Product details
Overview
R5F211B4SP#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 R5F211B4SP#U0 datasheet, R5F211B4SP#U0 pinout, R5F211B4SP#U0 application, or R5F211B4SP#U0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin LSSOP package (PLSP0020JB-A), -20°C to +85°C operating range, on-chip voltage detection and power-on reset, and dual data flash for reliable parameter storage in field-upgradable systems.
Technical Context
The R5F211B4SP#U0 implements the R8C/Tiny Series CPU with 89 fundamental instructions and a 1 Mbyte linear address space. Its memory subsystem includes 16 KB of reprogrammable flash 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 internal reference input (VREF), three timers supporting input capture/output compare (Timer C) and LED drive (Timers X/Z), and dual serial interfaces-one UART plus one configurable channel supporting I²C bus, SSU, or clock-synchronous serial I/O.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F211B4DD | Same core, memory, and peripherals; packaged in 20-pin SDIP (PRDP0020BA-A) instead of LSSOP | Through-hole assembly preferred; wider temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) | Select for legacy through-hole production or extended industrial temp requirements |
| R5F211B4NP | Same specifications; housed in 28-pin HWQFN (PWQN0028KA-B) with additional GPIO and NC pins | Higher I/O count needed; space-constrained designs requiring fine-pitch QFN | Choose when extra I/O or thermal performance justifies larger footprint and reflow process |
Compared with R5F211B4SP#U0, R5F211B4DD offers through-hole mounting and extended temperature rating but lacks LSSOP's compactness, while R5F211B4NP provides more GPIO and better thermal dissipation at the cost of increased board area and assembly complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding supply voltage range for R5F211B4SP#U0?
R5F211B4SP#U0 supports a maximum operating frequency of 20 MHz at VCC = 3.0–5.5 V. At lower frequencies (e.g., 10 MHz), it operates down to 2.7 V. This dual-voltage/frequency specification allows design flexibility across battery-powered and line-powered applications while maintaining deterministic 50 ns minimum instruction execution time at full speed.
Does R5F211B4SP#U0 include hardware support for I²C communication?
Yes, R5F211B4SP#U0 includes a dedicated hardware I²C bus interface on pins P3_4 (SDA) and P3_5 (SCL), supporting both master and slave modes with clock stretching. This eliminates bit-banging overhead and ensures robust, standards-compliant communication with sensors, EEPROMs, and other I²C peripherals without CPU intervention.
How many data flash blocks does R5F211B4SP#U0 have, and what is their endurance rating?
R5F211B4SP#U0 contains two independent 1 KB data flash blocks, each rated for 10,000 erase/write cycles. This architecture enables safe storage of calibration data, device configuration, or usage logs with built-in wear-leveling strategies-critical for field-deployed equipment requiring long-term reliability without external nonvolatile memory.
What package type and pin count does R5F211B4SP#U0 use?
R5F211B4SP#U0 uses a 20-pin molded-plastic LSSOP package (PLSP0020JB-A) with 0.65 mm lead pitch. This surface-mount package provides compact board area, compatibility with standard reflow processes, and mechanical stability for high-volume consumer electronics manufacturing.
Can R5F211B4SP#U0 operate in ultra-low-power modes, and what are the typical current draws?
Yes, R5F211B4SP#U0 supports multiple low-power states: wait mode draws 35 µA (VCC = 3.0 V, peripheral clocks off), and stop mode draws just 0.7 µA (VCC = 3.0 V). These modes retain RAM content and allow wake-up via interrupts, making R5F211B4SP#U0 suitable for battery-operated sensor nodes requiring multi-year operational life.
