Product details
Overview
R5F21182NP#U0 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit single-chip CMOS 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 timers (8-bit ×2, 16-bit ×1), UART + clock-synchronous serial I/O, 1-bit comparator (4 channels), watchdog timer, and 13 I/O pins - used in embedded control of household appliances and industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the R5F21182NP#U0 datasheet, R5F21182NP#U0 pinout, R5F21182NP#U0 application, or R5F21182NP#U0 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin functions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts for design-in and supply continuity planning.
Technical Context
The R5F21182NP#U0 implements a 16-bit R8C/Tiny CPU with 89 fundamental instructions and a 1 Mbyte address space. Its memory map allocates flash ROM starting at 0E000h (8 KB), RAM at 00400h (512 B), and SFRs in 00000h–002FFh. The device supports two clock sources: external crystal/resonator (XIN/XOUT) and on-chip high-speed oscillator with frequency adjustment.
Peripheral integration includes Timer X/Z (8-bit, prescaled), Timer C (16-bit with input capture/output compare), dual UART channels (one shared with clock-sync serial I/O), and a 4-channel 1-bit comparator with analog inputs AN8–AN11. Power management features wait/stop modes with current down to 35 µA and 0.7 µA respectively at 3.0 V.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F21182SP | Same 8 KB flash, 512 B RAM, but in 20-pin LSSOP (PLSP0020JB-A) package | Limited I/O count (13 vs. 13 functional, but fewer physical pins); no HWQFN thermal performance | Select when board space allows larger footprint and thermal requirements are moderate |
| R5F21192NP | Adds 2 KB data flash (1 KB ×2 blocks); otherwise identical core/peripherals/package | Enables field-upgradable parameter storage or firmware patching - not supported by R5F21182NP#U0 | Choose when nonvolatile user data retention or firmware update capability is required |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F21182NP#U0?
The R5F21182NP#U0 operates at up to 20 MHz with a minimum instruction execution time of 50 ns when VCC is 3.0–5.5 V. This frequency is achieved using either the external main clock (XIN/XOUT) or the internal high-speed oscillator, which supports software-adjustable frequency tuning for system-level timing flexibility.
Does the R5F21182NP#U0 include on-chip data flash memory?
No, the R5F21182NP#U0 belongs to the R8C/18 Group and contains only program flash memory (8 KB). It does not include dedicated data flash. For data flash capability, consider the pin-compatible R5F21192NP from the R8C/19 Group, which adds 2 KB of data flash (1 KB ×2 blocks) while retaining identical package and peripheral set.
