Product details
Overview
R5F21284KSP#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 operating across -40°C to +125°C. It integrates UART0/UART1, I²C bus interface, LIN module, 10-bit 4-channel ADC, three 8-bit timers (RA/RB), one 16-bit timer (RC), real-time clock-capable Timer RE, and on-chip oscillators. It targets automotive body electronics and industrial control where extended temperature operation is required.
For engineers reviewing the R5F21284KSP#U0 datasheet, R5F21284KSP#U0 pinout, R5F21284KSP#U0 application, or R5F21284KSP#U0 equivalent, key selection considerations include its K-version industrial-automotive temperature grade (-40°C to +125°C), absence of data flash (R8C/28 Group), 20-pin LSSOP package with confirmed pin functions including TRCIOA/TRCIOB for PWM and input capture, and compatibility with LIN physical layer via UART0 and Timer RA.
Technical Context
The R5F21284KSP#U0 implements the R8C CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions and executes at 50 ns minimum instruction time (20 MHz XIN, VCC = 3.0–5.5 V). Its memory map allocates 16 KB program ROM from 0C000h–0FFFFh and 1 KB RAM from 00400h–007FFh within a 1 Mbyte address space.
Peripheral integration includes dual UARTs (UART0 supports LIN hardware protocol with Timer RA), I²C bus interface, 10-bit 4-channel ADC with AN8–AN11 inputs, and four independent timer modules (RA/RB/RC/RE) supporting input capture, output compare, PWM, and real-time clock functions-though RTC functionality in Timer RE is limited to compare match only in K-version devices.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F21284SDSP | D-version (-40°C to +85°C); same 16 KB ROM/1 KB RAM; lacks K-version high-temp qualification | Suitable for under-dash automotive modules or industrial panels with active cooling | Select when ambient temperature remains ≤85°C and cost sensitivity outweighs extended thermal margin |
| R5F21294KSP | R8C/29 Group variant with 1 KB × 2 data flash; identical K-version temp grade and peripherals | Required when field-upgradable parameter storage (e.g., calibration offsets, device IDs) is needed | Choose when non-volatile data retention between power cycles is mandatory and 10,000-cycle endurance is acceptable |
Compared with R5F21284KSP#U0, the R5F21284SDSP offers lower-cost operation within standard automotive temperature limits, while the R5F21294KSP adds data flash for configuration storage-neither is pin-compatible nor drop-in; both require PCB layout verification due to identical PLSP0020JB-A package but distinct memory mapping and fuse settings.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by R5F21284KSP#U0?
The R5F21284KSP#U0 supports a maximum external crystal frequency of 20 MHz, achieving a minimum instruction execution time of 50 ns at VCC = 3.0–5.5 V. Its high-speed on-chip oscillator is adjustable but does not exceed the 20 MHz XIN limit. The K-version specification confirms this frequency is valid across the full -40°C to +125°C operating range, making R5F21284KSP#U0 suitable for timing-critical automotive subsystems.
Does R5F21284KSP#U0 include data flash memory?
No, R5F21284KSP#U0 belongs to the R8C/28 Group, which contains only program flash memory (16 KB) and no dedicated data flash. Data storage must be implemented in RAM with backup power or external EEPROM. In contrast, R8C/29 Group parts like R5F21294KSP integrate 1 KB × 2 data flash. This distinction is explicitly defined in Renesas documentation, and R5F21284KSP#U0's memory configuration is fixed per its product family assignment.
Which pins on R5F21284KSP#U0 support PWM output?
R5F21284KSP#U0 supports PWM generation on TRCIOA (P1_1), TRCIOB (P1_2), TRCIOC (P3_4), and TRCIOD (P3_5)-all four channels of Timer RC's output-compare function. These pins are configurable as open-drain or CMOS outputs and support variable-duty-cycle waveforms up to the timer's maximum frequency. TRAO (P3_7) and TRBO (P1_3) provide additional PWM-capable outputs from Timer RA and RB respectively, confirmed in the Pin Functions table of the official datasheet.
Can R5F21284KSP#U0 operate with a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, R5F21284KSP#U0 operates with VCC = 2.7 V to 5.5 V, fully supporting 3.3 V nominal supply. At 3.0 V, it achieves 10 MHz operation (100 ns min. instruction time) and 6 mA typical active current. All peripherals-including the 10-bit ADC, UARTs, and I²C interface-function correctly at 3.3 V, and the on-chip voltage detector maintains reset assertion during brown-out conditions down to 2.5 V.
Is the XCIN/XCOUT function available on R5F21284KSP#U0?
No, the XCIN/XCOUT 32 kHz crystal oscillator function is disabled in the K version of the R8C/28 Group, including R5F21284KSP#U0. This is explicitly noted in Tables 1.1 and 1.5 of the datasheet, which state "XCIN, XCOUT can be used only for N or D version." Real-time clock functionality must therefore rely on Timer RE's compare match capability driven by the main XIN oscillator or on-chip low-speed oscillator, not a 32 kHz external crystal.
