FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F21356CDFP#30 and under what voltage conditions?
The R5F21356CDFP#30 achieves a maximum operating frequency of 20 MHz when powered at VCC = 2.7 V to 5.5 V. At lower supply voltages (1.8 V to 5.5 V), the maximum frequency is reduced to 5 MHz to maintain timing margin and stability. This dual-frequency capability allows flexible power/performance trade-offs in battery-powered or wide-input-voltage designs.
Does the R5F21356CDFP#30 support in-system programming of its data flash memory?
Yes, the R5F21356CDFP#30 supports background operation (BGO) for data flash, enabling in-system programming and erasure of its 4 KB data flash (1 KB × 4 blocks) while the CPU continues executing code from program ROM. This capability is essential for runtime parameter storage, firmware patching, and secure key updates without system interruption.
How many analog input channels does the R5F21356CDFP#30 provide, and what is their resolution?
The R5F21356CDFP#30 integrates a 10-bit resolution analog-to-digital converter with 12 single-ended input channels (AN0 through AN11). Each channel includes a sample-and-hold circuit and supports sweep mode for automatic sequential conversion - ideal for multi-sensor monitoring in appliances and industrial controls.
What communication interfaces are available on the R5F21356CDFP#30, and which support I²C functionality?
The R5F21356CDFP#30 provides UART0, UART1, and UART2, plus an I²C bus and synchronous serial unit (SSU). UART2 supports I²C mode natively, and the I²C bus shares pins with the SSU. Both interfaces operate at standard I²C speeds (100 kHz/400 kHz), enabling direct connection to temperature sensors, EEPROMs, and other I²C peripherals without external level shifters.
Is the R5F21356CDFP#30 pin-compatible with other members of the R8C/35C Group?
Yes, all R8C/35C Group MCUs, including R5F21356CDFP#30, share the identical 52-pin LQFP package (PLQP0052JA-A) and pin assignment. This allows direct substitution within the family - for example, upgrading to R5F21358CDFP#30 for more program ROM - without PCB layout changes, provided firmware and memory mapping are updated accordingly.
