Product details
Overview
R5F21356CNFP#10 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) for motor control and real-time clocking in consumer appliance control systems.
For engineers reviewing the R5F21356CNFP#10 datasheet, R5F21356CNFP#10 pinout, R5F21356CNFP#10 application, or R5F21356CNFP#10 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 52-pin LQFP package, -20°C to +85°C temperature grade (N version), integrated LIN hardware module, BGO-enabled data flash for firmware updates during runtime, and low-power stop mode (2.0 µA).
Technical Context
The R5F21356CNFP#10 implements the R8C CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions, 1-Mbyte address space, and register bank architecture (two 16-bit register banks). Its clock system includes four independent sources: XIN/XOUT (up to 20 MHz), XCIN/XCOUT (32 kHz), high-speed on-chip oscillator (adjustable), and low-speed on-chip oscillator - all selectable via software-controlled frequency dividers (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), Timer RC supports 3-pin PWM, and the LIN module leverages Timer RA and UART0 for ISO-9141/SAE J2602-compliant communication without CPU intervention. The DTC (Data Transfer Controller) enables autonomous memory-to-peripheral transfers triggered by 33 sources.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 52-pin LQFP (PLQP0052JA-A), 10 mm × 10 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, N-version (-20°C to +85°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC/AVCC (Pin 12) | Power supply input | Main digital supply (1.8–5.5 V); AVCC powers ADC/DAC reference - requires local decoupling to AVSS. |
| VSS/AVSS (Pin 10) | Ground reference | Digital and analog ground return; separate AVSS minimizes noise coupling into analog peripherals. |
| XIN/XOUT (Pins 11/9) | External crystal interface | Supports 20 MHz crystal for high-precision timing; XOUT can accept external clock if XIN is left open. |
| XCIN/XCOUT (Pins 6/7) | 32 kHz crystal interface | Enables low-power RTC operation and watchdog timing independent of main clock domain. |
| RESET (Pin 8) | Active-low reset input | Hardware reset assertion resets CPU, peripherals, and registers; synchronous deassertion required for reliable startup. |
| P0_0–P0_7 (Pins 39–46) | CMOS I/O port | 8-bit bidirectional port with programmable pull-up; AN0–AN7 and DA0/DA1 share pins - analog/digital function selected by register. |
| INT0–INT4 (Pins 30,25,27,28,29) | Interrupt request inputs | Five dedicated interrupt pins with priority levels (0–7); INT0 linked to Timer RB/RC/RD for event-triggered capture or reload. |
| TRAO/TRBO (Pins 1/3/26) | Timer output signals | Timer RA/B output pins for PWM, pulse generation, or waveform synthesis; TRAO also serves as LIN bus output. |
| UART2 pins (Pins 13–16) | Serial interface I/O | P3_7 (SDA/SCL/TXD2/RXD2), P3_5 (SCL/CLK2), P3_4 (SSI/RXD2/SCL2), P3_3 (SCS/CTS2/RTS2) support multimode UART/I²C/SSU operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Background Operation (BGO) | Data flash erasure/programming occurs concurrently with CPU code execution - enables field firmware updates without halting application logic. |
| Hardware LIN Module | Integrated LIN 2.0/SAE J2602 controller using Timer RA and UART0 - eliminates external transceiver for automotive body electronics and appliance sub-networks. |
| Complementary PWM (Timer RD) | Generates synchronized three-phase waveforms (6 outputs) with dead-time insertion and triangular/sawtooth modulation - directly drives gate drivers in BLDC motor inverters. |
| Low-Power Operating Modes | Stop mode draws only 2.0 µA @ 3.0 V; wait mode retains RAM and clocks 32 kHz XCIN - ideal for battery-powered remote controls and sensor nodes. |
| 12-Channel 10-bit ADC with Sweep Mode | Automatically sequences conversions across all 12 analog inputs without CPU polling - reduces firmware overhead in multi-sensor household appliance monitoring. |
