Product details
Overview
R5F21182DSP#U0 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit single-chip microcontroller in the R8C/18 Group, featuring an R8C/Tiny Series CPU core, 8 KB flash program memory, 512 bytes RAM, and operation at up to 20 MHz (50 ns min instruction time). It integrates timer peripherals (8-bit ×2, 16-bit ×1), UART + clock-synchronous serial I/O, 4-channel 1-bit comparator, watchdog timer, and 13 I/O pins-including LED drive capability-targeting cost-sensitive embedded control in household appliances and industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the R5F21182DSP#U0 datasheet, R5F21182DSP#U0 pinout, R5F21182DSP#U0 application, or R5F21182DSP#U0 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin functions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for design-in and supply continuity planning.
Technical Context
The R5F21182DSP#U0 implements a 16-bit R8C/Tiny CPU with 89 fundamental instructions and a 1 Mbyte address space. Its memory subsystem includes on-chip flash ROM (8 KB) and SRAM (512 bytes), with no data flash-distinguishing it from R8C/19 Group variants. The device supports two clock sources: external crystal/resonator via XIN/XOUT and internal high-speed/low-speed oscillators, the former featuring frequency adjustment.
Peripheral integration includes Timer X/Z (8-bit, prescaler-equipped), Timer C (16-bit with input capture/output compare), dual UART channels (one shared with clock-synchronous serial I/O), and a 4-channel 1-bit comparator with analog inputs AN8–AN11. It operates across –40°C to +85°C (D-grade) with supply voltage 2.7–5.5 V and ultra-low stop-mode current (0.7 µA).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit MCU applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F21182DD | Same core, memory, and peripherals; packaged in 20-pin SDIP (PRDP0020BA-A) instead of LSSOP | Through-hole assembly preferred for prototyping or legacy PCBs; identical thermal and electrical specs | Select R5F21182DD for hand-soldered evaluation or repair scenarios requiring through-hole mounting |
| R5F21192DSP#U0 | Adds 2 KB data flash (1 KB × 2 blocks); otherwise identical pinout, package, and peripheral set | Requires non-volatile parameter storage (e.g., calibration data, user settings) without external EEPROM | Choose R5F21192DSP#U0 only if runtime data logging or field-updatable configuration is required |
Compared with R5F21182DSP#U0, R5F21182DD offers identical functionality in a through-hole package for manual assembly, while R5F21192DSP#U0 adds data flash for configuration retention-neither is pin-compatible replacement without firmware or layout review due to functional divergence in memory architecture.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding supply voltage range for R5F21182DSP#U0?
R5F21182DSP#U0 operates at up to 20 MHz with supply voltage 3.0–5.5 V, or up to 10 MHz with supply voltage 2.7–5.5 V. Minimum instruction execution time is 50 ns at 20 MHz and 100 ns at 10 MHz. These ratings are guaranteed across the full –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range.
Does R5F21182DSP#U0 include data flash memory?
No, R5F21182DSP#U0 belongs to the R8C/18 Group and contains only 8 KB of program flash memory and 512 bytes of RAM. It does not include data flash-unlike R8C/19 Group parts such as R5F21192DSP#U0, which integrate 2 KB of data flash (1 KB × 2 blocks).
Which package type is used by R5F21182DSP#U0, and what are its key mechanical features?
R5F21182DSP#U0 uses the PLSP0020JB-A package: a 20-pin molded-plastic LSSOP with 0.65 mm lead pitch, gull-wing leads, and RoHS compliance. Its compact footprint (7.6 × 4.4 mm) and surface-mount design support high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained applications.
How many serial communication interfaces does R5F21182DSP#U0 support, and what are their configurations?
R5F21182DSP#U0 supports two serial interfaces: one UART channel (TXD0/RXD0) and a second combined UART/clock-synchronous serial I/O channel (TXD1/RXD1/CLK0). The latter can operate in UART mode or synchronous master/slave mode, enabling flexible peripheral bridging without additional ICs.
What are the low-power modes supported by R5F21182DSP#U0, and what are their typical current draws?
R5F21182DSP#U0 supports Wait mode (35 µA @ 3.0 V, peripheral clocks off) and Stop mode (0.7 µA @ 3.0 V, all clocks halted). Both modes retain RAM contents and wake via external interrupt or reset. These values are measured under specified conditions and enable multi-year battery operation in sensor endpoints.
