Product details
Overview
R5F212B8SDFP#X6 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 over −40°C to +85°C. It integrates a 16×16-bit multiplier, 12-channel 10-bit A/D converter, dual 8-bit D/A converters, three UARTs, I²C/SSU, hardware LIN, and six advanced timers including complementary PWM for motor control. It targets embedded control in industrial sensors and appliance subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the R5F212B8SDFP#X6 datasheet, R5F212B8SDFP#X6 pinout, R5F212B8SDFP#X6 application, or R5F212B8SDFP#X6 equivalent, key selection considerations include its −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade, dual data flash blocks enabling background reprogramming, integrated LIN physical layer support via UART0 and timer RA, and 64-pin LQFP (PLQP0064KB-A) package with 55 CMOS I/O pins and 8 high-current drive outputs.
Technical Context
The R5F212B8SDFP#X6 implements the R8C/Tiny CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions and single-cycle multiply-accumulate capability (16×16→32 + 32→32). Its clock system includes XIN/XOUT (up to 20 MHz), high-speed/low-speed on-chip oscillators, and 32 kHz XCIN/XCOUT for real-time clock operation.
Peripheral integration centers on deterministic timing control: Timer RD provides reset-synchronous and complementary PWM for three-phase motor drives; Timer RC and RF support input capture and output compare for encoder interfacing; and the LIN module uses UART0 with timer RA for baud rate generation and sync pulse handling per ISO 9141-2.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | R8C/Tiny 16-bit core with 89 instructions; executes 50 ns min. at 20 MHz - enables real-time loop execution in motor control firmware. |
| Memory | 64 KB flash ROM + 1 KB × 2 data flash + 3 KB RAM - supports field firmware updates without external EEPROM. |
| A/D Converter | 10-bit resolution × 12 channels with sample-and-hold - sufficient for simultaneous analog sensing of voltage, current, and temperature in power supplies. |
| Timers | Timer RD (16-bit × 2) with complementary PWM mode - generates synchronized high-side/low-side gate signals for 3-phase inverter bridges. |
| Serial Interfaces | UART0/1/2 + I²C/SSU + hardware LIN - UART0+timer RA implements ISO 9141-2 LIN slave without bit-banging overhead. |
| Operating Range | −40°C to +85°C ambient, 2.2–5.5 V supply - qualified for industrial-grade environmental resilience without derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F212B8SNFP | Same core, memory, and peripherals but rated for −20°C to +85°C (N version); no industrial temperature qualification. | Suitable for commercial indoor appliances but not factory-floor or outdoor enclosures with wide thermal cycling. | Select R5F212B8SDFP#X6 when ambient operating range must include −40°C cold starts or extended high-temperature operation. |
| R5F212B8SDFA | Identical electrical specs and temperature grade, but in 64-pin LQFP with 0.8 mm pitch (PLQP0064GA-A) - larger footprint, different PCB layout. | Used where board space permits larger package or legacy layout compatibility is required. | Choose R5F212B8SDFP#X6 for compact designs requiring 0.5 mm pitch and 10 mm × 10 mm area constraint. |
Compared with R5F212B8SNFP and R5F212B8SDFA, the R5F212B8SDFP#X6 uniquely combines industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) with the smallest 64-pin LQFP footprint (PLQP0064KB-A), making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding embedded controllers where data flash reliability and LIN compliance are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and supply voltage range for R5F212B8SDFP#X6?
The R5F212B8SDFP#X6 operates at up to 20 MHz when supplied at 3.0–5.5 V, 10 MHz at 2.7–5.5 V, and 5 MHz at 2.2–5.5 V. These graded frequency/voltage specifications allow flexible power design - for example, running at 10 MHz from a 3.3 V rail reduces dynamic power while maintaining real-time responsiveness in sensor nodes. The R5F212B8SDFP#X6 maintains full peripheral functionality across all supported ranges.
Does R5F212B8SDFP#X6 support in-system programming and debug interfaces?
Yes, the R5F212B8SDFP#X6 includes on-chip debug capability and supports on-board flash rewrite via dedicated serial interface (typically using RXD0/TXD0 and RESET). It enables firmware updates in the field without removing the device, and debugging via standard Renesas E8/E8a emulators. The R5F212B8SDFP#X6 also features ROM code protection and ID code check to prevent unauthorized access during development or mass production.
How does the data flash in R5F212B8SDFP#X6 differ from program flash, and what is its endurance?
The R5F212B8SDFP#X6 contains two independent 1 KB data flash blocks separate from the 64 KB program flash. Data flash is optimized for frequent rewrites (10,000 erase/write cycles) and supports background programming - allowing application code to run while updating calibration constants or event logs. Program flash endurance is 1,000 cycles. This separation ensures reliable nonvolatile storage for runtime variables without compromising firmware integrity. The R5F212B8SDFP#X6 leverages this architecture for robust parameter retention.
Can R5F212B8SDFP#X6 generate complementary PWM waveforms with programmable dead time?
Yes, Timer RD in the R5F212B8SDFP#X6 supports complementary PWM mode with hardware-configurable dead time insertion between high-side and low-side outputs (e.g., P2_0/P2_1). This prevents shoot-through in half-bridge or 3-phase inverter stages without CPU intervention. The R5F212B8SDFP#X6 also offers reset-synchronous PWM for precise phase alignment across multiple channels - critical for motor sinusoidal commutation.
What LIN protocol versions and conformance levels does R5F212B8SDFP#X6 support?
The R5F212B8SDFP#X6 implements hardware LIN per ISO 9141-2 using UART0 and timer RA for accurate baud rate generation (19.2 kbps nominal), sync-field detection, and checksum calculation. It supports LIN 1.3 and 2.0 frame formats but does not include LIN 2.1/2.2 auto-addressing or sleep/wake functionality in hardware - those require firmware extension. The R5F212B8SDFP#X6 meets physical layer timing tolerances without software bit-banging overhead.
