Product details
Overview
R5F21153DSP#U0 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit R8C/Tiny Series microcontroller with 12 KB program flash ROM, 1 KB × 2 data flash (2 KB total), 768 bytes RAM, and integrated 10-bit 4-channel ADC, UART, SSU, and three timers (8-bit ×2, 16-bit ×1). It operates at up to 20 MHz (50 ns min instruction time) across 2.7–5.5 V and targets embedded control in household appliances and industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the R5F21153DSP#U0 datasheet, R5F21153DSP#U0 pinout, R5F21153DSP#U0 application, or R5F21153DSP#U0 equivalent, this MCU delivers deterministic real-time control with on-chip oscillators, voltage detection, watchdog timer, and low-power stop mode (0.7 µA), making it suitable for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs requiring field-programmable nonvolatile memory and analog sensing.
Technical Context
The R5F21153DSP#U0 implements the R8C/Tiny CPU core with 89 basic instructions and 1 Mbyte linear address space. Its memory architecture separates 12 KB program ROM (0C000h–0FFFFh) from two 1 KB data flash blocks (02400h–02BFFh), enabling independent firmware updates and parameter storage without erasing application code.
Peripheral integration includes a 16-bit Timer C with input capture/output compare, dual 8-bit timers (X/Z) with prescalers, clock-synchronous serial I/O (SSU), UART, and four analog inputs routed through shared pins (AN8–AN11) with internal reference support (VREF tied to VCC). The device uses a 20-pin LSSOP package (PLSP0020JB-A) with dedicated LED drive capability on P1_0–P1_3.

R5F21153DSP#U0 contains two independent 1 KB data flash blocks (total 2 KB), mapped to addresses 02400h–027FFh (Block A) and 02800h–02BFFh (Block B). Each block supports 10,000 program/erase cycles, enabling reliable storage of calibration data, device configuration, or usage logs across product lifetime.
Can R5F21153DSP#U0 operate from a single-cell lithium battery?
Yes, R5F21153DSP#U0 supports 2.7–5.5 V operation, making it compatible with a single Li-ion/Li-polymer cell (nominal 3.7 V, discharge range ~3.0–4.2 V). Its 0.7 µA stop mode current and programmable voltage detector ensure safe brown-out handling and extended runtime in portable applications.
What peripheral functions share pins with the 10-bit ADC inputs on R5F21153DSP#U0?
ADC channels AN8–AN11 are multiplexed with P1_0–P1_3, which also serve as key input interrupt pins (KI0–KI3) and comparator outputs (CMP0_0–CMP0_3).
