Product details
Overview
R5F21284JSP#U0 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit single-chip microcontroller in the R8C/28 Group, featuring an R8C CPU core, 16 KB flash program memory, 1 KB RAM, and operation at up to 20 MHz (50 ns min instruction time). It integrates UART0/UART1, I²C bus interface, LIN module, 10-bit 4-channel ADC, three 8-/16-bit timers, and operates across –40°C to +85°C for industrial control and appliance applications.
For engineers reviewing the R5F21284JSP#U0 datasheet, R5F21284JSP#U0 pinout, R5F21284JSP#U0 application, or R5F21284JSP#U0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its LSSOP-20 package, J-version temperature grade, absence of on-chip data flash (distinguishing it from R8C/29 Group), and support for hardware LIN via Timer RA and UART0.
Technical Context
The R5F21284JSP#U0 implements the R8C CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions and a 20-bit address space supporting 1 Mbyte addressing. Its clock system includes XIN/XOUT crystal oscillator input, high-speed/low-speed on-chip oscillators (with frequency adjustment), and supports wait/stop low-power modes down to 0.7 µA.
Peripheral integration centers on dual UARTs (one supporting LIN physical layer), I²C bus interface, 10-bit A/D converter with four analog inputs (AN8–AN11), and timer subsystem comprising Timer RA/RB (8-bit), Timer RC (16-bit with input capture/output compare), and Timer RE (real-time clock with compare match function only in J/K versions).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | R8C 16-bit CISC core with 89 instructions and 20-bit PC; enables compact code and deterministic real-time execution. |
| Flash Memory | 16 KB program ROM; sufficient for mid-complexity firmware with bootloader and application logic in single-chip solution. |
| RAM | 1 KB internal RAM; supports stack, variables, and small buffers without external memory expansion. |
| Max Clock Speed | 20 MHz (50 ns min instruction time at VCC = 3.0–5.5 V); delivers ~10 MIPS throughput for responsive control loops. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C (J version); qualified for industrial environments including motor drives and HVAC controls. |
| A/D Converter | 10-bit resolution, 4-channel SAR ADC; enables precise sensor monitoring (e.g., temperature, voltage, current) with internal reference. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 5.5 V; compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V system rails without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-pin molded-plastic LSSOP (PLSP0020JB-A), 0.65 mm pitch, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit MCU applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F21284SDSP | D version: identical peripherals and memory, but rated –40°C to +85°C with same LSSOP-20 package and pinout. | No functional difference; D version has broader qualification documentation for industrial use cases. | Select R5F21284SDSP if formal industrial qualification evidence (e.g., AEC-Q100 not required, but extended test reports) is mandated by procurement policy. |
| R5F21294JSP | R8C/29 Group part with identical 16 KB program ROM, 1 KB RAM, and J-temp grade, but adds 2 KB on-chip data flash (1 KB × 2 blocks). | Enables field firmware updates and parameter storage without external EEPROM; increases program memory endurance to 10,000 write cycles for data regions. | Choose R5F21294JSP when non-volatile data logging or over-the-air update capability is required; otherwise R5F21284JSP#U0 offers lower cost and simpler memory management. |
Compared with R5F21284SDSP, R5F21284JSP#U0 shares identical electrical and functional specs but reflects Renesas' J-version marking convention for the same industrial temperature grade; versus R5F21294JSP, it omits data flash-reducing cost and complexity where persistent data storage is handled externally or not needed.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F21284JSP#U0?
The R5F21284JSP#U0 supports a maximum operating frequency of 20 MHz when powered at VCC = 3.0 V to 5.5 V, achieving a minimum instruction execution time of 50 ns. This frequency is enabled by the external crystal oscillator connected to XIN/XOUT pins or the high-speed on-chip oscillator. The device maintains full functionality-including all peripherals and ADC-within this specification.
Does the R5F21284JSP#U0 include on-chip data flash memory?
No, the R5F21284JSP#U0 belongs to the R8C/28 Group and contains only 16 KB of program flash memory with no dedicated data flash. Unlike the R8C/29 Group (e.g., R5F21294JSP), it lacks the 1 KB × 2 on-chip data flash blocks. Data retention must be implemented externally or via emulated EEPROM in program flash with wear-leveling.
Which communication interfaces are supported by the R5F21284JSP#U0?
The R5F21284JSP#U0 supports UART0, UART1, I²C bus interface, clock synchronous serial I/O with chip select (SSI), and hardware LIN (via Timer RA and UART0). It does not support SPI or CAN. UART0 is configurable for LIN physical layer compliance, while I²C enables connection to sensors and EEPROMs at standard-mode (100 kHz) speeds.
What is the operating temperature range specified for the R5F21284JSP#U0?
The R5F21284JSP#U0 is rated for an operating ambient temperature range of –40°C to +85°C, corresponding to the "J version" designation in its part number. This qualifies it for industrial-grade applications such as motor control, HVAC systems, and factory automation equipment where extended thermal performance is required.
Is the R5F21284JSP#U0 pin-compatible with other R8C/28 Group MCUs in the same package?
Yes, the R5F21284JSP#U0 is pin-compatible with all other R8C/28 Group devices in the PLSP0020JB-A (LSSOP-20) package, including R5F21282JSP, R5F21286JSP, and R5F21284SDSP. Pin functions, electrical characteristics, and peripheral mappings are identical; only memory size (8/16/32 KB flash) and temperature grade (J vs. D) differ between variants.
