Product details
Overview
R5F1211AMSP#50 from Renesas Electronics is a 10-pin, 16 KB flash RL78/G16 8-bit microcontroller with industrial-grade temperature range (−40°C to +125°C), 2 KB RAM, 1 KB data flash, and integrated capacitive touch sensing unit (15-channel CTSU). It features a low-power RL78 CPU core (0.0625 μs min instruction time @16 MHz), 8×16-bit timers, 10-bit A/D converter (4-channel), and serial interfaces including UART, simplified SPI (CSI), and simplified I²C - deployed in battery-powered industrial control panels requiring reliable HMI and real-time sensor interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the R5F1211AMSP#50 datasheet, R5F1211AMSP#50 pinout, R5F1211AMSP#50 application, or R5F1211AMSP#50 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10-pin LSSOP package, M-grade thermal rating, 16 KB code flash with self-programming, on-chip RTC with calendar function, and dedicated touch-sensing I/O pins supporting self-capacitance up to 15 keys without external components.
Technical Context
The R5F1211AMSP#50 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture and 3-stage pipeline, enabling configurable instruction timing from 0.0625 μs (16 MHz high-speed oscillator) to 30.5 μs (32.768 kHz subsystem clock). Its memory subsystem includes 16 KB code flash (1 KB erase blocks), 1 KB data flash (512 B blocks, 1M rewrite cycles), and 2 KB SRAM - all operating across VDD = 2.4–5.5 V.
Peripheral integration centers on low-power operation: HALT/STOP modes, on-chip SPOR reset, 10-bit A/D with internal reference (0.815 V) and temperature sensor, dual comparator channels, and a dedicated 15-channel capacitive touch sensing unit (CTSU) supporting both self- and mutual-capacitance configurations - all accessible via its 10-pin LSSOP footprint with multiplexed I/O.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding instruction timing for the R5F1211AMSP#50?
The R5F1211AMSP#50 supports a maximum operating frequency of 16 MHz using its on-chip high-speed oscillator. At this speed, the minimum instruction execution time is 0.0625 μs. This timing is achievable across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) with ±1.5% frequency accuracy, making the R5F1211AMSP#50 suitable for deterministic real-time control loops without external clock components.
Does the R5F1211AMSP#50 support in-system programming (ISP) and secure firmware updates?
Yes, the R5F1211AMSP#50 supports in-system programming via its on-chip debug interface (TOOL0/TOOLRxD/TOOLTxD pins) and includes flash shield window functionality to prevent unauthorized read-out of code flash contents. Self-programming allows firmware updates without boot swap, and the 1 KB data flash supports background write operations - though background operation is not supported during data flash rewriting, requiring careful state management in the R5F1211AMSP#50 application firmware.
How many capacitive touch channels does the R5F1211AMSP#50 support, and what configuration options are available?
The R5F1211AMSP#50 integrates a dedicated Capacitive Touch Sensing Unit (CTSU) supporting up to 15 self-capacitance channels - each mapped to a single GPIO pin such as P02/TSCAP. It also supports mutual capacitance matrix configurations using up to 15 pins for transmit/receive pairing, enabling up to 16 keys. All CTSU functions are implemented in hardware with no CPU overhead, and the R5F1211AMSP#50 datasheet confirms full CTSU operation across its −40°C to +125°C rating.
What are the power supply requirements and low-power modes supported by the R5F1211AMSP#50?
The R5F1211AMSP#50 operates from a single 2.4 V to 5.5 V supply (VDD) with no auxiliary rails required. It supports HALT mode (CPU halted, peripherals active) and STOP mode (all clocks halted except RTC) - achieving sub-1 μA current consumption in STOP mode with RTC running. These modes are controlled via software registers and are fully specified across the M-grade temperature range, ensuring predictable battery life in portable R5F1211AMSP#50 deployments.
Can the R5F1211AMSP#50 interface with external I²C devices, and which pins are assigned to I²C functions?
Yes, the R5F1211AMSP#50 supports simplified I²C (referred to as "Simplified I2C" in documentation) on pins P03/SCLA0 and P04/SDAA0, and full I²C (IICA) on P03/SCLA0 and P04/SDAA0 - sharing the same physical pins. The peripheral I/O redirection register (PIOR) allows remapping of these functions if needed. Both modes operate at standard (100 kHz) and fast (400 kHz) speeds, and the R5F1211AMSP#50's internal pull-up capability eliminates external resistors in many configurations.
