Product details
Overview
R5F21217KFP from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit R8C/21 Group microcontroller featuring the R8C CPU core, 48 KB program ROM, 2.5 KB RAM, and dual 1 KB data flash blocks. It operates at up to 20 MHz (VCC = 3.0–5.5 V), supports LIN bus via hardware module (Timer RA + UART0), and integrates a 10-bit 12-channel ADC for automotive sensor interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the R5F21217KFP datasheet, R5F21217KFP pinout, R5F21217KFP application, or R5F21217KFP equivalent, this MCU delivers deterministic real-time control in constrained-temperature industrial and automotive subsystems where embedded flash reprogrammability, LIN compliance, and analog sensing are required.
Technical Context
The R5F21217KFP 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 48 KB program ROM and two independent 1 KB data flash blocks-enabling simultaneous code execution and nonvolatile parameter storage without interrupting operation.
Peripheral integration centers on deterministic timing: Timer RD provides two 16-bit channels with input capture/output compare, while hardware LIN support combines UART0 and Timer RA for ISO 9141-2 and SAE J2602-compliant communication. The 10-bit ADC features 12 analog inputs with internal reference voltage support (VREF pin).

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F21217KFP?
The R5F21217KFP supports a maximum operating frequency of 20 MHz when powered at VCC = 3.0–5.5 V. At this speed, the minimum instruction execution time is 50 ns. Operation at 16 MHz is also supported per the K-version specification, with corresponding current consumption and timing characteristics documented in the Renesas R8C/21 Group hardware manual.
Does the R5F21217KFP include hardware LIN support?
Yes, the R5F21217KFP integrates a dedicated hardware LIN module combining UART0 and Timer RA to implement ISO 9141-2 and SAE J2602 physical layer timing. This eliminates software UART overhead and guarantees accurate 10.4 kbps baud rate generation independent of CPU load or interrupt latency.
How many data flash blocks does the R5F21217KFP have, and what is their endurance?
The R5F21217KFP contains two independent 1 KB data flash blocks (Block A and Block B), each rated for 10,000 write/erase cycles. This enables reliable storage of calibration data, device configuration, or firmware update metadata without requiring external nonvolatile memory.
What is the ADC resolution and channel count on the R5F21217KFP?
The R5F21217KFP features a single 10-bit successive-approximation ADC with 12 analog input channels (AN0–AN11). Inputs can be selected via software-controlled multiplexer, and conversions may be triggered by software, timer events, or external signals-supporting flexible sensor acquisition strategies.
Is the R5F21217KFP pin-compatible with other R8C/21 Group MCUs?
Yes, all R8C/21 Group MCUs-including R5F21217KFP-use the identical 48-pin LQFP package (PLQP0048KB-A) and share the same pin assignments and electrical characteristics. This allows direct substitution between variants (e.g., R5F21216KFP, R5F21218KFP) when memory or peripheral requirements change.
