Overview
R5F12048ASP#50 from Renesas Electronics is an 16-pin, 8 KB flash, 1 KB RAM RL78/G15 16-bit microcontroller with integrated 8/10-bit ADC (7 channels), dual simplified I²C and SPI interfaces, UART, 8-channel 16-bit timer array, and high-speed on-chip oscillator (1–16 MHz). It operates from 2.4 V to 5.5 V and supports industrial temperature range (−40°C to +105°C), targeting embedded control in HVAC sensors, motor-driven appliances, and industrial I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the R5F12048ASP#50 datasheet, R5F12048ASP#50 pinout, R5F12048ASP#50 application, or R5F12048ASP#50 equivalent, key selection considerations include its SSOP-16 package, 7-channel analog input capability, programmable clock/buzzer output (PCLBUZ0), selectable power-on-reset voltage levels, and support for background data flash writes only during HALT mode-not BGO.
Technical Context
The R5F12048ASP#50 implements the RL78-S2 CPU core with a 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, 1 MB address space, and minimum instruction execution time of 0.0625 μs at 16 MHz. Its memory subsystem includes 8 KB code flash (1 KB block erase), 1 KB data flash (512 B blocks, 1M rewrite cycles), and 1 KB SRAM.
Peripherals are organized around a unified interrupt controller supporting 16 internal and 8 external vectored sources, dual serial array units (SAU0) enabling simultaneous CSI00/CSI01 and IIC00/IIC01 operation, and TAU0 timer array with flexible PWM output mapping across up to 6 pins including TI00–TI07 and TO00–TO07.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F12047ASP#50 | 4 KB code flash, same 16-pin SSOP package, identical peripherals and pinout | Lower memory footprint suitable for simpler firmware (e.g., basic sensor polling without local storage) | Select when application firmware fits within 4 KB and no future code expansion is anticipated |
| R5F12048GSP#50 | Identical electrical and functional specification; differs only in marking (G-grade vs. A-grade temperature screening) | G-grade rated for −40°C to +105°C; A-grade (R5F12048ASP#50) rated for −40°C to +85°C | Choose R5F12048ASP#50 for consumer-grade cost targets where ambient temperature remains ≤85°C |
Compared with R5F12048GSP#50, the R5F12048ASP#50 offers identical functionality at lower qualification cost but excludes extended temperature validation; versus R5F12047ASP#50, it doubles code flash capacity while maintaining full pin and peripheral compatibility-enabling seamless firmware scalability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and instruction execution time of the R5F12048ASP#50?
The R5F12048ASP#50 supports a maximum high-speed on-chip oscillator frequency of 16 MHz, achieving a minimum instruction execution time of 0.0625 μs under those conditions. This timing assumes the RL78-S2 core is configured for high-speed operation with the high-speed oscillator selected and stabilized. The actual execution time may vary if using external clocks or lower oscillator settings.
Does the R5F12048ASP#50 support background data flash rewriting while executing code from main flash?
No, the R5F12048ASP#50 does not support background operation (BGO) for data flash rewriting. During data flash write/erase operations, the CPU cannot execute instructions from code flash memory. Code execution must be halted or relocated to RAM or peripheral registers to safely perform data flash updates.
How many analog input channels does the R5F12048ASP#50 provide, and what is the reference voltage option?
The R5F12048ASP#50 provides 7 analog input channels (ANI0–ANI6) with 8/10-bit resolution. It supports both external reference voltage and internal reference voltage (0.815 V typical) for the ADC, selectable per channel via control registers. Internal reference enables ratiometric measurements without external components.
What packaging and lead finish does the R5F12048ASP#50 use?
The R5F12048ASP#50 is supplied in a 16-pin plastic SSOP package (4.4 × 5.0 mm, 0.65-mm pitch) with lead-free, RoHS-compliant finish. The #50 suffix indicates embossed tape packaging, suitable for automated SMT assembly.
Can the R5F12048ASP#50 operate reliably at 125°C ambient temperature?
No - the R5F12048ASP#50 is rated for A-grade (consumer) operation from −40°C to +85°C. For 125°C operation, Renesas specifies the M-grade variant R5F12048MSP#50. Using R5F12048ASP#50 beyond +85°C ambient violates its qualified temperature range and may result in parametric drift or functional failure.
