Product details
Overview
R5F12008ANS#50 from Renesas Electronics is an 8-pin RL78/G15 16-bit microcontroller with 8 KB code flash, 1 KB RAM, and 1 KB data flash, operating from 2.4 V to 5.5 V. It integrates a 16 MHz high-speed on-chip oscillator (±1.0% accuracy at −20 to +85°C), 3-channel 8/10-bit A/D converter, 1 comparator, UART, simplified I²C, and CSI interfaces - deployed in battery-powered industrial sensors and low-power metering systems.
For engineers reviewing the R5F12008ANS#50 datasheet, R5F12008ANS#50 pinout, R5F12008ANS#50 application, or R5F12008ANS#50 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8-pin LSSOP/SSOP/WDFN package compatibility, 8 KB flash capacity, −40°C to +85°C consumer-grade temperature range, and integrated debug interface supporting tool-based firmware development without external JTAG hardware.
Technical Context
The R5F12008ANS#50 implements the RL78-S2 CPU core with a 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, delivering minimum instruction execution time of 0.0625 μs at 16 MHz. Its memory subsystem includes 8 KB code flash (1 KB block size), 1 KB data flash (512 B blocks, 1M rewrite cycles), and 1 KB SRAM - all accessible under single-supply operation.
Peripherals are tightly coupled to the TAU0 timer array (8 channels), SAU0 serial array (2 channels), and dedicated interrupt controller supporting 6 external sources (INTP0–INTP5). Clock generation combines selectable high-speed on-chip oscillator (1–16 MHz), low-speed 15 kHz oscillator, and optional external crystal (X1/X2) or EXCLK input.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and oscillator accuracy of the R5F12008ANS#50?
The R5F12008ANS#50 supports a maximum high-speed on-chip oscillator frequency of 16 MHz with ±1.0% accuracy across TA = −20°C to +85°C. It also provides selectable frequencies of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 MHz. External crystal (X1/X2) or EXCLK input up to 12 MHz is supported for higher precision timing requirements in the R5F12008ANS#50 design.
Does the R5F12008ANS#50 support in-circuit debugging without external hardware?
Yes, the R5F12008ANS#50 includes an on-chip debug system (OCDS) accessible via TOOL0, TOOLRxD, and TOOLTxD pins - enabling full firmware download, breakpoint setting, and register inspection without external JTAG/SWD adapters. This capability is fully functional in the R5F12008ANS#50 during development but should be disabled in mass-production firmware per Renesas guidelines.
How many analog input channels does the R5F12008ANS#50 provide, and what is their resolution?
The R5F12008ANS#50 integrates a single 8/10-bit successive-approximation A/D converter with 3 analog input channels: ANI0, ANI2, and ANI3. Resolution is selectable per conversion, and the internal 0.815 V reference ensures consistent scaling across temperature - a confirmed specification for the R5F12008ANS#50 per its RL78/G15 datasheet Rev.1.40.
What package type and pin count does the R5F12008ANS#50 use?
The R5F12008ANS#50 uses an 8-pin WDFN package (3 × 3 mm, 0.65-mm pitch), designated by the "NS" suffix in the part number. It is also available in 8-pin SOP (SN) and shares pin-compatible functionality with other 8-pin RL78/G15 variants - all verified for the R5F12008ANS#50 in Renesas' official ordering documentation.
Can the R5F12008ANS#50 operate across extended temperature ranges?
No - the R5F12008ANS#50 is rated for TA = −40°C to +85°C (Consumer-grade "A" variant). Industrial variants (G/M) exist in the RL78/G15 family (e.g., R5F12008GNS), but the R5F12008ANS#50 specifically conforms to the A-grade specification and is not qualified for operation beyond +85°C.
