Product details
Overview
R5F21142SP#U0 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit R8C/Tiny Series microcontroller with 8 KB flash program memory, 512 bytes RAM, and a 20-pin LSSOP package. It integrates an 8-bit ×1 Timer X, 8-bit ×1 Timer Z, 16-bit ×1 Timer C with input capture/output compare, 10-bit ×4-channel ADC, UART/serial I/O, and on-chip oscillators. It targets low-power embedded control in consumer appliance motor drives and sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the R5F21142SP#U0 datasheet, R5F21142SP#U0 pinout, R5F21142SP#U0 application, or R5F21142SP#U0 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed operating conditions (−20°C to +85°C, 2.7–5.5 V), real-world use cases, and two technically documented alternative parts for design continuity.
Technical Context
The R5F21142SP#U0 implements the R8C/Tiny CPU core with 89 basic instructions and executes at 50 ns minimum instruction time (20 MHz XIN, 3.0–5.5 V). Its memory architecture provides 1 Mbyte address space, fixed interrupt vector table at 0FFDCh–0FFFFh, and flash-based program storage without data flash-distinguishing it from R8C/15 group members.
It features dual clock generation: main crystal/ceramic resonator circuit (XIN/XOUT) and high-/low-speed on-chip oscillators with frequency adjustment capability. Peripheral control uses dedicated SFRs-including PM0/PM1 for processor mode, CM0/CM1 for clock control, and individual interrupt enable registers per peripheral-enabling precise power and timing management in resource-constrained systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F21142SP#U0?
The R5F21142SP#U0 achieves a minimum instruction execution time of 50 ns when operated with a 20 MHz external crystal (XIN) and supply voltage between 3.0 V and 5.5 V. At 10 MHz, minimum execution time is 100 ns under 2.7–5.5 V conditions. The on-chip high-speed oscillator supports trimmed frequencies up to 20 MHz without external components.
Does the R5F21142SP#U0 include data flash memory?
No, the R5F21142SP#U0 belongs to the R8C/14 Group and contains only 8 KB of flash program memory and 512 bytes of RAM. It does not integrate data flash. Data flash (1 KB ×2 blocks) is exclusive to the R8C/15 Group, such as the R5F21152SP#U0.
What package type is used for the R5F21142SP#U0?
The R5F21142SP#U0 is packaged in a 20-pin plastic molded LSSOP (PLSP0020JB-A), measuring 7.6 mm × 4.4 mm with 0.65 mm lead pitch. This fine-pitch surface-mount package supports automated assembly and meets JEDEC MS-013 standards.
Can the R5F21142SP#U0 operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the R5F21142SP#U0 operates across 2.7 V to 5.5 V. At 3.3 V, it supports up to 10 MHz operation (100 ns min. instruction time) and draws typical current of 5 mA at 10 MHz - making it suitable for 3.3 V system designs with moderate performance requirements.
How many analog input channels does the R5F21142SP#U0 support?
The R5F21142SP#U0 integrates a single 10-bit successive-approximation ADC with four dedicated analog input pins: AN8, AN9, AN10, and AN11. These map to P1_0, P1_1, P1_2, and P1_3 respectively and share functionality with key input and comparator outputs.
