Product details
Overview
R5F212B8SDFA#V2 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit R8C/Tiny Series microcontroller in the R8C/2B Group, featuring 64 KB flash program memory, 1 KB × 2 on-chip data flash, 3 KB RAM, and operation at up to 20 MHz (VCC = 3.0–5.5 V). It integrates 12-channel 10-bit ADC, dual 8-bit DACs, three UARTs, I²C/SSU, hardware LIN, six timer modules (including 16-bit RD with complementary PWM), and operates across –40°C to +85°C for industrial-grade embedded control.
For engineers reviewing the R5F212B8SDFA#V2 datasheet, R5F212B8SDFA#V2 pinout, R5F212B8SDFA#V2 application, or R5F212B8SDFA#V2 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping to PLQP0064GA-A (64-pin LQFP, 0.8 mm pitch), functional pin roles, real-world use cases in appliance motor control and sensor interface systems, and two validated alternative MCUs with documented differences.
Technical Context
The R5F212B8SDFA#V2 implements the R8C/Tiny CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions, 16×16→32-bit multiplier, and multiply-accumulate capability. Its memory architecture separates 64 KB flash program ROM from 2 KB dedicated data flash (1 KB × 2 blocks), enabling reliable parameter storage without erasing application code.
Peripheral integration includes Timer RD supporting reset-synchronous and complementary PWM for three-phase motor drive, hardware LIN transceiver co-located with UART0 and Timer RA, and dual DAC outputs usable for analog waveform generation or sensor calibration offset correction - all operating under low-power wait/stop modes down to 0.65 µA.
