Product details
Overview
R5F211A2DSP#U0 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit single-chip microcontroller in the R8C/1A Group, featuring an R8C/Tiny Series CPU core, 8 KB flash program memory, 512 bytes RAM, and operation across -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. It integrates a 10-bit 4-channel A/D converter, three timers (8-bit ×2, 16-bit ×1), UART, clock-synchronous serial I/O, I²C bus interface, and LED drive capability on 4 I/O pins - deployed in consumer appliance control and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the R5F211A2DSP#U0 datasheet, R5F211A2DSP#U0 pinout, R5F211A2DSP#U0 application, or R5F211A2DSP#U0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its LSSOP-20 package with 13 general-purpose I/O pins, 2.7–5.5 V supply range, sub-1 µA stop-mode current, and absence of on-chip data flash (distinguishing it from R8C/1B variants).
Technical Context
This MCU implements the R8C/Tiny 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 spans 1 Mbyte, supporting single-chip operation without external bus expansion.
Peripheral integration includes dual clock generation circuits (main crystal oscillator + high-/low-speed on-chip oscillators), on-chip voltage detection and power-on reset, and interrupt support with 7 priority levels covering 11 internal, 4 external, and 4 software sources.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F211A2DD | Same core, memory, and peripherals; SDIP-20 package instead of LSSOP-20 | Better suited for through-hole prototyping or legacy PCBs requiring DIP footprint | Select when manual assembly, socket-based testing, or thermal mass requirements favor SDIP over LSSOP |
| R5F211B2DSP | Adds 2 KB data flash (1 KB ×2 blocks); otherwise identical pinout and peripheral set | Required for field-upgradable calibration tables or nonvolatile configuration storage | Choose only if runtime reprogramming of parameter sets is mandatory - adds cost and complexity without benefit otherwise |
Compared with R5F211A2DSP#U0, R5F211A2DD offers identical functionality in a through-hole package for easier evaluation, while R5F211B2DSP provides data flash for persistent parameter storage - neither is pin-compatible replacement without verifying flash-related code dependencies.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F211A2DSP#U0?
The R5F211A2DSP#U0 supports a maximum main clock frequency of 20 MHz when powered at 3.0–5.5 V, delivering a minimum instruction execution time of 50 ns. This timing is validated for stable operation across its full specified temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), enabling deterministic real-time response in motor control loops or sensor polling routines using the R5F211A2DSP#U0.
Does the R5F211A2DSP#U0 include on-chip data flash memory?
No, the R5F211A2DSP#U0 belongs to the R8C/1A Group and contains only program flash memory (8 KB). It does not integrate data flash - unlike the R8C/1B Group (e.g., R5F211B2DSP), which provides 1 KB ×2 data flash blocks. Applications requiring runtime writable nonvolatile storage must implement external EEPROM or select an R8C/1B variant instead of the R5F211A2DSP#U0.
Which package type is used by the R5F211A2DSP#U0?
The R5F211A2DSP#U0 uses the PLSP0020JB-A package: a 20-pin molded-plastic LSSOP (lead shrink small outline package) with 0.65 mm lead pitch. This surface-mount package is RoHS-compliant and optimized for automated assembly in space-constrained applications such as smart appliance control boards where the R5F211A2DSP#U0 is commonly deployed.
Can the R5F211A2DSP#U0 operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the R5F211A2DSP#U0 operates reliably from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, fully supporting standard 3.3 V system rails. At 3.0 V and 10 MHz operation, typical current consumption is 5 mA (A/D stopped), and stop-mode current drops to 0.7 µA - making the R5F211A2DSP#U0 suitable for mixed-voltage designs where other peripherals run at 3.3 V.
What communication interfaces are integrated into the R5F211A2DSP#U0?
The R5F211A2DSP#U0 integrates three serial interfaces: one UART channel (TXD0/RXD0), one clock-synchronous serial I/O (SSI00/SSI01), and one I²C bus interface (SCL/SDA). These enable flexible connectivity to displays, sensors, and host processors - all accessible within its 20-pin LSSOP footprint without external transceivers, simplifying design around the R5F211A2DSP#U0.
