Product details
Overview
R5F1211CMSP#70 from Renesas Electronics is a 10-pin, 32 KB flash RL78/G16 16-bit microcontroller designed for ultra-low-power industrial control and capacitive touch interfaces. It operates from 2.4–5.5 V, features 2 KB RAM, 1 KB data flash, 15-channel CTSU, 8× 16-bit timers, and 10-bit A/D converter with 4 analog inputs - deployed in smart appliance control panels and battery-powered HMI modules.
For engineers reviewing the R5F1211CMSP#70 datasheet, R5F1211CMSP#70 pinout, R5F1211CMSP#70 application, or R5F1211CMSP#70 equivalent, key selection criteria include its −40°C to +125°C industrial temperature rating, LSSOP-10 package with 0.65-mm pitch, integrated RTC with calendar function, and hardware-based capacitive touch sensing unit supporting self- and mutual-capacitance modes.
Technical Context
The R5F1211CMSP#70 implements the RL78 CPU core with 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, enabling configurable instruction execution time from 0.0625 μs (16 MHz high-speed on-chip oscillator) to 30.5 μs (32.768 kHz subsystem clock). Its memory subsystem includes 32 KB code flash (1 KB block size), 1 KB data flash (512 B blocks, 1M rewrite cycles), and 2 KB SRAM.
Peripheral integration includes one I²C interface, up to three simplified SPI/CSI channels, up to three UART channels, 16-bit timer array (8 channels), real-time clock with alarm and correction, watchdog timer, and a dedicated capacitive touch sensing unit (CTSU) with 15 channels supporting both self- and mutual-capacitance configurations.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 10-pin plastic LSSOP (4.4 × 3.6 mm, 0.65-mm pitch), exposed pad not present. Suited for compact PCB layouts with manual or automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| P125/RESET/INTP1 | Reset input / External interrupt 1 | Active-low reset with internal pull-up; dual-function pin enables hardware reset or wake-up from STOP mode. |
| P40/TOOL0/INTP2 | On-chip debug interface / Interrupt 2 | Enables serial wire debug (SWD) programming and runtime debugging without dedicated JTAG pins. |
| P137/INTP0/TI00 | External interrupt 0 / Timer I/O 0 | Configurable as edge-triggered interrupt source or timer capture/compare channel for pulse-width measurement. |
| VSS | Ground reference | Dedicated analog/digital ground pin; must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane for noise immunity. |
| VDD | Power supply | Single 2.4–5.5 V supply powers core, peripherals, and CTSU; no separate analog rail required. |
| P04/ANI3/IVREF0/INTP3 | Analog input 3 / Internal voltage reference / Interrupt 3 | Supports ADC conversion using internal 0.815 V reference or external signal; doubles as wake-up source. |
| P03/ANI2/IVCMP0/INTP4 | Analog input 2 / Comparator input / Interrupt 4 | Enables threshold detection via comparator with selectable internal/external reference; triggers interrupt on crossing. |
| P02/PCLBUZ0/ANI1/VCOUT0/INTP7/TSCAP | Buzzer output / Analog input 1 / CTSU electrode | Direct drive of piezo buzzer; also serves as capacitive touch sense channel with built-in charge-transfer circuitry. |
| P01/TOOLRxD/ANI0/INTP5/TS00 | Debug UART RX / Analog input 0 / Touch sense 0 | Shares debug interface with analog input and CTSU channel - simplifies layout but requires functional multiplexing. |
| P00/TOOLTxD/INTP6/SO00/TxD0 | Debug UART TX / Interrupt 6 / SPI output / UART TX | Multi-function serial pin supports debug communication, SPI master output, or full-duplex UART transmission. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low-power STOP/HALT modes | Reduces current draw to sub-μA levels while retaining RAM and register state - ideal for battery-backed applications. |
| Hardware CTSU with self/mutual capacitance | Eliminates need for external touch controller IC; supports robust button/slider/knob interfaces with noise rejection. |
| Integrated RTC with 99-year calendar | Provides timestamping, alarm scheduling, and clock correction without external crystal or real-time OS overhead. |
| On-chip high-speed oscillator (±1.0% @ 16 MHz) | Removes external crystal requirement for most timing-critical functions, reducing BOM cost and board area. |
| Background data flash programming disabled | Ensures deterministic real-time behavior - flash writes halt CPU execution, preventing jitter in time-sensitive tasks. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F1211CMSP#70?
The R5F1211CMSP#70 supports up to 16 MHz operation using its high-speed on-chip oscillator. Frequency accuracy is ±1.0% over VDD = 2.4–5.5 V and TA = −20°C to +85°C. The device also supports lower-frequency modes down to 32.768 kHz for ultra-low-power RTC and STOP-mode operation - all without external crystals.
Does the R5F1211CMSP#70 support background data flash rewriting?
No, the R5F1211CMSP#70 does not support background operation (BGO) for data flash. During data flash rewriting, instruction execution from code flash memory is halted. This ensures deterministic timing but requires careful firmware sequencing to avoid disrupting real-time tasks - a trade-off confirmed in the R01DS0431EJ0130 datasheet.
How many capacitive touch channels does the R5F1211CMSP#70 support?
The R5F1211CMSP#70 integrates a 15-channel Capacitive Touch Sensing Unit (CTSU). It supports self-capacitance mode (15 independent keys) or mutual-capacitance mode (up to 16 keys in matrix configuration using selected transmit/receive pins), with hardware-accelerated charge-transfer measurement and noise cancellation.
What debug interface is available on the R5F1211CMSP#70?
The R5F1211CMSP#70 provides on-chip debug via TOOL0 (P40) and TOOLRxD/TOOLTxD (P01/P00) pins, implementing Renesas' Serial Wire Debug (SWD) protocol. No external debug probe is needed beyond standard SWD headers - enabling in-system programming and real-time variable inspection without JTAG overhead.
Is an external crystal required for RTC operation in the R5F1211CMSP#70?
No, the R5F1211CMSP#70 includes a dedicated low-speed on-chip oscillator for RTC operation, supporting calendar functions, alarms, and clock correction without external 32.768 kHz crystal. The RTC remains active in STOP mode and maintains timekeeping with typical accuracy of ±2.0 ppm over −40°C to +125°C.
