Overview
R5F12008MSN#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 to 5.5 V. It integrates a high-speed on-chip oscillator (1–16 MHz), 8-channel 16-bit timer, 3-channel A/D converter (8/10-bit), 1 comparator, UART, simplified I²C, and simplified SPI - designed for compact industrial sensor nodes and low-power control modules.
For engineers reviewing the R5F12008MSN#50 datasheet, R5F12008MSN#50 pinout, R5F12008MSN#50 application, or R5F12008MSN#50 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package mapping to WDFN-8, validated 8-pin multiplexed functions, thermal rating up to +125°C (M-grade), and direct alternative part comparisons - all grounded in Renesas R01DS0420EJ0130 Rev.1.30.
Technical Context
The R5F12008MSN#50 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture, 3-stage pipeline, and 1 MB address space. It supports HALT and STOP low-power modes, selectable power-on-reset (SPOR) with four voltage thresholds, and on-chip debug via TOOLRxD/TOOLTxD pins.
Its peripheral set includes one UART channel, two simplified I²C channels (one fixed, one configurable), one simplified SPI (CSI) channel, and timer array unit (TAU0) with eight 16-bit channels - all accessible through port pins P00–P04, P125, P137, and P40 in its 8-pin WDFN package.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and accuracy of the on-chip oscillator in R5F12008MSN#50?
The R5F12008MSN#50 features a high-speed on-chip oscillator selectable from 1 MHz to 16 MHz. At −20°C to +85°C, its frequency accuracy is ±1.0% (M-grade specification). Accuracy degrades to ±1.5% at −40°C to −20°C and +85°C to +125°C. The oscillator requires no external components and is factory-trimmed.
Does R5F12008MSN#50 support in-system programming and how many data flash rewrites are guaranteed?
Yes, R5F12008MSN#50 supports self-programming of both code and data flash memory without boot swap. Its 1 KB data flash is rated for 1,000,000 rewrite cycles at VDD = 2.4–5.5 V, with 32-bit granularity and background operation disabled - meaning code execution halts during data flash writes.
What are the analog input capabilities of R5F12008MSN#50 and what reference voltages are available?
R5F12008MSN#50 provides three analog input channels (ANI0–ANI3, though ANI3 serves dual role as IVREF0). It supports 8-bit or 10-bit A/D conversion with an internal reference voltage of 0.815 V (typical). External reference voltage can also be applied via IVREF0 pin for improved precision in varying supply conditions.
How does the R5F12008MSN#50 manage low-power operation and what are the key current specs?
R5F12008MSN#50 offers HALT and STOP low-power modes. In STOP mode, supply current is as low as 0.62 µA (typical) at 3.0 V. HALT mode draws 371–800 µA depending on oscillator source and frequency. These modes retain RAM content and allow wake-up via interrupts or reset - critical for battery-operated systems.
Is R5F12008MSN#50 pin-compatible with other RL78/G15 variants in the same package?
Yes, R5F12008MSN#50 shares identical pinout and WDFN-8 package with R5F12007MSN#50 (4 KB flash) and R5F12008ANS#10 (A-grade). All 8-pin WDFN variants use the same multiplexed function mapping per Table 1-2 of R01DS0420EJ0130, enabling hardware reuse across flash-size and grade variants.
