Product details
Overview
R5F21257SYFP#V2 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit single-chip microcontroller in the R8C/25 Group, featuring an R8C/Tiny Series CPU core, 48 KB flash program memory, 2.5 KB RAM, and dual 1 KB data flash blocks. It operates at up to 20 MHz (50 ns min. instruction time), supports 12-channel 10-bit A/D conversion, hardware LIN via UART0/timer RA, and real-time clock functionality in timer RE. It targets embedded control in consumer appliances requiring compact, low-power MCU solutions.
For engineers reviewing the R5F21257SYFP#V2 datasheet, R5F21257SYFP#V2 pinout, R5F21257SYFP#V2 application, or R5F21257SYFP#V2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its Y-version extended temperature range (−20°C to +105°C), on-chip data flash endurance (10,000 erase/write cycles), LIN bus support, and 52-pin LQFP (PLQP0052JA-A) package with 41 general-purpose I/O pins.
Technical Context
The R5F21257SYFP#V2 implements the R8C/Tiny CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions and a 1 Mbyte address space. Its peripheral set includes two UART channels, one I²C interface, one clock-synchronous serial I/O with chip select, eight 8-bit I/O ports (P0–P6), and four independent timers (RA, RB, RD×2, RE) supporting input capture, output compare, and RTC functions.
It integrates three clock generation circuits: XIN-based (20 MHz max), high-speed on-chip oscillator with frequency adjustment, and XCIN-based 32 kHz real-time clock circuit. Power management includes wait mode (2.0 µA @ 3.0 V, f(XCIN)=32 kHz) and stop mode (0.7 µA @ 3.0 V), with built-in power-on reset and voltage detection circuits.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F21257SYFP#V2?
The R5F21257SYFP#V2 supports a maximum operating frequency of 20 MHz when powered at VCC = 3.0–5.5 V, achieving a minimum instruction execution time of 50 ns. This frequency is enabled by the external crystal/resonator connected to XIN/XOUT or the internal high-speed oscillator with frequency adjustment capability.
Does the R5F21257SYFP#V2 include on-chip debug support?
Yes, the R5F21257SYFP#V2 supports on-chip debugging via the single-wire debug interface using the RESET pin. This allows full breakpoint, step-through, and register inspection capability without requiring additional debug pins - essential for rapid firmware validation in resource-constrained designs.
How many A/D input channels does the R5F21257SYFP#V2 support, and what is their resolution?
The R5F21257SYFP#V2 integrates a single 10-bit successive-approximation A/D converter with 12 analog input channels (AN0–AN11). Input voltage range is selectable between AVCC and external VREF, and conversions can be triggered by software, timer events, or external signals - enabling flexible sensor interfacing.
What is the purpose of the dual 1 KB data flash blocks in the R5F21257SYFP#V2?
The R5F21257SYFP#V2 includes two independent 1 KB data flash blocks to support robust non-volatile parameter storage. This architecture allows one block to be erased and rewritten while the other retains valid data - enabling atomic updates of calibration values, device settings, or usage logs without risk of corruption during power loss.
Is the R5F21257SYFP#V2 pin-compatible with other members of the R8C/25 Group?
Yes, all R8C/25 Group MCUs in the 52-pin LQFP package (PLQP0052JA-A), including R5F21257SYFP#V2, share identical pin assignments and electrical characteristics. Firmware and hardware designs can scale across memory variants (e.g., R5F21254–R5F21258) without layout changes - simplifying platform development and inventory management.
