Product details
Overview
R5F211B2SP#W4 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit single-chip microcontroller in the R8C/1B Group, featuring an R8C/Tiny Series CPU core, 8 KB flash program ROM, 1 KB × 2 data flash memory, 512 bytes RAM, and operation at up to 20 MHz (50 ns min instruction time). It integrates 10-bit A/D conversion (4 channels), UART, I²C bus interface, SSU, three timers (8-bit ×2, 16-bit ×1), and 13 I/O ports - deployed in consumer appliances, sensor-based housing systems, and portable industrial equipment.
For engineers reviewing the R5F211B2SP#W4 datasheet, R5F211B2SP#W4 pinout, R5F211B2SP#W4 application, or R5F211B2SP#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 on-chip oscillators with frequency adjustment capability.
Technical Context
The R5F211B2SP#W4 implements the R8C/Tiny Series CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions and a 1 Mbyte unified address space. Its memory subsystem includes 8 KB of reprogrammable flash program ROM and two independent 1 KB data flash blocks rated for 10,000 erase/write cycles - enabling reliable nonvolatile parameter storage without external EEPROM.
Peripheral integration centers on mixed-signal control: a 10-bit A/D converter with four analog inputs (AN8–AN11), three timer modules (Timer X/Z for basic timing, Timer C for input capture/output compare), and dual serial interfaces - one UART plus clock-synchronous I/O supporting both I²C bus and SSU protocols - all managed via shared pins with configurable alternate functions.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (P3_5) | I/O port / SCL / SSCK / CMP1_2 | Multi-function pin: I²C clock, SSU clock, or comparator output - requires software configuration and external pull-ups for I²C. |
| 2 (P3_7) | I/O port / TXD1 / SSO / CNTR0 | Serial data output (UART1), SSU data output, or Timer X counter input - selectable via peripheral enable registers. |
| 3 (RESET) | Active-low reset input | Asynchronous hardware reset; must be held low ≥100 ns to initiate full system reset sequence. |
| 4 (XOUT) | Main clock oscillator output | Drives external crystal/resonator; open when using external clock source applied to XIN. |
| 5 (VSS/AVSS) | Digital/analog ground | Common reference for logic and A/D circuits; requires separate low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 6 (XIN) | Main clock oscillator input | Accepts crystal (1–20 MHz), ceramic resonator, or external clock signal; internal feedback resistor enabled by default. |
| 7 (VCC/AVCC) | Digital/analog supply | Single 2.7–5.5 V rail powers core and A/D; AVCC must be decoupled with 0.1 µF capacitor near pin. |

| 13 (P1_4) | I/O port / TXD0 | UART0 transmit output only; driven high/low by UART module; not usable as general-purpose output without disabling UART. |
| 14 (P1_3) | I/O port / KI3 / TZOUT / AN11 | Key interrupt input, Timer Z output, or A/D channel 11 - function selected by peripheral enable and direction register settings. |
| 15 (P1_2) | I/O port / KI2 / CMP0_2 / AN10 | Supports keypad scanning, comparator output, or analog input - requires disabling conflicting peripherals before use. |
| 16 (VREF) | A/D reference voltage input | Accepts external reference (0–VCC) or internal VCC; sets full-scale range for 10-bit A/D conversion accuracy. |
| 17 (P1_1) | I/O port / KI1 / CMP0_1 / AN9 | Configurable for key scan, comparator, or analog sensing - shared functionality demands careful initialization sequence. |
| 18 (P1_0) | I/O port / KI0 / CMP0_0 / AN8 | Primary analog input (AN8) and key interrupt source; default LED drive capability supports direct segment driving. |
| 19 (P3_3) | I/O port / INT3 / TCIN / SSI00 / CMP1_0 | Timer C input capture, synchronous serial data, or comparator output - requires register-controlled function selection. |
