It integrates capacitive touch sensing (15 channels), 10-bit A/D converter (11 analog inputs), real-time clock with calendar, and low-power STOP/HALT modes for battery-powered HMI and sensor control applications.
For engineers reviewing the R5F1217CGNA#60 datasheet, R5F1217CGNA#60 pinout, R5F1217CGNA#60 application, or R5F1217CGNA#60 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated package mapping, confirmed peripheral functions, and real-world design context for embedded control in industrial appliances, smart sensors, and touch-enabled UIs.
Technical Context
The R5F1217CGNA#60 implements the RL78 CPU core with CISC architecture and 3-stage pipeline, 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 size), 1 KB data flash (512 B blocks, 1M rewrite cycles), and 2 KB on-chip RAM.
Peripherals include eight 16-bit timers, one 12-bit interval timer, watchdog timer, RTC2 with 99-year calendar and alarm, four serial interfaces (SPI/CSI, UART, simplified I²C, full I²C), and a dedicated capacitive touch sensing unit (CTSU) supporting self- and mutual-capacitance configurations across 15 pins.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding instruction cycle time for the R5F1217CGNA#60?
The R5F1217CGNA#60 supports a high-speed on-chip oscillator up to 16 MHz, delivering a minimum instruction execution time of 0.0625 μs. This timing is achievable with the high-speed on-chip oscillator enabled and applies across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +105°C) specified for the G-grade R5F1217CGNA#60.
Does the R5F1217CGNA#60 support background data flash rewriting while executing code from main flash?
No, the R5F1217CGNA#60 does not support background operation (BGO) for data flash. During data flash rewriting, instruction execution from code flash memory is halted. This behavior is explicitly documented in the datasheet and requires careful firmware sequencing to avoid system lockup during updates.
How many capacitive touch sensing channels does the R5F1217CGNA#60 provide, and what configurations are supported?
The R5F1217CGNA#60 integrates a dedicated Capacitive Touch Sensing Unit (CTSU) with 15 channels. It supports both self-capacitance (up to 15 independent keys) and mutual-capacitance (matrix configuration supporting up to 16 keys) using programmable transmit/receive pin selection-all implemented in hardware without CPU overhead.
What is the purpose of the VCOUT0 and VCOUT1 pins on the R5F1217CGNA#60, and are they mandatory to use?
VCOUT0 and VCOUT1 on the R5F1217CGNA#60 are voltage output pins used for CTSU reference generation and analog subsystem biasing. They are multiplexed with other functions (e.g., P02/VCOUT0, P07/VCOUT1) and are optional-only required when using specific CTSU modes or external analog references. Their use depends on the selected touch sensing configuration and is not mandatory for basic operation.
Can the R5F1217CGNA#60 operate with a 32.768 kHz crystal for real-time clock functionality, and is external circuitry needed?
Yes, the R5F1217CGNA#60 supports a 32.768 kHz crystal connected to X1/XT1 (P121) and X2/XT2 (P122) pins for RTC2 operation. No external load capacitors are required-the oscillator circuit includes internal trimming capacitors, simplifying board design and improving reliability in industrial environments.
