Product details
Overview
R5F21346MNFP#50 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit R8C CPU core microcontroller with 32 KB flash program ROM, 2.5 KB RAM, and 4 KB data flash (1 KB × 4 blocks) supporting background operation (BGO). It operates at up to 20 MHz (VCC = 2.7–5.5 V), features a 16×16→32-bit hardware multiplier, and integrates UART0/1/2, I²C, LIN, 10-bit ADC (12 channels), dual 8-bit DACs, and six timer modules (RA–RE + RD dual-channel) - deployed in consumer audio equipment and office automation systems.
For engineers reviewing the R5F21346MNFP#50 datasheet, R5F21346MNFP#50 pinout, R5F21346MNFP#50 application, or R5F21346MNFP#50 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 48-pin LQFP package (PLQP0048KB-A), -20°C to +85°C operating range (N version), integrated LIN hardware module, BGO-enabled data flash for firmware updates without halting execution, and low-power stop mode (2.0 µA).
Technical Context
The R5F21346MNFP#50 implements the R8C CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions, 1-Mbyte address space, and register bank architecture (two 13-register banks). Its clock system includes four independent sources: XIN (up to 20 MHz), XCIN (32 kHz), high-speed on-chip oscillator (adjustable), and low-speed on-chip oscillator - all selectable via software-controlled prescalers and division ratios (1/2/4/8/16).
Peripheral integration centers on deterministic real-time control: Timer RD provides complementary PWM for three-phase motor drive (6-pin output, triangular/sawtooth modulation), while UART2 supports I²C-bus mode and multiprocessor communication. The DTC (Data Transfer Controller) enables autonomous memory-to-peripheral transfers triggered by 33 sources, reducing CPU load during ADC sweeps or serial streaming.
