Product details
Overview
R5F1211AASP#70 from Renesas Electronics is a 10-pin, low-power RL78/G16 microcontroller with 16 KB flash memory, 2 KB RAM, and integrated capacitive touch sensing (15-channel CTSU). It operates from 2.4–5.5 V, supports HALT/STOP modes, and delivers ultra-low-speed operation at 32.768 kHz for battery-powered consumer devices such as remote controls and smart home sensors.
For engineers reviewing the R5F1211AASP#70 datasheet, R5F1211AASP#70 pinout, R5F1211AASP#70 application, or R5F1211AASP#70 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world use cases, validated alternatives, and supply-chain-ready availability details - all grounded in Renesas' official R01DS0431EJ0130 Rev.1.30 documentation.
Technical Context
The R5F1211AASP#70 implements the RL78 CPU core with a 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, enabling instruction execution times adjustable from 0.0625 μs (16 MHz high-speed on-chip oscillator) to 30.5 μs (32.768 kHz subsystem clock). Its memory map spans 1 MB address space with banked 8-bit general-purpose registers.
It integrates a 10-bit A/D converter (4-channel analog input), 1-channel watchdog timer, 99-year real-time clock with alarm and correction, and simplified SPI/I²C/UART interfaces - all optimized for deterministic timing and low-voltage operation in consumer-grade ambient conditions (−40°C to +85°C).

Pinout & Package
10-pin plastic LSSOP (4.4 × 3.6 mm, 0.65-mm pitch), exposed pad not present - compatible with standard surface-mount reflow profiles and automated optical inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F1211CASP#70 | Same package and pinout; 32 KB flash (vs. 16 KB), identical peripherals and timing specs | Required when firmware size exceeds 16 KB or future-proofing for feature expansion is needed | Select if bootloader, crypto stack, or GUI assets demand >16 KB code space - no PCB change required |
| RL78/G14 R5F112GADSP#30 | 10-pin SSOP, 16 KB flash, but lacks CTSU and has only 8-bit ADC (no internal reference) | Suitable for non-touch applications where cost is prioritized over HMI capability | Choose only when touch interface is unnecessary and existing designs already use G14 toolchain - requires firmware adaptation |
Compared with R5F1211CASP#70, the R5F1211AASP#70 trades flash capacity for lower unit cost and smaller footprint; compared with RL78/G14 R5F112GADSP#30, it adds capacitive touch and higher-resolution ADC at marginally higher price - making it optimal for touch-centric consumer products.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F1211AASP#70?
The R5F1211AASP#70 supports up to 16 MHz operation using its high-speed on-chip oscillator, delivering a minimum instruction execution time of 0.0625 μs. This frequency is factory-trimmed and maintains ±1.0% accuracy across −20°C to +85°C at VDD = 2.4–5.5 V - eliminating need for external crystal in most consumer applications.
Does the R5F1211AASP#70 support in-system programming?
Yes, the R5F1211AASP#70 supports self-programming of its 16 KB code flash memory via on-chip debug interface (TOOL0/TOOLRxD/TOOLTxD pins) or through user firmware using UART or simplified SPI. No external programmer is required, and flash writes occur after full-block erase - consistent with Renesas' documented flash shield window behavior.
How many capacitive touch channels does the R5F1211AASP#70 provide?
The R5F1211AASP#70 integrates a 15-channel Capacitive Touch Sensing Unit (CTSU) supporting both self-capacitance (15 independent keys) and mutual-capacitance (matrix configuration up to 16 keys). All channels share the same 10-pin LSSOP footprint - no additional pins or external components are needed for basic touch implementation.
What are the power supply requirements for the R5F1211AASP#70?
The R5F1211AASP#70 operates from a single 2.4–5.5 V supply on the VDD pin, with VSS as the return path. It draws 61 μA/MHz in active mode at 125°C and as low as 0.55 μA in STOP mode - enabling direct operation from two alkaline AA/AAA cells (3.0 V nominal) or single Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) without voltage regulation in many use cases.
Is the R5F1211AASP#70 pin-compatible with other RL78/G16 variants?
Yes, the R5F1211AASP#70 shares identical 10-pin LSSOP pinout and electrical characteristics with all other SP-package RL78/G16 10-pin variants (e.g., R5F1211CASP#70, R5F1211AGSP#70), differing only in flash size (16 KB vs. 32 KB) and temperature grade (A-grade: −40°C to +85°C). This allows drop-in replacement within the same package family.
