Product details
Overview
R5F21184DD#U0 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit single-chip microcontroller in the R8C/18 Group, featuring 16 KB flash ROM, 1 KB RAM, and operation across -40°C to +85°C. It integrates an R8C/Tiny CPU core, three 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 industrial sensor nodes and appliance control subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the R5F21184DD#U0 datasheet, R5F21184DD#U0 pinout, R5F21184DD#U0 application, or R5F21184DD#U0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin SDIP package (PRDP0020BA-A), -40°C to +85°C temperature grade, flash endurance (100 write/erase cycles), low-power stop mode (0.7 µA), and absence of on-chip data flash - distinguishing it from R8C/19 Group variants.
Technical Context
The R5F21184DD#U0 implements the R8C/Tiny Series CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions and executes at 50 ns minimum instruction time (20 MHz XIN, 3.0–5.5 V). Its memory map allocates 16 KB program ROM from 0xC000–0xFFFF and 1 KB RAM from 0x0400–0x07FF within a 1 Mbyte address space.
Peripheral integration includes dual serial interfaces (UART + clock-synchronous), Timer C with input capture/output compare, and a 4-channel comparator with analog inputs AN8–AN11. The device uses two clock sources: external crystal/resonator (XIN/XOUT) and high-/low-speed on-chip oscillators - the latter with frequency adjustment capability.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F21184DSP#U0 | Same ROM/RAM, identical peripherals, but rated -40°C to +85°C with D suffix - same package and pinout | No functional difference; intended for same industrial use cases requiring extended temperature validation | Select R5F21184DSP#U0 if full D-grade qualification documentation (e.g., AEC-Q200 alignment) is contractually required |
| R5F21194DD#U0 | Includes 2 KB data flash (1 KB ×2 blocks); otherwise identical package, peripherals, and speed | Enables in-field firmware updates and parameter storage - unsuitable where data flash is unnecessary or security-sensitive | Choose R5F21194DD#U0 only when runtime reprogramming or nonvolatile configuration storage is mandatory |
Compared with R5F21184DD#U0, R5F21184DSP#U0 offers identical functionality with formal D-grade certification, while R5F21194DD#U0 adds data flash at the cost of reduced program flash endurance - making R5F21184DD#U0 optimal for fixed-function, cost-sensitive industrial control.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F21184DD#U0?
The R5F21184DD#U0 supports a maximum external clock frequency of 20 MHz (XIN), achieving a 50 ns minimum instruction execution time at VCC = 3.0–5.5 V. Its internal high-speed oscillator is adjustable but rated up to 10 MHz - making the 20 MHz crystal option optimal for performance-critical timing tasks in the R5F21184DD#U0.
Does the R5F21184DD#U0 include data flash memory?
No, the R5F21184DD#U0 belongs to the R8C/18 Group and contains only program flash ROM (16 KB). It lacks the 2 KB data flash found in R8C/19 Group variants like R5F21194DD#U0. This means the R5F21184DD#U0 cannot store runtime-configurable parameters or perform in-application firmware updates without external memory.
What package type is used for the R5F21184DD#U0?
The R5F21184DD#U0 is packaged in a 20-pin molded-plastic SDIP (PRDP0020BA-A), a through-hole package with 300 mil body width and 0.65 mm lead pitch. This package is distinct from the LSSOP (PLSP0020JB-A) and HWQFN (PWQN0028KA-B) options offered for other R8C/18 variants - confirming the R5F21184DD#U0's compatibility with legacy wave-solder assembly lines.
What is the operating temperature range for the R5F21184DD#U0?
The R5F21184DD#U0 is rated for -40°C to +85°C ambient operation (D-grade), validated per Renesas' "Standard" quality classification. This extended range supports deployment in uncontrolled industrial enclosures, outdoor kiosks, and HVAC systems - unlike non-D variants limited to -20°C to +85°C, making the R5F21184DD#U0 suitable for harsher thermal environments.
How many interrupt sources does the R5F21184DD#U0 support?
The R5F21184DD#U0 supports 18 total interrupt sources: 10 internal (e.g., timer overflow, UART receive), 4 external (INT0–INT3), and 4 software interrupts. These are managed across 7 priority levels in the FLG register's IPL bits - enabling deterministic response to time-critical events such as motor commutation edges or keypad presses in the R5F21184DD#U0.
