It operates at up to 20 MHz (VCC = 2.7–5.5 V), features integrated LIN hardware module, 10-bit A/D converter (4 channels), and real-time clock (Timer RE), targeting embedded control in consumer appliances and office equipment.
For engineers reviewing the R5F21324CNSP#W4 datasheet, R5F21324CNSP#W4 pinout, R5F21324CNSP#W4 application, or R5F21324CNSP#W4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 20-pin LSSOP package, -20°C to +85°C temperature grade (N version), on-chip voltage detection (3 levels), low-power wait/stop modes (down to 3.5 µA / 2.0 µA), and hardware LIN compliance using Timer RA and UART0.
Technical Context
The R5F21324CNSP#W4 implements the R8C CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions, 16×16→32-bit multiplier, and multiply-accumulate capability. Its memory map spans 1 Mbyte (00000h–FFFFFh), with program ROM starting at 0C000h, data flash at 03000h–03FFFh, and RAM at 00400h–009FFh.
Peripheral integration includes four independent timers (RA/RB/RC/RE), dual UARTs (UART0/UART2 with I²C mode), SSU/I²C shared interface, 2-channel Comparator B, and DTC with 21 activation sources. Clock generation supports XIN (up to 20 MHz), XCIN (32 kHz), and two on-chip oscillators (high-speed adjustable, low-speed).

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and supply voltage range for the R5F21324CNSP#W4?
The R5F21324CNSP#W4 operates at up to 20 MHz when supplied between 2.7 V and 5.5 V. At lower voltages (1.8 V to 5.5 V), the maximum frequency is reduced to 5 MHz to ensure stable operation. This dual-frequency capability allows flexible design across battery-powered and line-powered applications while maintaining compatibility with common 3.3 V and 5 V system rails.
Does the R5F21324CNSP#W4 support hardware LIN communication, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the R5F21324CNSP#W4 integrates a dedicated hardware LIN module compliant with LIN 2.0/2.1 standards. It combines UART0 for serial framing and Timer RA for precise baud rate generation and synchronization, eliminating software bit-banging. This implementation ensures deterministic timing, reduced CPU load, and robust error handling - essential for automotive body electronics and appliance inter-module communication.
What memory resources does the R5F21324CNSP#W4 provide, and how is data flash used in practice?
The R5F21324CNSP#W4 includes 16 KB of flash program ROM, 1.5 KB of RAM, and 4 KB of data flash organized as four 1-KB blocks. Data flash supports background operation (BGO), enabling firmware parameter storage, calibration data logging, or field-upgradable configuration tables without halting CPU execution - critical for uninterrupted operation in industrial controllers and smart appliances.
How does the R5F21324CNSP#W4 manage low-power operation, and what are the lowest current consumption figures?
The R5F21324CNSP#W4 offers multiple low-power modes: wait mode draws 3.5 µA (VCC = 3.0 V, 32 kHz XCIN active), and stop mode consumes just 2.0 µA (same conditions). Both modes retain RAM content and support wake-up via interrupts, key inputs, or external triggers. These figures enable multi-year battery life in remote controls, sensor nodes, and standby subsystems without compromising responsiveness.
What is the package type and pin count of the R5F21324CNSP#W4, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The R5F21324CNSP#W4 uses a 20-pin LSSOP package (PLSP0020JB-A, 0.65 mm pitch) and is RoHS-compliant and lead-free. This compact surface-mount package supports automated assembly and provides sufficient I/O for mid-complexity control applications while maintaining thermal performance suitable for enclosed consumer electronics housings.
