Product details
Overview
R5F1214CGNA#40 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-pin HWQFN-packaged RL78/G16 16-bit microcontroller with 32 KB code flash, 2 KB RAM, and industrial-grade −40°C to +105°C operation. It integrates capacitive touch sensing (15-channel CTSU), 10-bit A/D converter (11-channel), real-time clock with calendar, and low-power STOP/HALT modes for battery-powered HMI and sensor control applications.
For engineers reviewing the R5F1214CGNA#40 datasheet, R5F1214CGNA#40 pinout, R5F1214CGNA#40 application, or R5F1214CGNA#40 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16-pin HWQFN (3 × 3 mm, 0.5-mm pitch) footprint, G-grade temperature rating, integrated CTSU for touch buttons, and dual serial interfaces (UART + simplified I²C) supporting compact industrial control nodes.
Technical Context
The R5F1214CGNA#40 implements the RL78 CPU core with a 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, supporting 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 erase), 1 KB data flash (512 B blocks, 1M rewrite cycles), and 2 KB SRAM.
Peripheral integration includes eight 16-bit timers, one 12-bit interval timer, watchdog timer, RTC2 with 99-year calendar and alarm, four serial interfaces (up to three simplified SPI/UART/I²C channels plus one full I²C), and a 15-channel capacitive touch sensing unit supporting both self- and mutual-capacitance configurations.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F1214CGNA#40?
The R5F1214CGNA#40 supports a maximum CPU operating frequency of 16 MHz using the high-speed on-chip oscillator. This yields a minimum instruction execution time of 0.0625 μs. The device also supports lower-frequency operation down to 32.768 kHz for ultra-low-power RTC and standby functions, with corresponding instruction time of 30.5 μs.
Does the R5F1214CGNA#40 support in-system programming via its serial interfaces?
Yes, the R5F1214CGNA#40 supports in-system programming using its UART or simplified SPI interfaces through the on-chip debug function. Firmware updates can be performed without removing the device from the PCB, provided the bootloader is implemented per Renesas Application Note R01AN3813EJ0100. The R5F1214CGNA#40 does not include boot swap functionality.
How many capacitive touch channels does the R5F1214CGNA#40 support, and what configuration options are available?
The R5F1214CGNA#40 integrates a 15-channel Capacitive Touch Sensing Unit (CTSU). It supports self-capacitance mode (one pin per key, up to 15 keys) and mutual-capacitance mode (matrix configuration using transmit/receive pin pairs selected from the same 15 pins, supporting up to 16 keys). No external RC components are required for either mode.
What is the data retention specification for the data flash memory in the R5F1214CGNA#40?
The data flash memory in the R5F1214CGNA#40 is rated for 1,000,000 write/erase cycles (typical) at VDD = 2.4–5.5 V. Data retention is guaranteed for 20 years at Ta = 85°C and 100 years at Ta = 25°C per Renesas specification R01DS0431EJ0130. Background operation (BGO) is not supported - code execution halts during data flash writes.
Can the R5F1214CGNA#40 operate from a single 3.0 V lithium coin cell battery?
Yes, the R5F1214CGNA#40 operates over a supply range of 2.4 V to 5.5 V, making it compatible with standard 3.0 V lithium coin cells (e.g., CR2032). In STOP mode, typical current consumption is less than 0.5 μA, enabling multi-year battery life. The high-speed on-chip oscillator remains functional down to 2.4 V, ensuring reliable startup and operation across the full battery discharge curve.
