Product details
Overview
R5F21292SDSP#W4 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit single-chip microcontroller in the R8C/29 Group, featuring an R8C CPU core, 8 KB program flash, dual 1 KB data flash blocks, 512 bytes RAM, and operation at -40°C to +85°C. It integrates UART0/UART1, I²C, LIN, 10-bit 4-channel ADC, four 8/16-bit timers, and operates from 2.2 V to 5.5 V. It targets embedded control in industrial sensors and appliance subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the R5F21292SDSP#W4 datasheet, R5F21292SDSP#W4 pinout, R5F21292SDSP#W4 application, or R5F21292SDSP#W4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its D-version temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C), dual-block data flash (1 KB × 2) for firmware parameter storage, LSSOP-20 package compatibility, and hardware LIN support via Timer RA and UART0.
Technical Context
The R5F21292SDSP#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 separates 8 KB program ROM from two independent 1 KB data flash blocks-enabling simultaneous code execution and nonvolatile parameter updates without halting operation.
Peripheral integration includes UART0 (clock-synchronous serial I/O + UART), UART1 (UART-only), I²C bus interface, hardware LIN module (using Timer RA and UART0), 10-bit 4-channel A/D converter, and four timer units (RA/RB: 8-bit; RC: 16-bit input-capture/output-compare; RE: real-time clock with compare match).

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and corresponding supply voltage range for the R5F21292SDSP#W4?
The R5F21292SDSP#W4 achieves a minimum instruction execution time of 50 ns at 20 MHz XIN clock frequency, requiring VCC = 3.0 V to 5.5 V. At lower frequencies (e.g., 10 MHz), it supports down to 2.7 V, and at 5 MHz, operation is guaranteed from 2.2 V - enabling flexible power domain design across 3.3 V and 5 V systems.
Does the R5F21292SDSP#W4 support hardware LIN communication, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the R5F21292SDSP#W4 includes a dedicated hardware LIN 2.0 module that uses Timer RA for baud rate generation and UART0 for frame transmission/reception. This offloads LIN protocol handling (break detection, sync field, checksum calculation) from the CPU, ensuring deterministic timing and reducing firmware overhead in automotive body electronics applications.
How many data flash blocks does the R5F21292SDSP#W4 have, and what is their endurance rating?
The R5F21292SDSP#W4 contains two independent 1 KB data flash blocks, each rated for 10,000 program/erase cycles. This allows wear-leveling across blocks and enables background reprogramming - critical for storing calibration data, device configuration, or usage logs without halting main application execution.
What is the function of the XCIN/XCOUT pins on the R5F21292SDSP#W4, and are they available in all versions?
The XCIN and XCOUT pins support a 32 kHz crystal oscillator for the real-time clock (Timer RE) and are functional only in N- and D-version devices like the R5F21292SDSP#W4. They are not available in J/K versions. When enabled, this circuit provides low-power timekeeping during wait and stop modes with typical current draw of 2.0 µA (wait) or 0.7 µA (stop).
Can the R5F21292SDSP#W4's I/O ports drive LEDs directly, and which pins support this capability?
Yes, the R5F21292SDSP#W4's P1_0 through P1_7 ports support LED drive functionality in N- and D-versions, providing CMOS output with sink capability up to 20 mA per pin. This eliminates the need for external transistor drivers in status indicator or segmented display applications - confirmed in the "LED drive ports" specification for D-version devices.
