Overview
R5F1216AASP#30 from Renesas Electronics is a 20-pin, 16 KB flash RL78/G16 16-bit microcontroller with integrated capacitive touch sensing (15-channel CTSU), 10-bit A/D converter (11-channel), and real-time clock (99-year calendar). It operates from 2.4–5.5 V, supports HALT/STOP low-power modes, and targets cost-sensitive industrial HMI and appliance control applications.
For engineers reviewing the R5F1216AASP#30 datasheet, R5F1216AASP#30 pinout, R5F1216AASP#30 application, or R5F1216AASP#30 equivalent, key selection criteria include its LSSOP-20 package, consumer-grade temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), 16 KB code flash / 2 KB RAM configuration, and native support for touch UI, UART/SPI/I²C interfaces, and RTC alarm functions.
Technical Context
The R5F1216AASP#30 implements the RL78 CPU core with a 3-stage pipeline CISC architecture, 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 16 KB code flash (1 KB block size), 1 KB data flash (512 B blocks, 1M rewrite cycles), and 2 KB on-chip RAM.
Peripheral integration includes eight 16-bit timers, one 12-bit interval timer, watchdog timer, RTC2 with calendar/alarm/correction, 10-bit A/D converter with internal reference (0.815 V) and temperature sensor, two comparators, and a dedicated capacitive touch sensing unit supporting self- and mutual-capacitance configurations across up to 16 keys.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F1216CGSP | Same 20-pin SSOP package, 16 KB flash, but rated for −40°C to +105°C (G-grade industrial) | Required for extended-temperature industrial environments where R5F1216AASP#30's 85°C max is insufficient | Select when operating ambient exceeds +85°C or long-term reliability under thermal stress is critical |
| R5F1214AASP | 16-pin LSSOP variant with identical 16 KB flash, 2 KB RAM, and CTSU, but only 4 analog inputs and no RTC2 | Suitable for simpler HMI or control tasks without calendar/timekeeping or high-channel-count analog sensing | Choose for cost-optimized designs with fewer I/O requirements and no RTC dependency |
Compared with R5F1216CGSP, the R5F1216AASP#30 trades extended temperature tolerance for lower cost and consumer qualification; compared with R5F1214AASP, it adds RTC2, 7 extra analog inputs, and 2 additional touch channels - justifying its use in time-aware, sensor-rich applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F1216AASP#30?
The R5F1216AASP#30 supports a maximum system clock frequency of 16 MHz using its 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 modes, with corresponding instruction time of 30.5 μs.
Does the R5F1216AASP#30 support in-system programming (ISP)?
Yes, the R5F1216AASP#30 supports self-programming of its 16 KB code flash memory via on-chip debug interface or application firmware. It does not include boot swap functionality, so firmware updates require careful sector management, but background operation during data flash writes is not supported - code execution halts during data flash rewriting.
How many capacitive touch channels does the R5F1216AASP#30 support?
The R5F1216AASP#30 integrates a dedicated Capacitive Touch Sensing Unit (CTSU) supporting up to 15 channels in self-capacitance mode (one key per pin) or up to 16 keys in mutual-capacitance matrix configuration. All 15 CTSU channels are accessible on its 20-pin LSSOP package, with pins P01–P07, P20–P23, and P40–P41 assigned to touch sensing functions.
What is the temperature grade of the R5F1216AASP#30?
The R5F1216AASP#30 is an A-grade device qualified for operation from −40°C to +85°C, targeting consumer and light-industrial applications. Its part number suffix "A" explicitly denotes this consumer temperature range, distinguishing it from G-grade (−40°C to +105°C) and M-grade (−40°C to +125°C) variants in the RL78/G16 family.
Can the R5F1216AASP#30 operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the R5F1216AASP#30 operates over a wide supply range of 2.4 V to 5.5 V, fully encompassing standard 3.3 V system rails. At 3.3 V, it maintains full functionality including 16 MHz operation, 10-bit ADC performance, CTSU sensitivity, and RTC accuracy - no derating or functional limitation applies within this voltage window.
