Product details
Overview
R5F12068ASP#30 from Renesas Electronics is an 8 KB flash, 1 KB RAM RL78/G15 20-pin LSSOP microcontroller operating at 2.4–5.5 V with 11-channel 8/10-bit ADC, dual comparators, and integrated UART, CSI (SPI), and I²C interfaces - deployed in industrial sensor nodes and low-power metering systems.
For engineers reviewing the R5F12068ASP#30 datasheet, R5F12068ASP#30 pinout, R5F12068ASP#30 application, or R5F12068ASP#30 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated 20-pin LSSOP package mapping, functional pin roles per multiplexed configuration, and direct alternative part comparisons for embedded control design-in.
Technical Context
The R5F12068ASP#30 implements the RL78 CPU core with a 3-stage CISC pipeline, supporting minimum instruction execution times from 0.0625 μs (16 MHz) to 1.0 μs (1 MHz). It integrates a high-speed on-chip oscillator (1–16 MHz, ±1.0% accuracy at −20°C to +85°C) and a dedicated 15 kHz low-speed oscillator for watchdog operation.
Its peripheral set includes eight 16-bit timer channels (TAU0), one 12-bit interval timer, one watchdog timer, two independent comparators (IVCMP0/IVCMP1 with selectable internal/external reference), and a BCD correction circuit - all coordinated via a centralized interrupt controller supporting 19 vectored sources (8 external, 11 internal).

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and accuracy of the on-chip oscillator in R5F12068ASP#30?
The R5F12068ASP#30 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% over VDD = 2.4–5.5 V. Accuracy degrades to ±1.5% at −40°C to −20°C and ±1.5% at +85°C to +125°C, consistent with its M-grade industrial qualification.
How many analog input channels does R5F12068ASP#30 support, and what ADC resolution options are available?
The R5F12068ASP#30 supports 11 analog input channels (ANI0–ANI10) with an 8/10-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC. Resolution is software-selectable per conversion, and the internal reference voltage is fixed at 0.815 V (TYP.), enabling precise ratiometric measurements without external references.
Does R5F12068ASP#30 include hardware support for BCD arithmetic, and how is it used?
Yes, the R5F12068ASP#30 integrates a dedicated on-chip BCD correction circuit. This hardware accelerator automatically adjusts binary results after addition/subtraction to maintain valid BCD format - eliminating software loops and reducing CPU load in digital display, metering, and counter applications.
What are the key differences between R5F12068ASP#30 and R5F12067ASP#30?
R5F12068ASP#30 and R5F12067ASP#30 share identical pinout, peripherals, package (20-pin LSSOP), and temperature grade (M: −40°C to +125°C), differing only in code flash capacity: 8 KB vs. 4 KB. Both use the same 1 KB data flash and 1 KB RAM, making R5F12067ASP#30 a drop-in replacement where firmware size permits.
Can R5F12068ASP#30 operate with an external crystal oscillator, and what frequency range is supported?
Yes, the R5F12068ASP#30 supports external crystal or ceramic resonator operation via X1/X2 pins. The specified frequency range is 1 MHz to 12 MHz at VDD = 2.4–5.5 V. Oscillation stabilization must be verified using the OSTC/OSTS registers before switching from the on-chip oscillator to ensure deterministic startup timing.
