Product details
Overview
R5F2123CKFP#U0 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit R8C/23 Group microcontroller with 128 KB program flash, 6 KB RAM, and embedded 2×1 KB data flash. It features a CAN 2.0B module (16-message buffer), 10-bit 12-channel ADC, hardware LIN interface, and operates across -40°C to 85°C in automotive and industrial networking applications.
For engineers reviewing the R5F2123CKFP#U0 datasheet, R5F2123CKFP#U0 pinout, R5F2123CKFP#U0 application, or R5F2123CKFP#U0 equivalent, this MCU delivers deterministic real-time control with dual UARTs, I²C, clock-synchronous serial I/O, and on-chip oscillators supporting 10–20 MHz operation - critical for in-vehicle body control and factory automation nodes.
Technical Context
The R5F2123CKFP#U0 implements the R8C CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions and executes at 50 ns minimum instruction time (20 MHz XIN, 3.0–5.5 V). Its memory architecture includes 1 Mbyte address space, fixed interrupt vector table at 0FFDCh–0FFFFh, and dedicated SFR areas for CAN (01300h–0147Fh) and peripheral control.
Peripheral integration centers on deterministic timing: Timer RD (16-bit × 2 channels) supports input capture/output compare; Timer RE provides divided clock output; and the CAN module uses dedicated message buffers with full 2.0B compliance - enabling robust communication without host CPU intervention.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F2123CKFP#U0?
The R5F2123CKFP#U0 supports a maximum external crystal frequency of 20 MHz, achieving a 50 ns minimum instruction execution time under 3.0–5.5 V supply conditions. Its on-chip high-speed oscillator is adjustable from 1 MHz to 20 MHz, and the device also integrates a 32 kHz low-speed oscillator for standby timing.
Does the R5F2123CKFP#U0 include hardware CAN and LIN interfaces?
Yes, the R5F2123CKFP#U0 integrates one fully compliant CAN 2.0B module with 16 message buffers and a hardware LIN module implemented using UART0 and Timer RA. This eliminates external transceivers for basic LIN slave functionality and enables robust, low-latency CAN communication without CPU overhead.
What type and capacity of embedded memory does the R5F2123CKFP#U0 provide?
The R5F2123CKFP#U0 contains 128 KB of on-chip program flash memory, 6 KB of RAM, and two independent 1 KB data flash blocks. The data flash supports 10,000 write/erase cycles and is intended for storing calibration data, configuration parameters, or firmware update images - distinct from program flash rated for 1,000 cycles.
What is the operating temperature range for the R5F2123CKFP#U0?
The R5F2123CKFP#U0 is specified for operation from -40°C to +85°C (J version). An optional K version extends the range to -40°C to +125°C. The device includes on-chip voltage detection and oscillation stop detection circuits to ensure reliable behavior across its full rated temperature envelope.
Is the R5F2123CKFP#U0 pin-compatible with other R8C/23 Group MCUs?
Yes, all R8C/23 Group MCUs, including R5F2123CKFP#U0, share the identical 48-pin LQFP (PLQP0048KB-A) package and pin assignment. Memory size variations (e.g., R5F2123AKFP vs. R5F2123CKFP#U0) do not affect pin function mapping, enabling drop-in replacement within the same group for code-size optimization.
