Product details
Overview
R5F11W68DSM#50 from Renesas Electronics is an 8 KB flash, 1 KB RAM RL78/G1M 20-pin TSSOP microcontroller with ultra-low power consumption (0.61 µA in STOP mode), 20 MHz high-speed on-chip oscillator (±2.0% accuracy), and integrated 8-channel 8/10-bit A/D converter - deployed in industrial sensor nodes requiring reliable operation from −40°C to +85°C.
For engineers reviewing the R5F11W68DSM#50 datasheet, R5F11W68DSM#50 pinout, R5F11W68DSM#50 application, or R5F11W68DSM#50 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-time output capability, UART/CSI serial interfaces, and confirmed industrial-grade temperature and voltage specifications (VDD = 2.25–5.5 V).
Technical Context
The R5F11W68DSM#50 implements the RL78-S1 CPU core with a 3-stage pipeline, supporting instruction execution times from 0.05 µs (20 MHz) to 1.0 µs (1 MHz), and features selectable power-on-reset (SPOR) with four detection thresholds (2.25 V to 4.45 V). It integrates a 12-bit interval timer, watchdog timer, and BCD correction circuit for embedded control tasks.
Its peripheral set includes four 16-bit timer channels (with 4 PWM outputs), one UART channel, one CSI channel, and real-time output (RTIO) functionality across eight pins - all accessible via 18 I/O lines (14 N-ch open-drain, 6 P-ch open-drain) in a 20-pin TSSOP package with 0.65 mm pitch.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F11W67DSM#50 | 4 KB flash, 512 B RAM - 50% less program/data memory than R5F11W68DSM#50. | Suitable for simpler firmware with no OTA update or complex state machines. | Select when application fits within 4 KB flash and requires lower cost; verify RTIO and UART usage remains within reduced RAM headroom. |
| R5F11Y68DSM#50 | RL78/G1N variant: adds high-current P-ch open-drain outputs (−120 mA per COM pin) but removes RTIO functionality. | Targeted at segment LCD driving; lacks real-time output channels needed for precision timing. | Choose only for LCD-based HMI designs; avoid for applications requiring RTIO, such as synchronized actuator control or LED strobing. |
Compared with R5F11W67DSM#50, the R5F11W68DSM#50 provides double flash/RAM for feature-rich firmware, while R5F11Y68DSM#50 trades RTIO for LCD driver capability - making R5F11W68DSM#50 the sole choice for industrial timing-critical embedded control.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F11W68DSM#50?
The R5F11W68DSM#50 supports a maximum main system clock frequency of 20 MHz using its high-speed on-chip oscillator. This yields a minimum instruction execution time of 0.05 µs under 2.7–5.5 V operation. The oscillator is factory-trimmed to ±2.0% accuracy across −20°C to +85°C, eliminating need for external crystal in many industrial applications.
Does the R5F11W68DSM#50 support real-time output functionality?
Yes, the R5F11W68DSM#50 includes eight dedicated real-time output (RTIO0–RTIO7) pins. These are hardware-controlled outputs with deterministic timing and sub-microsecond jitter, distinct from software-toggled GPIO. They are used for precise waveform generation, synchronized actuation, or LED strobing in industrial timing applications.
What is the supply current of the R5F11W68DSM#50 in STOP mode?
The R5F11W68DSM#50 draws 0.61 µA in STOP mode at VDD = 3.0 V and TA = 25°C. This ultra-low quiescent current enables multi-year battery operation in intermittently active sensor nodes. The value increases slightly at higher temperatures but remains below 2.35 µA across the full −40°C to +85°C range.
How many analog input channels does the R5F11W68DSM#50 have?
The R5F11W68DSM#50 integrates an 8/10-bit resolution A/D converter with eight analog input channels (ANI0–ANI7). These share physical pins with port functions (e.g., P07/ANI0) and operate across VDD = 2.4–5.5 V. Conversion is supported in HALT and STOP modes, enabling low-power sensor sampling.
What package type and pin count does the R5F11W68DSM#50 use?
The R5F11W68DSM#50 uses a 20-pin plastic TSSOP package (4.4 × 6.5 mm, 0.65 mm pitch), designated by the "SM" suffix. It is rated for industrial temperature (−40°C to +85°C) and supplied in embossed tape format ("#50"). Pin functions include 18 I/O lines, VDD, VSS, RESET, and TOOL0.
