FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F21228KFP#U1?
The R5F21228KFP#U1 supports a maximum external crystal frequency of 20 MHz on the XIN/XOUT pins, enabling a minimum instruction execution time of 50 ns at VCC = 3.0–5.5 V. Its high-speed on-chip oscillator also operates up to 20 MHz with adjustable frequency trimming, providing flexibility for noise-sensitive environments where external crystals are undesirable. The R5F21228KFP#U1 maintains full functionality across its specified -40°C to +125°C range at this speed.
Does the R5F21228KFP#U1 include a hardware CAN controller?
Yes, the R5F21228KFP#U1 integrates a fully compliant CAN 2.0B controller with 16 message buffers, dedicated SFR address space (01300h–0147Fh), and independent CTX0/CRX0 pins. It supports bit rates up to 1 Mbps and includes automatic retransmission, error confinement, and acceptance filtering - all handled in hardware without CPU intervention. This makes the R5F21228KFP#U1 suitable for real-time automotive and industrial networks where deterministic latency is critical.
What is the difference between R5F21228KFP#U1 and R5F21238KFP#U0?
The R5F21228KFP#U1 belongs to the R8C/22 Group and contains 64 KB program flash only, while R5F21238KFP#U0 is an R8C/23 Group device with identical program flash (64 KB) plus 2×1 KB data flash blocks rated for 10,000 erase/write cycles. Both share the same 48-pin LQFP package, -40°C to +125°C rating, and peripheral set. The R5F21228KFP#U1 is selected when data retention requirements are met by external EEPROM or SRAM, simplifying firmware and reducing BOM cost.
Can the R5F21228KFP#U1 operate without an external crystal?
Yes, the R5F21228KFP#U1 includes a high-speed on-chip oscillator that can serve as the main system clock without requiring an external crystal or resonator. This oscillator supports frequencies up to 20 MHz and features software-adjustable frequency trimming for accuracy calibration. It is especially useful in cost-constrained or EMI-sensitive designs. However, for applications demanding highest timing precision (e.g., CAN bit timing at 1 Mbps), an external crystal on XIN/XOUT is recommended. The R5F21228KFP#U1 supports seamless switching between clock sources.
Is the R5F21228KFP#U1 pin-compatible with other R8C/22 Group MCUs?
Yes, all R8C/22 Group devices in the FP (48-pin LQFP) package - including R5F21226KFP#U0, R5F21227KFP#U0, and R5F21228KFP#U1 - share identical pin assignments, electrical characteristics, and package dimensions (PLQP0048KB-A). Memory size (32/48/64 KB) and RAM capacity (2/2.5/3 KB) vary across the family, but PCB layout, power delivery, and peripheral routing remain fully interchangeable. This enables scalable design reuse across performance tiers within the same hardware platform.
