Product details
Overview
R5F11Y68ASM#50 from Renesas Electronics is an RL78/G1N-series 16-bit microcontroller in 20-pin TSSOP package, featuring 8 KB flash memory, 1 KB RAM, ultra-low-power operation (0.61 µA in STOP mode), 8-channel 8/10-bit ADC, and integrated UART/CSI serial interfaces - deployed in battery-powered sensor nodes and industrial control panels requiring compact footprint and extended runtime.
For engineers reviewing the R5F11Y68ASM#50 datasheet, R5F11Y68ASM#50 pinout, R5F11Y68ASM#50 application, or R5F11Y68ASM#50 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin TSSOP-0.65mm package, VDD = 2.0–5.5 V supply range, −40 to +85°C operating temperature, 8 KB flash capacity, and RL78/G1N-specific high-current P-ch open-drain I/O capability on P00–P05 pins.
Technical Context
The R5F11Y68ASM#50 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, supporting minimum instruction execution time of 0.05 µs at 20 MHz. It integrates a selectable power-on-reset (SPOR) circuit with four detection voltage options (2.25 V to 4.45 V) and dual on-chip oscillators: high-speed (1.25–20 MHz, ±2% accuracy) and low-speed (15 kHz ±15%).
Its peripheral set includes four 16-bit timer channels, one 12-bit interval timer, one watchdog timer, programmable clock/buzzer output (PCLBUZ0), and key interrupt support across eight KR pins. Unlike RL78/G1M, it omits real-time output (RTIO) functionality but enables higher drive strength on P00–P05 pins in P-ch open-drain mode.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F11Y67ASM#50 | 4 KB flash, 512 B RAM - half the program storage and RAM capacity | Suitable for simpler firmware with minimal ISR overhead and no floating-point math | Select when firmware size < 3.5 KB and no future feature expansion is planned |
| R5F11W68ASM#50 | RL78/G1M variant: adds 8-channel RTIO but removes P-ch open-drain capability on P00–P05 | Better suited for timing-critical PWM generation (e.g., motor control) than high-current output driving | Choose only if real-time output synchronization is required and high-current sourcing is handled externally |
Compared with R5F11Y67ASM#50, the R5F11Y68ASM#50 provides double flash/RAM for complex protocols and data logging; versus R5F11W68ASM#50, it trades RTIO precision for higher drive strength - making it optimal for display and actuator control where timing jitter is less critical than output capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the R5F11Y68ASM#50?
The R5F11Y68ASM#50 supports a maximum high-speed on-chip oscillator frequency of 20 MHz, with ±2% accuracy over −20°C to +85°C. This enables a minimum instruction execution time of 0.05 µs. External crystal or ceramic resonator configurations are not supported - all timing derives from the integrated oscillator.
Does the R5F11Y68ASM#50 support real-time output (RTIO) functionality?
No, the R5F11Y68ASM#50 does not support real-time output (RTIO). RTIO is exclusive to the RL78/G1M series (e.g., R5F11W68ASM#50). The R5F11Y68ASM#50 belongs to the RL78/G1N family, which replaces RTIO with enhanced P-ch open-drain drive capability on P00–P05 pins for direct actuator control.
What are the key differences between R5F11Y68ASM#50 and R5F11W68ASM#50?
The R5F11Y68ASM#50 (G1N) offers P-ch open-drain outputs on P00–P05 with −120 mA sourcing capability, while the R5F11W68ASM#50 (G1M) provides 8-channel RTIO but lacks high-current sourcing. Both share identical flash (8 KB), RAM (1 KB), and peripheral count - differentiation lies in I/O drive strength versus timing precision.
Can the R5F11Y68ASM#50 operate from a 2.0 V supply?
Yes, the R5F11Y68ASM#50 is rated for VDD = 2.0 to 5.5 V, but operation below 2.25 V is not recommended due to SPOR circuit behavior. At VDD = 2.0–2.24 V, the selectable power-on-reset may not activate reliably; design margins require use within 2.25–5.5 V for guaranteed reset functionality.
Is on-chip debug supported on the R5F11Y68ASM#50, and what pins are required?
Yes, the R5F11Y68ASM#50 includes full on-chip debug functionality accessible via the TOOL0 pin (Pin 1). No additional debug header or SWD/JTAG adapter is needed - standard Renesas E2 emulator or compatible tools connect directly through TOOL0 for programming and real-time debugging during development.
