Product details
Overview
R5F21124DFP from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit R8C/Tiny Series microcontroller in a 32-pin LQFP package, featuring 16 KB flash program ROM, 1 KB RAM, dual 2 KB data flash blocks, 10-bit 8-channel ADC, three 8-bit timers (X/Y/Z), one 16-bit timer C with input capture, UART and clock-synchronous serial interface, and watchdog timer. It operates from −40°C to +85°C and supports embedded control in sensor-based housing equipment and industrial appliances.
For engineers reviewing the R5F21124DFP datasheet, R5F21124DFP pinout, R5F21124DFP application, or R5F21124DFP equivalent, key selection criteria include its −40°C to +85°C operating range (D-version), dual 2 KB data flash for firmware updates, integrated LED drive capability on P10–P17, and UART+clock-sync serial interface for host communication and sensor data aggregation.
Technical Context
The R5F21124DFP implements the R8C/Tiny Series CPU core with 89 basic instructions and executes at 62.5 ns minimum instruction time (16 MHz XIN, 3.0–5.5 V). Its memory map allocates 1 MB address space, with fixed interrupt vector table at 0FFDC16–0FFFF16, program ROM starting at 0C00016, and data flash at 0200016–02FFF16.
Peripheral integration includes two independent serial interfaces (UART0 and UART1/clock-sync), an 8-channel 10-bit ADC with internal reference, and four external interrupt inputs (INT0–INT3) plus key-input interrupts (KI0–KI3), all managed under a 7-level priority interrupt controller supporting software, internal, and external sources.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the R5F21124DFP?
The R5F21124DFP is rated for −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, designated by the "D" suffix in its part number. This industrial-grade specification ensures reliable operation in harsh environments such as factory automation panels, outdoor sensor enclosures, and HVAC control units where thermal extremes occur. The R5F21124DFP maintains full functionality across this range without derating.
Does the R5F21124DFP support in-system programming via UART?
Yes, the R5F21124DFP supports in-system programming (ISP) through its UART0 interface using Renesas' standard flash programming protocol. This allows firmware updates in the field without removing the device from the PCB. The R5F21124DFP's dual 2 KB data flash blocks further enable safe background updates while maintaining active program execution in the main ROM area.
How many analog input channels does the R5F21124DFP ADC support?
The R5F21124DFP integrates a single 10-bit successive-approximation ADC with eight analog input channels (AN0–AN7), mapped to port pins P00–P07. Each channel supports programmable sampling time and conversion trigger sources, including software, timer, or external events. The R5F21124DFP also provides internal VREF routing and separate AVCC/AVSS pins for noise-isolated analog measurements.
Can the R5F21124DFP drive LEDs directly without external transistors?
Yes, the R5F21124DFP's P10–P17 port pins are specifically designed as LED drive ports capable of sinking up to 20 mA per pin. This allows direct connection of common-anode LEDs with appropriate current-limiting resistors. The R5F21124DFP's port direction registers and output latch control enable efficient multiplexed display driving - eliminating discrete driver ICs in HMI applications.
What debug interface does the R5F21124DFP provide?
The R5F21124DFP features an on-chip debug interface accessible via dedicated pins P46 (debug clock) and P47 (debug data), supporting full in-circuit debugging, breakpoint setting, and real-time variable monitoring without requiring external JTAG adapters. This debug capability is enabled by default and requires no additional firmware overhead - simplifying development and validation of the R5F21124DFP-based systems.
