Product details
Overview
R5F211B3SP#U0 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit single-chip microcontroller in the R8C/1B Group, featuring an R8C/Tiny Series CPU core, 12 KB program flash ROM, 1 KB × 2 data flash memory, 768 bytes RAM, and operating at up to 20 MHz (50 ns min. instruction time). It integrates 10-bit A/D conversion (4 channels), three timers (8-bit ×2, 16-bit ×1), UART, I²C bus interface, and LED drive capability. It targets cost-sensitive embedded control in consumer appliances and industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the R5F211B3SP#U0 datasheet, R5F211B3SP#U0 pinout, R5F211B3SP#U0 application, or R5F211B3SP#U0 equivalent, key selection considerations 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.
Technical Context
The R5F211B3SP#U0 implements the R8C/Tiny Series 16-bit CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions and 1 Mbyte address space. Its memory subsystem includes 12 KB of reprogrammable flash ROM and two independent 1 KB data flash blocks-enabling nonvolatile parameter storage with 10,000 erase/write cycles-alongside 768 bytes of SRAM.
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 supporting UART or clock-synchronous I/O, the other dedicated to I²C bus communication-plus integrated LED drive ports on P1_0–P1_3.
