Overview
R5F21286KSP#W4 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit single-chip microcontroller in the R8C/28 Group, featuring 32 KB flash program memory, 1.5 KB RAM, and operation up to 20 MHz at 3.0–5.5 V. It integrates UART0/UART1, I²C bus interface, LIN hardware module, 10-bit 4-channel ADC, four 8-/16-bit timers (RA/RB/RC/RE), and real-time clock functionality - deployed in automotive body control modules requiring extended temperature operation.
For engineers reviewing the R5F21286KSP#W4 datasheet, R5F21286KSP#W4 pinout, R5F21286KSP#W4 application, or R5F21286KSP#W4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40°C to +125°C industrial-grade operating range, on-chip voltage detection and power-on reset, 20-pin LSSOP package with verified pin mapping, and support for LIN 2.0-compliant communication via dedicated hardware timer and UART0.
Technical Context
The R5F21286KSP#W4 implements the R8C CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions and executes at 50 ns minimum instruction time (20 MHz XIN, 3.0–5.5 V). Its memory architecture provides 1 Mbyte address space, fixed interrupt vector table at 0FFDCh–0FFFFh, and supports both user ROM and SFR access within defined ranges.
Peripheral integration includes dual UARTs (one shared with LIN), I²C-compatible serial interface, clock-synchronous serial I/O with chip select, and Timer RE configured for real-time clock and compare match - all controlled via dedicated special function registers mapped to 00000h–002FFh.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and supply voltage range for R5F21286KSP#W4?
R5F21286KSP#W4 operates at up to 20 MHz with a supply voltage range of 3.0 V to 5.5 V. Its minimum instruction execution time is 50 ns under these conditions. The K-version qualification (-40°C to +125°C) applies across this full voltage range, ensuring timing compliance in high-temperature automotive environments where voltage regulation may vary.
Does R5F21286KSP#W4 include on-chip debug support?
Yes, R5F21286KSP#W4 supports on-chip debugging via the single-wire background debug mode (BDM) interface using the RESET pin. This enables full breakpoint, step-through, and register inspection capabilities without requiring additional debug pins - critical for space-constrained automotive PCB layouts where R5F21286KSP#W4 is commonly deployed.
Can R5F21286KSP#W4 generate LIN-compliant waveforms without external components?
Yes, R5F21286KSP#W4 integrates a hardware LIN module combining Timer RA and UART0 to generate ISO 9141-2/LIN 2.0-compliant baud rates, synchronization fields, and checksums. While an external LIN transceiver is still required for bus-level signal conditioning, R5F21286KSP#W4 handles all protocol-layer timing and framing - reducing firmware overhead and improving timing accuracy versus bit-banged implementations.
What are the ADC reference options available on R5F21286KSP#W4?
R5F21286KSP#W4 supports two ADC reference sources: the internal VCC supply (default) and an external voltage applied to the VREF pin. Using VREF allows precise, noise-immune conversion independent of VCC fluctuations - essential for accurate sensor measurements in electrically noisy automotive environments where R5F21286KSP#W4 is frequently used.
Is the R5F21286KSP#W4 pin-compatible with other R8C/28 Group devices?
Yes, R5F21286KSP#W4 shares the identical 20-pin LSSOP (PLSP0020JB-A) package and pinout with all R8C/28 Group members, including R5F21284KSP and R5F21282KSP. Memory size and peripheral enablement differ by part number, but PCB layout, power delivery, and signal routing remain fully interchangeable - enabling scalable design reuse across performance tiers within the same platform.
