Overview
R5F21142SP#W4 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit R8C/Tiny Series microcontroller with 8 KB flash program memory, 512 bytes RAM, and integrated 10-bit 4-channel ADC, designed for embedded control in electric household appliances and office equipment.
For engineers reviewing the R5F21142SP#W4 datasheet, R5F21142SP#W4 pinout, R5F21142SP#W4 application, or R5F21142SP#W4 equivalent, this MCU delivers deterministic 50 ns instruction execution at 20 MHz, low-power stop mode (0.7 µA), and LSSOP-20 packaging for space-constrained industrial sensor nodes and housing equipment interfaces.
Technical Context
The R5F21142SP#W4 implements the R8C/Tiny CPU core with 89 basic instructions and a 1 Mbyte unified address space. It integrates dual clock generation circuits - a main crystal oscillator (XIN/XOUT) and adjustable high-speed/low-speed on-chip oscillators - enabling flexible timing without external crystals in cost-sensitive designs.
Peripheral integration includes Timer X/Z (8-bit × 2), Timer C (16-bit with input capture/output compare), UART + clock-synchronous serial I/O, SSU interface, and four key-input interrupt pins (KI0–KI3). All I/O ports support programmable pull-up and LED drive capability on P1_0–P1_3.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F21152SP#W4 | Same package and pinout; adds 2×1 KB data flash (10,000 write cycles) but identical program ROM (8 KB) and peripherals | Suitable where field firmware updates or parameter storage required; not needed for fixed-function control | Select R5F21152SP#W4 only if data flash persistence is mandatory; otherwise R5F21142SP#W4 offers lower cost and same core functionality |
| R5F21142DSP#W4 | Identical silicon except extended temperature range (–40°C to +85°C); same memory, peripherals, and LSSOP-20 package | Required for automotive cabin modules or outdoor industrial enclosures; unnecessary for indoor consumer appliances | Choose R5F21142DSP#W4 when operating below –20°C; standard R5F21142SP#W4 suffices for room-temperature environments |
Compared with R5F21152SP#W4, the R5F21142SP#W4 omits data flash to reduce cost and complexity in fixed-program applications; compared with R5F21142DSP#W4, it trades extended temperature tolerance for lower unit price in commercial-grade deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding supply voltage for the R5F21142SP#W4?
The R5F21142SP#W4 achieves a minimum instruction execution time of 50 ns at 20 MHz, requiring VCC = 3.0 V to 5.5 V. At 10 MHz, it supports down to 2.7 V. This allows full-speed operation across standard 3.3 V and 5 V systems without voltage translation.
Does the R5F21142SP#W4 include data flash memory?
No, the R5F21142SP#W4 belongs to the R8C/14 Group and contains only 8 KB of flash program memory. Data flash (1 KB × 2 blocks) is exclusive to the R8C/15 Group, such as the R5F21152SP#W4. The R5F21142SP#W4 relies on external EEPROM or RAM for non-volatile data storage.
Which pins on the R5F21142SP#W4 support LED drive functionality?
P1_0, P1_1, P1_2, and P1_3 on the R5F21142SP#W4 are configured as LED drive ports capable of sinking up to 20 mA per pin. These pins also serve as key inputs (KI0–KI3) and ADC channels (AN8–AN11), enabling shared use in compact HMI designs.
What low-power modes does the R5F21142SP#W4 support, and what is the lowest current consumption?
The R5F21142SP#W4 supports wait mode (35 µA typical at 3.0 V, peripheral clocks off) and stop mode (0.7 µA typical at 3.0 V). Stop mode halts the CPU, clocks, and most peripherals while retaining RAM and register contents, enabling ultra-low-power wake-on-interrupt operation.
Is the R5F21142SP#W4 pin-compatible with other devices in the R8C/Tiny family?
Yes, the R5F21142SP#W4 shares the PLSP0020JB-A (LSSOP-20) package and identical pin assignment with all R8C/14 and R8C/15 Group members, including R5F21143SP#W4, R5F21152SP#W4, and R5F21142DSP#W4. Pin functions are consistent across the group, enabling hardware reuse.
