–3.6 V.

The R5F1177AGNA#20 includes 6 analog input channels (ANI0–ANI5) for its 8/12-bit A/D converter and integrates 2 operational amplifiers (AMP0 and AMP1). Each op-amp supports configurable gain and can be used for signal conditioning prior to ADC conversion. The device also includes 2 comparators (IVCMP0 and IVCMP1) with window mode capability.
What serial communication interfaces are available on the R5F1177AGNA#20?
The R5F1177AGNA#20 provides two simplified SPI (CSI) channels, one UART channel, and two simplified I²C channels. CSI00 and CSI01 operate independently, supporting full-duplex synchronous communication. UART0 handles asynchronous serial communication, while I²C00 and I²C01 support standard and fast-mode I²C protocols up to 400 kHz-ideal for connecting sensors, EEPROMs, and displays.
Is the R5F1177AGNA#20 qualified for industrial temperature operation?
Yes, the R5F1177AGNA#20 is fully qualified for industrial temperature operation across TA = -40 to +105°C. Its ordering code suffix "G" explicitly denotes industrial-grade qualification. All electrical specifications-including flash programming, ADC accuracy, oscillator stability, and I/O drive strength-are guaranteed over this extended range, making it suitable for harsh environments like factory automation and outdoor metering.
