Product details
Overview
R5F211B1DSP#U0 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit single-chip microcontroller in the R8C/1B Group, featuring an embedded R8C/Tiny Series CPU core, 4 KB program flash ROM, 1 KB × 2 data flash memory, 384 bytes RAM, and operating at up to 20 MHz (50 ns min instruction time). It integrates a 10-bit 4-channel A/D converter, three timers (8-bit ×2, 16-bit ×1), UART, I²C bus interface, SSU, and LED drive ports. It targets cost-sensitive industrial control and sensor interface applications requiring nonvolatile data storage.
For engineers reviewing the R5F211B1DSP#U0 datasheet, R5F211B1DSP#U0 pinout, R5F211B1DSP#U0 application, or R5F211B1DSP#U0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade, LSSOP-20 package with verified 20-pin PLSP0020JB-A mapping, on-chip data flash endurance (10,000 write/erase cycles), and integrated voltage detection and power-on reset circuits.
Technical Context
The R5F211B1DSP#U0 implements the R8C/Tiny CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions and a 1 Mbyte linear address space. Its dual clock system includes a main crystal/resonator oscillator (XIN/XOUT) and a high-speed on-chip oscillator with frequency adjustment, plus low-speed on-chip oscillator for stop-mode operation.
Peripheral integration centers on mixed-signal control: four analog inputs (AN8–AN11) feed a 10-bit A/D converter; Timer C provides input capture/output compare; and dual serial interfaces support both UART and I²C protocols - all managed via a 7-level priority interrupt controller with 11 internal, 4 external, and 4 software sources.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F211B1DSP#U0?
The R5F211B1DSP#U0 supports a maximum main clock frequency of 20 MHz at VCC = 3.0–5.5 V, delivering a minimum instruction execution time of 50 ns. This timing is validated under full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and applies when using either the external crystal/resonator or the high-speed on-chip oscillator with frequency adjustment enabled.
Does the R5F211B1DSP#U0 include on-chip debug support?
Yes, the R5F211B1DSP#U0 supports on-chip debugging via the single-wire background debug mode (BDM) interface using the dedicated RESET pin. This allows full breakpoint, step-through, and memory inspection capabilities without requiring additional pins or external JTAG hardware - essential for rapid firmware development and field diagnostics.
What is the endurance specification for the data flash in the R5F211B1DSP#U0?
The data flash memory in the R5F211B1DSP#U0 is rated for 10,000 write/erase cycles per block (1 KB × 2 blocks), as specified in the official Renesas documentation. This endurance enables reliable storage of calibration data, device configuration, or usage logs in applications where parameters must survive frequent updates across years of operation.
Can the R5F211B1DSP#U0 operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the R5F211B1DSP#U0 operates across a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V, fully supporting 3.3 V nominal systems. At 3.0 V and 10 MHz, typical active current is 5 mA (with A/D stopped); at 3.0 V in stop mode, current drops to 0.7 µA - confirming robust low-voltage functionality for modern 3.3 V designs.
Which package type corresponds to the R5F211B1DSP#U0 part number suffix?
The "SP" suffix in R5F211B1DSP#U0 denotes the 20-pin molded-plastic LSSOP package (PLSP0020JB-A). This package has a 0.65 mm lead pitch, gull-wing leads, and is RoHS-compliant. The "D" in the part number indicates the -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade, confirmed in Table 1.4 of the Renesas R8C/1B Group datasheet.
