Renesas R5F1214CANA#60

Overview

R5F1214CANA#60 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-pin HWQFN-packaged 32 KB flash RL78/G16 microcontroller with 2 KB RAM, 10-bit A/D converter (11-channel), capacitive touch sensing unit (15-channel), and real-time clock with calendar function. It operates from 2.4 to 5.5 V and supports −40°C to +125°C industrial temperature range (M-grade), targeting low-power embedded control in appliance user interfaces and motor-driven systems.

For engineers reviewing the R5F1214CANA#60 datasheet, R5F1214CANA#60 pinout, R5F1214CANA#60 application, or R5F1214CANA#60 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16-pin HWQFN (3 × 3 mm, 0.5-mm pitch) footprint, integrated CTSU for touch buttons, RTC with 99-year calendar, and dual voltage reference support for analog measurement accuracy across temperature.

Technical Context

The R5F1214CANA#60 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture and 3-stage pipeline, enabling instruction execution times 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 block, 1M rewrite cycles), and 2 KB SRAM.

Peripheral integration includes eight 16-bit timers, one 12-bit interval timer, watchdog timer, UART/Simplified SPI/Simplified I²C (up to 3 channels each), full I²C (1 channel), two comparators, and a 15-channel capacitive touch sensing unit supporting both self- and mutual-capacitance configurations - all operating within the same 2.4–5.5 V supply range.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating temperature specification for the R5F1214CANA#60?

The R5F1214CANA#60 is rated for operation from −40°C to +125°C (M-grade), validated for industrial and automotive under-hood applications where sustained high-temperature performance is required. This rating applies across the full 2.4–5.5 V supply range and includes guaranteed functionality of all peripherals including the 10-bit ADC, CTSU, and RTC calendar.

Does the R5F1214CANA#60 support in-system programming via its debug interface?

Yes, the R5F1214CANA#60 supports on-chip debug via the TOOL0/TOOLRxD/TOOLTxD pins, enabling full in-system programming and real-time debugging without external hardware programmers. Its code flash supports self-programming with no boot swap function, allowing firmware updates directly from application code running on the R5F1214CANA#60.

How many capacitive touch channels does the R5F1214CANA#60 provide, and what configuration options exist?

The R5F1214CANA#60 integrates a 15-channel capacitive touch sensing unit (CTSU) supporting both self-capacitance (one key per pin, up to 15 keys) and mutual-capacitance matrix (transmit/receive pin pairing from 15 pins, up to 16 keys). All 15 channels are accessible through dedicated TSCAP and TSxx pins mapped to P02 and P03–P07, P41, P20–P23 in the 16-pin HWQFN package.

Can the R5F1214CANA#60 operate from a single 3.3 V supply, and are all peripherals functional at that voltage?

Yes, the R5F1214CANA#60 operates fully across 2.4–5.5 V, including standard 3.3 V supplies. At 3.3 V, all peripherals - including the 10-bit ADC (with internal 0.815 V reference), CTSU, RTC, UART, SPI, I²C, and 16-bit timers - meet datasheet specifications. The high-speed on-chip oscillator maintains ±1.5% accuracy from −40°C to +125°C at 3.3 V.

What packaging and lead-free compliance does the R5F1214CANA#60 have?

The R5F1214CANA#60 is supplied in a 16-pin HWQFN package (3 × 3 mm, 0.5-mm pitch) with exposed die pad, compliant with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 and RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The #60 suffix indicates tray packaging per Renesas specification, and the device is halogen-free and lead-free per JESD201A Class 2.
