Product details
Overview
R5F1211CMSP#50 from Renesas Electronics is a 10-pin, 32 KB flash RL78/G16 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 operates from 2.4–5.5 V, supports HALT/STOP low-power modes, and delivers real-time control in space-constrained embedded systems such as appliance control panels and industrial sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the R5F1211CMSP#50 datasheet, R5F1211CMSP#50 pinout, R5F1211CMSP#50 application, or R5F1211CMSP#50 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping, key timing and interface parameters, and validated alternative options for industrial-grade MCU selection.
Technical Context
The R5F1211CMSP#50 implements the RL78 CPU core-a CISC architecture with 3-stage pipeline-supporting instruction execution times from 0.0625 μs (@16 MHz high-speed on-chip oscillator) to 30.5 μs (@32.768 kHz subsystem clock). It integrates a 16-bit timer array (8 channels), 12-bit interval timer, watchdog timer, and real-time clock with 99-year calendar and alarm function.
Its analog subsystem includes an 8/10-bit A/D converter (4-channel input), two comparators with selectable reference sources, and internal voltage references (0.815 V TYP.) and temperature sensor. The CTSU supports both self-capacitance (up to 15 keys) and mutual capacitance (matrix up to 16 keys) operation without external components.
