Product details
Overview
R5F21284SNSP 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 20-pin LSSOP (PLSP0020JB-A) packaging. It delivers 50 ns minimum instruction execution at 20 MHz, integrates a 10-bit 4-channel ADC, dual UARTs, I²C, LIN, and four 8-/16-bit timers - deployed in consumer appliance control and industrial sensor interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the R5F21284SNSP datasheet, R5F21284SNSP pinout, R5F21284SNSP application, or R5F21284SNSP equivalent, key selection criteria include its -20°C to +85°C operating range (N version), on-chip voltage detection and power-on reset, low-power stop mode (0.7 µA), and hardware LIN support via Timer RA and UART0 - all within a 20-pin surface-mount package.
Technical Context
The R5F21284SNSP implements the R8C CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions and a 20-bit address space supporting up to 1 Mbyte. Its memory subsystem includes 16 KB of on-chip flash program ROM and 1 KB of SRAM, mapped to fixed regions (0C000h–0FFFFh and 00400h–007FFh respectively), with a dedicated 32-byte interrupt vector table at 0FFDCh–0FFFFh.
Peripheral integration includes two independent UART channels (UART0 with clock-synchronous serial I/O capability and UART1), one I²C bus interface, one hardware LIN module (using Timer RA and UART0), four timer units (RA/RB: 8-bit; RC: 16-bit input-capture/output-compare; RE: real-time clock), and a 10-bit A/D converter with four analog inputs (AN8–AN11).

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding supply voltage for R5F21284SNSP?
The R5F21284SNSP achieves a minimum instruction execution time of 50 ns at 20 MHz, requiring a supply voltage of 3.0 V to 5.5 V. This specification applies to all versions except the K version (16 MHz max), and confirms full-speed operation is supported within its N-version voltage range. The R5F21284SNSP maintains timing integrity across its specified VCC window without derating.
Does R5F21284SNSP include on-chip debug support for firmware development?
Yes, the R5F21284SNSP supports on-chip debugging via the single-wire background debugger interface (BDC), compatible with Renesas E8/E8a emulators. This allows full breakpoint, watchpoint, and memory inspection capabilities without requiring additional debug hardware pins - essential for rapid iteration during R5F21284SNSP firmware development.
Can R5F21284SNSP operate in low-power modes, and what are the current draw specifications?
Yes, the R5F21284SNSP supports multiple low-power states: wait mode draws 2.0 µA (with 32 kHz XCIN clock active), and stop mode draws just 0.7 µA (VCC = 3.0 V). These modes retain RAM content and allow wake-up via external interrupt or reset, making the R5F21284SNSP suitable for battery-powered sensing nodes where energy efficiency is critical.
Is the R5F21284SNSP pin-compatible with other devices in the R8C/28 Group?
Yes, all R8C/28 Group MCUs - including R5F21282SNSP, R5F21284SNSP, and R5F21286JSP - share identical 20-pin LSSOP (PLSP0020JB-A) packaging and pin assignments. Firmware and hardware designs targeting the R5F21284SNSP can be reused across the group with only memory size and temperature grade adjustments required.
What peripheral interfaces does R5F21284SNSP provide for sensor connectivity?
The R5F21284SNSP provides four analog inputs (AN8–AN11) for direct connection to thermistors, potentiometers, or bridge sensors; I²C (SCL/SDA) for digital sensors like temperature/humidity ICs; and UART0/UART1 for serial sensor modules. Its integrated 10-bit ADC and configurable pull-ups simplify analog front-end design without external components.
