Product details
Overview
R5F211B2SP#U0 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit single-chip microcontroller in the R8C/1B Group, featuring an embedded R8C/Tiny Series CPU core, 8 KB flash program memory, 1 KB × 2 data flash ROM, 512 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 - deployed in consumer appliance control and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the R5F211B2SP#U0 datasheet, R5F211B2SP#U0 pinout, R5F211B2SP#U0 application, or R5F211B2SP#U0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin LSSOP package (PLSP0020JB-A), -20°C to +85°C ambient rating, on-chip voltage detection and power-on reset, and dual on-chip oscillators with frequency adjustment capability.
Technical Context
The R5F211B2SP#U0 implements the R8C/Tiny Series CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions and 1 Mbyte address space. Its memory subsystem includes 8 KB flash program ROM and two independent 1 KB data flash blocks - enabling field-updatable configuration storage without external EEPROM.
Peripherals are tightly coupled to the CPU via dedicated interrupt vectors (11 internal, 4 external, 4 software sources) and 7 priority levels. Clock generation uses dual circuits: main crystal/ceramic resonator oscillator (XIN/XOUT) and high-speed/low-speed on-chip oscillators - the former supporting oscillation stop detection, the latter offering adjustable frequency.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding instruction execution time for R5F211B2SP#U0?
The R5F211B2SP#U0 operates at up to 20 MHz with a minimum instruction execution time of 50 ns under VCC = 3.0–5.5 V conditions. This timing assumes use of the main crystal oscillator (XIN/XOUT) and reflects worst-case cycle count for fundamental instructions - enabling deterministic real-time response in motor control and sensor sampling loops.
Does R5F211B2SP#U0 support in-system programming of its data flash memory?
Yes, the R5F211B2SP#U0 supports in-system programming of its 1 KB × 2 data flash blocks using standard VCC (2.7–5.5 V) - no external high-voltage programmer required. Firmware can reprogram calibration data or configuration parameters during normal operation, subject to 10,000-cycle endurance limits per block.
What are the key differences between R5F211B2SP#U0 and R5F211A2SP?
The R5F211B2SP#U0 includes 1 KB × 2 on-chip data flash ROM, while the R5F211A2SP has no data flash. All other specifications - CPU core, peripherals, pinout, and package - are identical. This makes R5F211B2SP#U0 suitable for applications requiring field-updatable nonvolatile storage without external components.
Which package type and pin count does R5F211B2SP#U0 use?
The R5F211B2SP#U0 uses a 20-pin molded-plastic LSSOP package (PLSP0020JB-A) with 0.65 mm lead pitch. This surface-mount package supports automated assembly and provides thermal and electrical characteristics aligned with the R8C/1B Group's industrial qualification standards.
Can R5F211B2SP#U0 operate from a single 3.3 V supply, and what are the implications for analog performance?
Yes, the R5F211B2SP#U0 operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, including 3.3 V nominal supply. At 3.3 V, the 10-bit A/D converter maintains full resolution when VREF is externally set to 3.3 V or internally derived from AVCC - ensuring accurate analog measurements without scaling loss in 3.3 V systems.
