Product details
Overview
R5F212K4SNFP#V2 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit R8C/Tiny Series microcontroller in 32-pin LQFP (PLQP0032GB-A), featuring 16 KB flash ROM, 1.5 KB RAM, 10-bit × 9-channel ADC, dual UART interfaces, hardware LIN support, and four timer modules (RA–RD) with PWM, capture/compare, and three-phase waveform generation capability - deployed in consumer appliance motor control and industrial sensor interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the R5F212K4SNFP#V2 datasheet, R5F212K4SNFP#V2 pinout, R5F212K4SNFP#V2 application, or R5F212K4SNFP#V2 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for embedded system design, BOM optimization, and supply continuity planning.
Technical Context
The R5F212K4SNFP#V2 implements the R8C/Tiny CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions, 16×16→32-bit multiplier, and 1 Mbyte address space. It executes at 50 ns minimum instruction time (20 MHz XIN, 3.0–5.5 V), supports single-chip mode only, and includes on-chip high-/low-speed oscillators with frequency adjustment and XIN stop detection.
Its peripheral set integrates UART0/UART2 with clock-synchronous serial I/O, a dedicated hardware LIN module (using timer RA and UART0), and four independent timers: 8-bit RA/RB with pulse width measurement and programmable one-shot; 16-bit RC with 4 capture/compare registers and 3-pin PWM; and 16-bit RD×2 supporting reset-synchronous and complementary PWM for three-phase motor drive (6-pin output).
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
32-pin LQFP package (PLQP0032GB-A) with exposed pad not electrically connected; 7 mm × 7 mm body, 0.8 mm lead pitch, JEDEC standard footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC/AVCC (Pin 7) | Power supply input | Main digital supply (2.2–5.5 V); AVCC powers ADC analog circuitry - requires local decoupling to AVSS |
| VSS/AVSS (Pin 5) | Ground reference | Digital ground (VSS) and analog ground (AVSS) share pin - layout must separate analog/digital return paths |
| XIN/P4_6 (Pin 6) | Clock input | Accepts crystal (XIN–XOUT), ceramic resonator, or external clock; enables 20 MHz max operation |
| RESET (Pin 3) | Active-low reset | Asynchronous reset input; internal power-on reset and voltage-detection circuit (VDD3) provide additional reliability |
| P1_4/TXD0 (Pin 21) | UART0 transmit | CMOS-output UART0 data line; supports full-duplex communication with RXD0 on P1_5 |
| P0_2/RXD2/AN5 (Pin 30) | Multiplexed I/O | Configurable as UART2 receive, analog input channel 5, or general-purpose CMOS I/O with pull-up option |
| P2_0/TRDIOA0/TRDCLK (Pin 16) | Timer RD primary I/O | Three-phase PWM output A0 or external clock input for Timer RD - critical for motor commutation timing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-power operation modes | Wait mode (23 µA @ 3.0 V, low-speed oscillator) and stop mode (0.7 µA @ 3.0 V) enable battery-powered sensor nodes |
| Hardware LIN compliance | Dedicated LIN module using UART0 + timer RA eliminates software bit-banging - ensures ISO 9141-2 timing accuracy |
| Three-phase PWM generation | Timer RD supports reset-synchronous and complementary PWM modes with 6-pin output - directly drives 3-phase inverter gate drivers |
| EMI-resistant design | On-chip anti-noise configuration reduces electromagnetic emissions and improves immunity - meets industrial noise requirements |
| Flash programming security | ROM code protect and ID code check prevent unauthorized firmware readout - essential for IP protection in OEM designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit MCU applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F212L4SNFP | Same package and peripherals, but adds 1 KB × 2 data flash (10,000 write cycles) - no ROM capacity change | Required where field firmware updates or parameter storage (e.g., calibration tables) are needed | Select R5F212L4SNFP if nonvolatile data logging or bootloader update capability is mandatory |
| R5F212K2SNFP | Identical architecture and package, but reduced 8 KB ROM and 1 KB RAM - same N-temp grade and pinout | Suitable for cost-sensitive, function-limited implementations (e.g., basic timer-based controllers) | Choose R5F212K2SNFP when application code size stays under 7.5 KB and RAM usage remains ≤900 bytes |
Compared with R5F212K4SNFP#V2, R5F212L4SNFP adds data flash for runtime parameter storage without changing footprint or software compatibility, while R5F212K2SNFP reduces memory to lower cost - both retain identical peripheral sets, temperature range, and low-power behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and supply voltage range for R5F212K4SNFP#V2?
R5F212K4SNFP#V2 operates up to 20 MHz with an XIN clock source at VCC = 3.0–5.5 V. At lower frequencies, it supports 10 MHz (2.7–5.5 V) and 5 MHz (2.2–5.5 V, though A/D converter requires ≥2.7 V). The minimum instruction execution time is 50 ns under 20 MHz/3.0 V conditions - confirmed in Renesas document REJ03B0219-0110, Table 1.1.
Does R5F212K4SNFP#V2 include on-chip data flash memory?
No, R5F212K4SNFP#V2 belongs to the R8C/2K Group and contains only program flash ROM (16 KB) and RAM (1.5 KB). Data flash (1 KB × 2 blocks) is exclusive to the R8C/2L Group, such as R5F212L4SNFP. This distinction is explicitly stated in Section 1.1 and Tables 1.1–1.4 of the official Renesas datasheet REJ03B0219-0110.
Which pins on R5F212K4SNFP#V2 support hardware LIN bus functionality?
R5F212K4SNFP#V2 implements hardware LIN using UART0 (TXD0 on P1_4, RXD0 on P1_5) combined with timer RA for baud rate generation and frame timing - per Section 1.2, Table 1.2 of REJ03B0219-0110. No external transceiver is required for basic LIN physical layer signaling, though an external LIN transceiver (e.g., TJA1020) is needed for bus-level compliance.
What are the low-power modes supported by R5F212K4SNFP#V2 and their typical current draw?
R5F212K4SNFP#V2 supports wait mode (23 µA @ 3.0 V, low-speed on-chip oscillator active) and stop mode (0.7 µA @ 3.0 V, all clocks halted except reset circuit). These values are measured per Renesas specification in Table 1.2 of REJ03B0219-0110 and assume proper configuration of unused I/O pins and disabled peripherals.
Is R5F212K4SNFP#V2 pin-compatible with other members of the R8C/2K Group?
Yes, all R8C/2K Group MCUs - including R5F212K2SNFP, R5F212K4SDFP, and R5F212K4SNFP#V2 - share identical 32-pin LQFP (PLQP0032GB-A) packaging and pin assignment. Differences are limited to ROM/RAM size, temperature grade (N/D/Y), and voltage rating - confirmed in Figure 1.1 and Table 1.5 of REJ03B0219-0110.
