Product details
Overview
R5F212B8SNFA#V2 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit R8C/Tiny Series MCU with 64 KB flash program memory, 1 KB × 2 on-chip data flash, and 3 KB RAM, operating at up to 20 MHz (VCC = 3.0–5.5 V). It integrates dual UARTs, LIN hardware module, 12-channel 10-bit A/D converter, two 8-bit D/A converters, and six timer units-including complementary PWM-capable Timer RD-for motor control in consumer appliance power stages.
For engineers reviewing the R5F212B8SNFA#V2 datasheet, R5F212B8SNFA#V2 pinout, R5F212B8SNFA#V2 application, or R5F212B8SNFA#V2 equivalent, key selection criteria 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), and hardware LIN support tied to UART0 and Timer RA.
Technical Context
The R5F212B8SNFA#V2 implements the R8C/Tiny CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions and a 16×16→32-bit hardware multiplier for efficient signal processing. Its clock system includes XIN/XOUT (up to 20 MHz), XCIN/XCOUT (32 kHz real-time clock), and programmable high-speed/low-speed on-chip oscillators with frequency adjustment.
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 automatic sync-break detection and checksum generation per ISO 9141-2.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | R8C/Tiny 16-bit core with 89 instructions; executes in 50 ns at 20 MHz - enables fast loop execution in sensor-fused control firmware. |
| Memory | 64 KB flash program ROM + 2 KB data flash (1 KB × 2 blocks) - supports field firmware updates and parameter storage without external EEPROM. |
| A/D Converter | 10-bit resolution × 12 channels with sample-and-hold - captures analog sensor inputs (e.g., thermistors, current shunts) simultaneously across multiple system points. |
| PWM Capability | Timer RD delivers 6-pin complementary PWM with triangular/sawtooth modulation - directly drives 3-phase inverter gate drivers with dead-time control. |
| Serial Interfaces | UART0/1/2 + I2C/SSU (shared) + hardware LIN - enables local device communication (UART), bus-level sensor networking (I2C), and automotive-grade diagnostics (LIN). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit MCU applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F212B8SNFP#V2 | Same core, memory, and peripherals; differs only in PLQP0064KB-A package (0.5 mm pitch, 10 mm × 10 mm) | Requires PCB layout revision due to smaller footprint and tighter pitch - suited for space-constrained designs where thermal mass is less critical | Select when board area is constrained and reflow process supports fine-pitch LQFP; verify trace impedance for high-speed clock routing. |
| R5F212A8SNFA#V2 | Identical package and pinout but lacks on-chip data flash (no 1 KB × 2 blocks); otherwise matches R5F212B8SNFA#V2 in ROM/RAM/peripherals | Cannot store field-updatable parameters or logs internally - requires external EEPROM or FRAM for configuration retention | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs need for embedded nonvolatile parameter storage; confirm external memory interface availability. |
