Product details
Overview
R5F2123AKFP#U0 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit R8C/23 Group microcontroller with CAN 2.0B interface, 96 KB program flash, 1 KB × 2 data flash, 5 KB RAM, and 12-channel 10-bit ADC - designed for automotive and industrial networking applications requiring embedded real-time control and fault-tolerant communication.
For engineers reviewing the R5F2123AKFP#U0 datasheet, R5F2123AKFP#U0 pinout, R5F2123AKFP#U0 application, or R5F2123AKFP#U0 equivalent, this MCU delivers deterministic timing via 89-instruction R8C core, dual on-chip oscillators (high-speed adjustable + low-speed), integrated LIN hardware module, and 48-pin LQFP package with dedicated CAN TX/RX pins and analog input multiplexing across P0_0–P0_7 and P1_0–P1_3.
Technical Context
The R5F2123AKFP#U0 implements the R8C CPU core with 20-bit address space (1 Mbyte), supporting single-chip operation and executing instructions in as little as 50 ns at 20 MHz. Its peripheral set includes Timer RA/RB (8-bit), Timer RD (16-bit × 2 with input capture/output compare), Timer RE (compare match), UART0/UART1, I²C bus interface (2 channels), hardware LIN (using Timer RA + UART0), and a 1-channel CAN 2.0B controller with 16 message slots.
Memory architecture separates 96 KB program ROM (flash) from 2 KB data flash (1 KB × 2 blocks) and 5 KB SRAM. Power management features include on-chip voltage detection, power-on reset, oscillation stop detection, and selectable watchdog timer reset start - all operating across −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range with VCC = 3.0–5.5 V.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F2123AJFP | Same R8C/23 Group, identical peripherals and pinout, but rated for −40°C to +85°C (J version) vs. R5F2123AKFP#U0's K version (−40°C to +125°C) | Not qualified for under-hood automotive use where extended temperature operation is required | Select R5F2123AJFP only if ambient temperature remains ≤85°C and cost optimization is prioritized over thermal margin |
| R5F2122AKFP | Same package and pinout, but belongs to R8C/22 Group - lacks 2 KB data flash (1 KB × 2); otherwise identical CPU, RAM, ADC, CAN, and peripherals | Cannot store calibrated sensor parameters or field-upgradable configuration data in on-chip nonvolatile memory | Choose R5F2122AKFP only when data logging or runtime parameter persistence is unnecessary and program flash suffices for all storage needs |

This eliminates software bit-banging, ensures accurate baud rate generation, and supports automatic header detection and checksum verification - all documented in the R8C/23 Group functional specification for R5F2123AKFP#U0.
How many CAN message buffers does R5F2123AKFP#U0 support, and are they configurable?
R5F2123AKFP#U0 provides 16 dedicated CAN message slots within its CAN module, each configurable for transmission or reception. Buffer allocation, identifier masking, and priority assignment are controlled via special function registers (SFRs) in the 01300h–0147Fh address range - fully detailed in the R8C/23 Group register description for R5F2123AKFP#U0.
What is the endurance rating of the data flash in R5F2123AKFP#U0?
The data flash in R5F2123AKFP#U0 is rated for 10,000 write/erase cycles per block (1 KB × 2 blocks), significantly exceeding the 1,000-cycle endurance of its program flash. This enables reliable storage of calibration data, device configuration, or field-upgrade parameters - a distinguishing specification confirmed in Table 1.2 of the R8C/23 Group datasheet for R5F2123AKFP#U0.
Is R5F2123AKFP#U0 pin-compatible with other R8C/23 Group members?
Yes, R5F2123AKFP#U0 shares the identical 48-pin LQFP (PLQP0048KB-A) package and pin assignment with all R8C/23 Group variants including R5F21236JFP through R5F2123CKFP.
