FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding instruction timing for R5F1214AGNA#40?
The R5F1214AGNA#40 supports a maximum high-speed operation of 16 MHz using the on-chip oscillator, delivering a minimum instruction execution time of 0.0625 μs. This timing is achievable across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +105°C) with ±1.5% frequency accuracy. Lower frequencies (8/4/2/1 MHz) are selectable for reduced power consumption without changing hardware configuration.
Does R5F1214AGNA#40 support background data flash rewriting while executing code from flash memory?
No, the R5F1214AGNA#40 does not support background operation (BGO) for data flash rewriting. During data flash write or erase operations, code execution from the code flash memory is halted. The device requires explicit software sequencing to enter a safe state before initiating flash writes, and execution resumes only after the operation completes and status flags are cleared.
How many capacitive touch sensing channels does R5F1214AGNA#40 provide, and what configurations are supported?
The R5F1214AGNA#40 integrates a 15-channel capacitive touch sensing unit (CTSU). It supports self-capacitance mode (one key per pin, up to 15 keys) and mutual-capacitance matrix mode (transmit/receive pin pairing from the same 15 pins, supporting up to 16 keys). Both modes operate without external components and are configurable via dedicated CTSU registers in the R5F1214AGNA#40 peripheral set.
What serial communication interfaces are available on R5F1214AGNA#40, and how many instances of each?
The R5F1214AGNA#40 provides up to three simplified SPI (CSI) channels, three UART channels, three simplified I²C channels, and one full I²C channel. These interfaces are implemented in the Serial Array Unit (SAU) and IICA peripheral blocks. Pin multiplexing and Peripheral I/O Redirection (PIOR) registers allow flexible assignment of these functions across multiple I/O pins, enabling concurrent use of different protocols.
What is the analog-to-digital converter resolution and input channel count for R5F1214AGNA#40?
The R5F1214AGNA#40 features a 10-bit successive-approximation A/D converter with up to 11 analog input channels (ANI0–ANI10). It includes an internal reference voltage of 0.815 V (typical), an integrated temperature sensor, and selectable input ranges - all accessible without external components. Conversion is triggered by software, timers, or serial interface events.
