Product details
Overview
R5F21294JSP#W4 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit R8C/29 Group single-chip microcontroller with 16 KB program flash, 2 KB data flash (1 KB × 2 blocks), 1 KB RAM, and operating temperature range of −40 to +85°C. It integrates an R8C CPU core, 10-bit 4-channel ADC, UART0/UART1, I²C bus interface, hardware LIN module, and four 8/16-bit timers - used in industrial control panels requiring embedded real-time monitoring and communication.
For engineers reviewing the R5F21294JSP#W4 datasheet, R5F21294JSP#W4 pinout, R5F21294JSP#W4 application, or R5F21294JSP#W4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its J-version industrial temperature grade, on-chip data flash for parameter storage, LSSOP-20 package constraints, and hardware LIN support for automotive body electronics integration.
Technical Context
The R5F21294JSP#W4 implements the R8C CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions and minimum instruction execution time of 50 ns at 20 MHz (VCC = 3.0–5.5 V). Its memory architecture separates 16 KB program ROM from 2 KB data flash (1 KB × 2 blocks), enabling field-updatable configuration storage independent of firmware.
Peripheral integration includes Timer RE with compare match (but no real-time clock in J version), hardware LIN transceiver co-sourced from Timer RA and UART0, and dual UART channels supporting both asynchronous and clock-synchronous serial I/O - all mapped to a fixed 20-pin LSSOP package with shared pin functions including SDA/SCL, TRCIOx, and KI0–KI3.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F21294KSP | Same core, memory, and peripherals but rated for −40°C to +125°C operation | Required for under-hood automotive applications; not needed for industrial cabinet-mounted use | Select R5F21294KSP only if ambient exceeds +85°C; otherwise R5F21294JSP#W4 offers cost and qualification advantage |
| R5F21284JSP | R8C/28 Group part with identical J-grade temp range but no data flash (0 KB) | Suitable where configuration is static or stored externally; lacks field-updatable parameter storage | Choose R5F21284JSP if data flash is unnecessary and BOM cost reduction is critical; verify firmware compatibility with missing data flash registers |
Compared with R5F21294KSP, R5F21294JSP#W4 reduces thermal qualification cost while retaining full peripheral functionality for industrial environments; versus R5F21284JSP, it adds 2 KB data flash essential for adaptive calibration and runtime configuration - making it optimal for field-deployed equipment requiring maintenance-free parameter updates.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F21294JSP#W4?
The R5F21294JSP#W4 supports a maximum operating frequency of 20 MHz when supplied at VCC = 3.0–5.5 V, delivering a minimum instruction execution time of 50 ns. This frequency is achieved using the external crystal oscillator connected to XIN/XOUT pins; the on-chip high-speed oscillator can be trimmed but does not exceed 20 MHz in the J-version specification.
Does the R5F21294JSP#W4 include a real-time clock (RTC)?
No, the R5F21294JSP#W4 does not include a functional real-time clock. While Timer RE is present, the J-version supports only compare match functionality - the RTC feature (calendar counter, alarm, periodic interrupt) is explicitly excluded per Renesas documentation and reserved for N/D versions with XCIN/XCOUT support.
How much data flash memory does the R5F21294JSP#W4 have, and what is its endurance?
The R5F21294JSP#W4 contains 2 KB of data flash memory organized as two 1 KB blocks, rated for 10,000 program/erase cycles. This is distinct from the 16 KB program flash (1,000-cycle endurance) and enables reliable storage of calibration data, device IDs, or field-updated parameters without external nonvolatile memory.
Can the R5F21294JSP#W4 operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the R5F21294JSP#W4 operates across VCC = 2.7–5.5 V, fully supporting 3.3 V nominal supply. At 3.3 V and 10 MHz operation, typical current consumption is 6 mA active and 0.7 µA in stop mode - making it suitable for mixed-voltage systems interfacing with 3.3 V logic and sensors.
What LIN protocol version is supported by the R5F21294JSP#W4 hardware module?
The R5F21294JSP#W4 implements a hardware LIN module compliant with LIN 2.1 specification, using Timer RA and UART0 resources. It handles frame synchronization, checksum calculation (classic and enhanced), and automatic header/response timing - reducing CPU overhead compared to bit-banged implementations.
