Product details
Overview
R5F212B7SNFA#X6 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit R8C/Tiny Series microcontroller in the R8C/2B Group, featuring 48 KB flash program memory, 1 KB × 2 on-chip data flash, 2.5 KB RAM, and operation at up to 20 MHz (VCC = 3.0–5.5 V). It integrates 12-channel 10-bit A/D, dual 8-bit D/A converters, six timer modules (including three-phase PWM-capable Timer RD), LIN hardware interface, and UART/SSU/I²C serial interfaces. It targets embedded control in consumer appliances requiring low-power operation and mixed-signal integration.
For engineers reviewing the R5F212B7SNFA#X6 datasheet, R5F212B7SNFA#X6 pinout, R5F212B7SNFA#X6 application, or R5F212B7SNFA#X6 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 64-pin LQFP package (PLQP0064GA-A), -20°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade (N version), on-chip data flash endurance (10,000 erase/write cycles), real-time clock capability (Timer RE), and hardware LIN compliance using UART0 and Timer RA.
Technical Context
The R5F212B7SNFA#X6 implements the R8C/Tiny CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions and a dedicated 16×16→32-bit multiplier for efficient signal processing. Its memory architecture separates 48 KB flash program ROM from two independent 1 KB data flash blocks-enabling field firmware updates without erasing application code.
Peripheral integration includes Timer RD with complementary PWM mode for three-phase motor control, hardware LIN transceiver support via UART0 and Timer RA, and flexible clocking with XIN/XOUT (up to 20 MHz), high-speed on-chip oscillator (frequency-adjustable), and 32 kHz XCIN/XCOUT RTC source. Low-power modes (wait: 2.1 µA, stop: 0.65 µA at 3.0 V) are enabled by configurable oscillation stop detection and prescaled clock dividers.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and supply voltage range for the R5F212B7SNFA#X6?
The R5F212B7SNFA#X6 operates at up to 20 MHz when supplied with 3.0–5.5 V. At lower frequencies (10 MHz, 5 MHz), it supports reduced supply voltages down to 2.2 V, enabling flexible power design across battery- and line-powered applications. This specification is confirmed in Tables 1.3 and 1.4 of the R8C/2B Group datasheet (Rev. 2.10).
Does the R5F212B7SNFA#X6 include on-chip data flash, and what is its endurance rating?
Yes, the R5F212B7SNFA#X6 includes 1 KB × 2 on-chip data flash blocks rated for 10,000 erase/write cycles - distinct from its 48 KB program flash (1,000 cycles). This allows reliable storage of calibration data, device configuration, or firmware update staging without wearing out main program memory.
Which package type does the R5F212B7SNFA#X6 use, and how does it differ from other variants in the R8C/2B Group?
The R5F212B7SNFA#X6 uses the PLQP0064GA-A 64-pin LQFP package (0.8 mm pin pitch, 14 mm × 14 mm body). It differs from the FP variant (PLQP0064KB-A, 0.5 mm pitch, 10 mm body) and LG variant (PTLG0064JA-A, 0.65 mm pitch, 6 mm body) in mechanical dimensions and assembly requirements - no electrical or functional difference exists between them.
How is LIN bus functionality implemented on the R5F212B7SNFA#X6?
LIN bus communication on the R5F212B7SNFA#X6 is implemented in hardware using UART0 combined with Timer RA for baud rate generation and frame synchronization - eliminating need for external LIN transceivers. This configuration supports LIN 2.0 protocol and is explicitly documented in Section 1.1.2 and Table 1.4 of the R8C/2B Group datasheet.
What are the low-power modes supported by the R5F212B7SNFA#X6, and what are their typical current draws?
The R5F212B7SNFA#X6 supports wait mode (2.1 µA at 3.0 V with 32 kHz RTC active) and stop mode (0.65 µA at 3.0 V), both retaining RAM content and allowing wake-up via interrupts or external events. These values are measured under specified conditions in Table 1.4 and enable extended standby operation in energy-conscious appliances.
