Product details
Overview
R5F21356CDFP#50 from Renesas is a 16-bit R8C CPU core MCU 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 47 CMOS I/O ports with pull-up select, and integrates UART0/1/2, I²C, LIN, 10-bit × 12-channel ADC, dual 8-bit DAC, and six timer modules (RA–RE + RD dual 16-bit) for motor control and real-time clocking in consumer appliance systems.
For engineers reviewing the R5F21356CDFP#50 datasheet, R5F21356CDFP#50 pinout, R5F21356CDFP#50 application, or R5F21356CDFP#50 equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade (D version), 52-pin LQFP package with 0.65 mm pitch, integrated voltage detection (VDD = 1.8–5.5 V), low-power wait/stop modes (down to 2.0 µA), and hardware LIN module using Timer RA and UART0.
Technical Context
The R5F21356CDFP#50 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 fixed interrupt vector table at 0FFDCh–0FFFFh and data flash at 03000h–03FFFh.
It supports four clock sources: XIN (up to 20 MHz crystal/resonator), XCIN (32 kHz crystal), high-speed on-chip oscillator (adjustable), and low-speed on-chip oscillator - all with oscillation stop detection and selectable frequency dividers (1/2/4/8/16). Power management includes standard, wait, and stop modes with dedicated low-speed oscillator for watchdog and RTC.
