Product details
Overview
R5F21217JFP from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit R8C/21 Group microcontroller featuring an R8C CPU core, 48 KB program flash ROM, 2.5 KB RAM, and dual 1 KB data flash blocks for nonvolatile parameter storage. It operates at up to 20 MHz (VCC = 3.0–5.5 V), integrates a 10-bit 12-channel ADC, hardware LIN module (using Timer RA and UART0), and supports automotive-grade ambient temperature range of −40°C to +85°C in a 48-pin LQFP package.
For engineers reviewing the R5F21217JFP datasheet, R5F21217JFP pinout, R5F21217JFP application, or R5F21217JFP equivalent, this MCU is selected for embedded control where on-chip data flash persistence, LIN bus compliance, and mixed-signal integration reduce external component count in cost-sensitive automotive body electronics and industrial sensor nodes.
Technical Context
The R5F21217JFP implements the R8C CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions and executes at 50 ns minimum instruction time (20 MHz, 3.0–5.5 V). Its memory architecture includes separate program ROM (48 KB) and dual-block data flash (1 KB × 2), enabling firmware updates and field-parameter retention without external EEPROM.
Peripheral integration centers on deterministic real-time control: Timer RD provides two 16-bit channels with input capture/output compare; UART0 and UART1 support asynchronous and clock-synchronous serial I/O; the hardware LIN module offloads protocol handling from CPU cycles; and the 10-bit ADC delivers 12 analog inputs with internal reference support via VREF pin.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F21217KFP | Same core, memory, and peripherals; rated for −40°C to +125°C ambient operation. | Required for engine bay or transmission-mounted modules exceeding 85°C junction temperature. | Select when extended temperature qualification is mandatory; otherwise R5F21217JFP suffices for cabin/body applications. |
| R5F21207JFP | R8C/20 Group variant: identical package and peripherals but lacks data flash (no 1 KB × 2 blocks). | Suitable only where nonvolatile parameter storage is handled externally or unnecessary. | Choose only if data flash is unused; R5F21217JFP provides superior field-serviceability with no PCB change. |
Compared with R5F21217KFP, the R5F21217JFP trades extended temperature rating for lower cost and same functionality in cabin environments; compared with R5F21207JFP, it adds critical data flash capability without altering pinout or firmware compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F21217JFP?
The R5F21217JFP supports a maximum operating frequency of 20 MHz when powered at VCC = 3.0–5.5 V. At this frequency, the minimum instruction execution time is 50 ns. Frequency scaling down to 10 MHz extends the allowable supply voltage range to 2.7–5.5 V, improving robustness in brown-out conditions. The on-chip high-speed oscillator can be adjusted across 1–20 MHz for fine-tuned timing control without external components.
Does the R5F21217JFP include hardware LIN support?
Yes, the R5F21217JFP integrates a dedicated hardware LIN module compliant with LIN 2.0 and 2.1 specifications. It uses UART0 for serial framing and Timer RA for accurate break field and synchronization field timing, offloading protocol handling from the CPU. This enables deterministic response times and reduced firmware complexity compared to software-implemented LIN stacks.
How much data flash memory does the R5F21217JFP provide?
The R5F21217JFP includes 2 KB of data flash memory organized as two independent 1 KB blocks. Each block supports 10,000 erase/write cycles and is electrically isolated from program flash, allowing safe runtime updates of calibration data, configuration parameters, or user preferences without risking firmware integrity.
What package type is used for the R5F21217JFP?
The R5F21217JFP is housed in a 48-pin plastic LQFP package designated PLQP0048KB-A. It measures 7 mm × 7 mm with 0.5 mm pin pitch and complies with JEDEC MS-026 standards. This package supports reflow soldering and provides adequate thermal dissipation for automotive under-dash applications.
Can the R5F21217JFP operate across the full automotive temperature range?
The R5F21217JFP is qualified for −40°C to +85°C ambient operating temperature, meeting requirements for cabin and body electronics applications. For under-hood use exceeding 85°C, the pin-compatible R5F21217KFP variant (−40°C to +125°C) must be selected. Both share identical electrical characteristics and firmware compatibility.
