Product details
Overview
R5F211B4DSP#W4 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit single-chip microcontroller in the R8C/1B Group, featuring an R8C/Tiny Series CPU core, 16 KB flash program ROM, dual 1 KB data flash blocks, 1 KB RAM, and operation at up to 20 MHz (50 ns min instruction time). It integrates a 10-bit 4-channel ADC, three timers (8-bit ×2, 16-bit ×1), UART, clock-synchronous serial I/O, I²C bus interface, and LED drive ports. It targets compact embedded control in consumer appliances and industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the R5F211B4DSP#W4 datasheet, R5F211B4DSP#W4 pinout, R5F211B4DSP#W4 application, or R5F211B4DSP#W4 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-block data flash for reliable parameter storage in field-upgradable devices.
Technical Context
This MCU implements the R8C/Tiny Series CPU with 89 fundamental instructions and a 1 Mbyte linear address space. Its memory subsystem includes 16 KB of flash program ROM and two independent 1 KB data flash blocks-each rated for 10,000 erase/write cycles-enabling robust nonvolatile data logging and configuration retention.
The peripheral set supports 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 one configurable channel supporting clock-synchronous serial I/O, SSU, or I²C bus protocol.
