Product details
Overview
R5F21143SP#U0 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit R8C/Tiny Series microcontroller with 12 KB flash program memory, 768 bytes RAM, and integrated 10-bit 4-channel ADC, deployed in embedded control for household appliances and industrial sensors. It features an 8-bit Timer X, 8-bit Timer Z, 16-bit Timer C with input capture/output compare, UART/SSU serial interface, and operates at up to 20 MHz (50 ns min instruction time) across 3.0–5.5 V supply.
For engineers reviewing the R5F21143SP#U0 datasheet, R5F21143SP#U0 pinout, R5F21143SP#U0 application, or R5F21143SP#U0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its LSSOP-20 package, data retention without external EEPROM, low-power stop mode (0.7 µA), and compatibility with Renesas' R8C/14 Group toolchain and debug infrastructure.
Technical Context
The R5F21143SP#U0 implements the R8C/Tiny CPU core with 89 basic instructions and 1 Mbyte unified address space. Its memory map allocates flash ROM from 0xD000–0xFFFF, fixed interrupt vector table at 0xFFDC–0xFFFF, and RAM from 0x00400–0x006FF.
It integrates dual clock generation circuits - main crystal/ceramic oscillator (XIN/XOUT) and adjustable high-speed/low-speed on-chip oscillators - alongside oscillation stop detection, voltage detection (VCA1/VCA2), and power-on reset. Peripheral control uses dedicated SFRs mapped to addresses 0x0000–0x002F and 0x0040–0x005F.

The R5F21143SP#U0 belongs to the R8C/14 Group - a cost-optimized 16-bit MCU family designed for resource-constrained embedded control in consumer and industrial applications where flash density, low power, and peripheral integration are prioritized over connectivity or advanced processing.
FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F21143SP#U0?
The R5F21143SP#U0 supports a maximum crystal input frequency of 20 MHz, achieving a minimum instruction execution time of 50 ns at VCC = 3.0–5.5 V. The on-chip high-speed oscillator can be adjusted to operate within 1–20 MHz ranges, but full-speed operation requires external crystal or resonator at 20 MHz. This timing applies directly to the R5F21143SP#U0 and is validated in Renesas' REJ03B0102-0200 specification.
Does the R5F21143SP#U0 include data flash memory?
No, the R5F21143SP#U0 is part of the R8C/14 Group and contains only program flash memory (12 KB). It does not integrate data flash - that feature is exclusive to the R8C/15 Group (e.g., R5F21153SP). The R5F21143SP#U0 relies on external EEPROM or FRAM for non-volatile data storage, confirmed in Table 1.3 and Section 1.1 of the official documentation.
What are the key differences between R5F21143SP#U0 and R5F21153SP?
The R5F21143SP#U0 (R8C/14) has 12 KB program flash and no data flash, while R5F21153SP (R8C/15) provides 12 KB program flash plus 2 KB data flash (1 KB × 2 blocks) with 10,000 erase/write cycles. Both share identical pinout, peripherals, and CPU core. The R5F21143SP#U0 targets cost-sensitive control; R5F21153SP adds field-updatable parameter storage - a functional distinction confirmed in Tables 1.3 and 1.4 of REJ03B0102-0200.
Which development tools support the R5F21143SP#U0?
The R5F21143SP#U0 is supported by Renesas' High-performance Embedded Workshop (HEW) IDE with C compiler, Flash Development Toolkit (FDT), and E8/E8a debug emulators. Hardware evaluation is enabled via R8C/14 Group starter kits like RTK0EM0002D01000BE. These tools are documented in Renesas Application Note U15777EJ3V0UM00 and apply specifically to the R5F21143SP#U0's R8C/14 Group classification.
What is the qualified temperature range for the R5F21143SP#U0?
The R5F21143SP#U0 is rated for −20°C to +85°C ambient operation (standard version). The 'D' suffix (e.g., R5F21143DSP) denotes the extended −40°C to +85°C grade. This specification is explicitly stated in Table 1.1 and Table 1.3 of the R8C/14 Group datasheet REJ03B0102-0200 and applies unambiguously to the R5F21143SP#U0.
