Product details
Overview
R5F11W68ASM#50 from Renesas Electronics is an ultra-low-power 16-bit RL78/G1M microcontroller in a 20-pin TSSOP package, featuring 8 KB flash memory, 1 KB RAM, 8-channel 8/10-bit A/D converter, and integrated UART/CSI serial interfaces - deployed in battery-powered consumer sensor nodes requiring deterministic real-time response and sub-1 µA STOP-mode operation.
For engineers reviewing the R5F11W68ASM#50 datasheet, R5F11W68ASM#50 pinout, R5F11W68ASM#50 application, or R5F11W68ASM#50 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20 MHz high-speed on-chip oscillator (±2.0% accuracy), 18 I/O pins with N-ch open-drain support, real-time output capability (8 channels), and SPOR reset voltage options (2.25 V / 2.68 V / 3.02 V / 4.45 V).
Technical Context
The R5F11W68ASM#50 implements the RL78-S1 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, supporting instruction execution times from 0.05 µs (20 MHz) to 1.0 µs (1 MHz). It integrates a selectable power-on-reset (SPOR) circuit, 12-bit interval timer, watchdog timer, and BCD correction logic - all operating across –40°C to +85°C ambient range.
Its peripheral set includes four 16-bit timer channels (TAU), one UART channel (RxD0/TxD0), one CSI channel (SI00/SO00/SCK00), programmable clock/buzzer output (PCLBUZ0), and key interrupt support (KR0–KR7) - all mapped to dedicated pins in the 20-pin TSSOP footprint with configurable I/O redirection via PIOR register.
