FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding supply voltage for R5F21266KFP#U0?
R5F21266KFP#U0 operates at up to 16 MHz with minimum instruction execution time of 62.5 ns, requiring VCC = 3.0–5.5 V. This K-version specification is validated across the full -40°C to +125°C ambient range, unlike N/D/J variants which support higher frequencies only at narrower temperature spans.
Does R5F21266KFP#U0 include hardware LIN support, and how is it implemented?
Yes, R5F21266KFP#U0 integrates a hardware LIN module using UART0 and Timer RA. This configuration enables full LIN 2.0/2.1 slave node functionality - including automatic sync-break detection, checksum calculation, and frame timing - without external logic or firmware overhead.
What are the key differences between R5F21266KFP#U0 and R5F21276KFP?
R5F21276KFP adds 2×1 KB on-chip data flash (10,000 write/erase cycles) while retaining identical 32 KB program ROM, 1.5 KB RAM, peripherals, package, and -40°C to +125°C rating. R5F21266KFP#U0 has no data flash, making it suitable for fixed-parameter applications where field updates are unnecessary.
Which pins on R5F21266KFP#U0 support analog input, and are they multiplexed with digital functions?
R5F21266KFP#U0 provides 12 dedicated analog input pins (AN0–AN11) mapped across P0, P1, and P3 ports. These pins are not shared with primary digital I/O functions - each ANx pin corresponds to a unique physical pin (e.g., AN0 = P0_7, AN8 = P1_0) with no functional overlap in default configuration.
Is an external crystal required for R5F21266KFP#U0 to operate, or does it include internal oscillators?
R5F21266KFP#U0 includes both high-speed and low-speed on-chip oscillators - eliminating the need for external crystals in many applications. The high-speed oscillator supports frequency adjustment and can drive the CPU directly; XIN/XOUT remains available for precision timing when external crystal/resonator is preferred.
