Product details
Overview
R5F211B4DSP#U0 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit single-chip microcontroller in the R8C/1B Group, featuring an R8C/Tiny Series CPU core, 16 KB program flash ROM, 1 KB RAM, and dual 1 KB data flash blocks. It operates at up to 20 MHz (50 ns min instruction time), supports 10-bit A/D conversion across 4 channels, and integrates UART, I²C, clock-synchronous serial I/O, and three timer modules (8-bit ×2, 16-bit ×1). It targets embedded control in consumer appliances and industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the R5F211B4DSP#U0 datasheet, R5F211B4DSP#U0 pinout, R5F211B4DSP#U0 application, or R5F211B4DSP#U0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40°C to +85°C operating range (D version), LSSOP-20 package (PLSP0020JB-A), on-chip voltage detection and power-on reset, and dual data flash for reliable parameter storage in field-upgradable systems.
Technical Context
The R5F211B4DSP#U0 implements the R8C/Tiny Series 16-bit CPU with 89 fundamental instructions and a 1 Mbyte linear address space. Its memory subsystem includes 16 KB of flash-programmable program ROM and two independent 1 KB data flash blocks rated for 10,000 erase/write cycles-enabling nonvolatile configuration storage without external EEPROM.
Peripheral integration centers on mixed-signal control: a 10-bit 4-channel A/D converter with VREF input, three timers (Timer X/Z for basic timing, Timer C for input capture/output compare), and dual serial interfaces-one combining UART and clock-synchronous I/O, the other supporting I²C bus or SSU protocols. All operate under a dual-clock system with main crystal/resonator and adjustable high-speed on-chip oscillator.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F211B4SP | No extended temperature grade; rated -20°C to +85°C vs. R5F211B4DSP#U0's -40°C to +85°C | Suitable for indoor consumer electronics but not automotive or industrial enclosures with wide thermal swings | Select R5F211B4SP only if ambient temperature remains above -20°C; otherwise R5F211B4DSP#U0 ensures reliability in cold environments. |
| R5F211B4DD | Same D-grade temp range but SDIP-20 package (PRDP0020BA-A) instead of LSSOP | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy wave-solder assembly; larger footprint and higher profile than LSSOP | Choose R5F211B4DD for manual assembly or compatibility with existing SDIP footprints; R5F211B4DSP#U0 suits modern SMT production. |
