Product details
Overview
R5F1211CASP#50 from Renesas Electronics is a 10-pin, 32 KB flash RL78/G16 16-bit microcontroller with 2 KB RAM, 8/10-bit ADC (4-channel), capacitive touch sensing (15-channel), and integrated low-power peripherals including HALT/STOP modes, RTC, and multiple serial interfaces (UART, SPI, I²C). It targets compact industrial HMI and battery-powered sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the R5F1211CASP#50 datasheet, R5F1211CASP#50 pinout, R5F1211CASP#50 application, or R5F1211CASP#50 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10-pin LSSOP package, 2.4–5.5 V operation, −40°C to +85°C temperature grade (A), and integrated CTSU for touch-button control in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The R5F1211CASP#50 implements the RL78 CPU core with a 3-stage pipeline, supporting instruction execution times from 0.0625 μs (@16 MHz) to 30.5 μs (@32.768 kHz), enabling dynamic power/performance scaling. Its memory subsystem includes 32 KB code flash (1 KB blocks), 1 KB data flash (512 B blocks), and 2 KB SRAM.
Peripherals are tightly integrated: a 16-bit timer array (8 channels), real-time clock with calendar/alarm, watchdog timer, two comparators, and a dedicated capacitive touch sensing unit (CTSU) supporting self- and mutual-capacitance configurations - all accessible via multiplexed I/O on its 10-pin LSSOP footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F1211CASP#50?
The R5F1211CASP#50 supports a maximum CPU operating frequency of 16 MHz using its high-speed on-chip oscillator. At this speed, the minimum instruction execution time is 0.0625 μs. The oscillator offers selectable frequencies (1/2/4/8/16 MHz) with ±1.0% accuracy across −20°C to +85°C, eliminating need for external crystals in most applications.
Does the R5F1211CASP#50 support in-system programming (ISP)?
Yes, the R5F1211CASP#50 supports self-programming of its code and data flash memory via the on-chip debug interface (TOOL0/TOOLTxD/TOOLRxD pins). It includes flash shield window protection and erase-before-write functionality. No boot swap is implemented, but background operation is not required since programming occurs during debug session or controlled firmware update sequences.
How many capacitive touch channels does the R5F1211CASP#50 support?
The R5F1211CASP#50 integrates a Capacitive Touch Sensing Unit (CTSU) supporting up to 15 self-capacitance channels or up to 16 mutual-capacitance keys using matrix configuration. All CTSU channels are accessible through dedicated TSCAP and TSxx pins (e.g., TS00–TS04), with hardware-accelerated scanning and noise cancellation built into the peripheral.
What are the power supply requirements for the R5F1211CASP#50?
The R5F1211CASP#50 operates from a single 2.4 V to 5.5 V supply on VDD, with VSS as the reference ground. It includes an on-chip selectable power-on-reset (SPOR) circuit with three reset threshold levels. The device draws as little as 0.5 μA in STOP mode and 1.2 μA in HALT mode, making it suitable for battery-powered applications with multi-year runtime expectations.
Is the R5F1211CASP#50 pin-compatible with other RL78/G16 variants?
Yes, the R5F1211CASP#50 shares identical pinout and electrical characteristics with all other 10-pin RL78/G16 devices in LSSOP package (e.g., R5F1211AASP#50, R5F1211CGSP, R5F1211CMSP). Function mapping (e.g., CTSU, ADC, UART) is consistent across the 10-pin family - only flash size, temperature grade, and memory configuration differ between part numbers.
