Product details
Overview
R5F1214CMNA#20 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-pin HWQFN-packaged 32-bit RL78/G16 microcontroller with 32 KB code flash, 2 KB RAM, and industrial-grade −40°C to +125°C operation. It integrates an 8/10-bit ADC (11-channel), capacitive touch sensing unit (15-channel), real-time clock with calendar, and dual serial interfaces - designed for embedded control in motor drives and industrial HMI panels.
For engineers reviewing the R5F1214CMNA#20 datasheet, R5F1214CMNA#20 pinout, R5F1214CMNA#20 application, or R5F1214CMNA#20 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated package mapping, confirmed peripheral functions, and real-world selection guidance for high-temperature industrial MCU replacement and new design-in.
Technical Context
The R5F1214CMNA#20 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture and 3-stage pipeline, supporting instruction execution times from 0.0625 μs (@16 MHz) to 30.5 μs (@32.768 kHz). 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 on-chip RAM.
Peripheral integration centers on low-power operation: HALT/STOP modes, 61-μA/MHz active current at 125°C, and dedicated hardware for capacitive touch sensing (CTSU) with self- and mutual-capacitance support. Clocking uses a high-speed on-chip oscillator (±1.5% accuracy at TA = −40 to +125°C) and optional external crystal (X1/X2).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F1214CGNA#20 | G-grade (−40°C to +105°C); identical pinout, memory, and peripherals | Suitable for industrial applications not requiring full +125°C operation | Select when ambient temperature stays below +105°C to reduce cost while retaining same footprint and firmware |
| R5F1214AMNA#20 | A-grade (−40°C to +85°C); 16 KB code flash (vs. 32 KB); otherwise identical package and I/O | Targeted at cost-sensitive consumer-grade devices with lower memory needs | Choose for simpler firmware or legacy designs where 16 KB flash suffices and extended temp range is unnecessary |
