Product details
Overview
R5F211B1SP#W4 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit single-chip microcontroller in the R8C/1B Group, featuring an 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 ADC, dual UARTs, I²C bus interface, three timers (8-bit ×2, 16-bit ×1), and 13 general-purpose I/O pins - designed for embedded control in cost-sensitive consumer and industrial appliances.
For engineers reviewing the R5F211B1SP#W4 datasheet, R5F211B1SP#W4 pinout, R5F211B1SP#W4 application, or R5F211B1SP#W4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its LSSOP-20 package, -20°C to +85°C ambient rating, on-chip voltage detection and power-on reset, and dual data flash blocks enabling reliable parameter storage without external EEPROM.
Technical Context
The R5F211B1SP#W4 implements the R8C/Tiny Series 16-bit CPU with 89 fundamental instructions and a 1 Mbyte linear address space. Its memory subsystem includes separate program flash (4 KB) and dual-block data flash (1 KB × 2), each with distinct endurance ratings (1,000 and 10,000 erase/write cycles respectively).
Peripheral integration centers on mixed-signal control: a 10-bit A/D converter with four analog inputs (AN8–AN11), two independent serial interfaces supporting UART, clock-synchronous I/O, and I²C, plus timer resources including input capture/output compare (Timer C) and LED drive-capable I/O ports (P1_0–P1_3).

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding supply voltage range for R5F211B1SP#W4?
R5F211B1SP#W4 operates at up to 20 MHz with a supply voltage of 3.0 V to 5.5 V. At 10 MHz, it supports a wider range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V. This dual-voltage/frequency specification allows flexible use in both 3.3 V and 5 V system designs without compromising performance or reliability.
Does R5F211B1SP#W4 include on-chip reset and voltage monitoring functions?
Yes, R5F211B1SP#W4 integrates both a power-on reset (POR) circuit and a voltage detection circuit. These features ensure deterministic initialization and brown-out protection without requiring external supervisor ICs - simplifying design and improving system robustness in variable supply environments.
How many analog input channels does the 10-bit A/D converter in R5F211B1SP#W4 support, and what are their pin assignments?
The R5F211B1SP#W4 includes a single 10-bit A/D converter with four analog input channels: AN8 (P1_0), AN9 (P1_1), AN10 (P1_2), and AN11 (P1_3). Each channel maps directly to a dedicated pin, and the VREF pin allows external reference voltage selection for precise measurement scaling.
Can R5F211B1SP#W4 execute code from data flash memory?
No, R5F211B1SP#W4 executes code only from program flash ROM. The 2 KB data flash (1 KB × 2 blocks) is intended exclusively for non-volatile data storage - such as calibration coefficients, device IDs, or user settings - and cannot be used for instruction fetch.
Is R5F211B1SP#W4 pin-compatible with other members of the R8C/1B Group in the same package?
Yes, all R8C/1B Group devices in the PLSP0020JB-A (LSSOP-20) package - including R5F211B1SP#W4, R5F211B2SP, and R5F211B3SP - share identical pinouts and electrical characteristics. Firmware and hardware designs can scale across memory variants without PCB changes.
