Product details
Overview
R5F21356CNFP#V2 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 ×12-channel ADC, dual 8-bit DACs, and six timer modules (RA–RE + RD dual 16-bit) for motor control and real-time signal processing in consumer appliance control systems.
For engineers reviewing the R5F21356CNFP#V2 datasheet, R5F21356CNFP#V2 pinout, R5F21356CNFP#V2 application, or R5F21356CNFP#V2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 52-pin LQFP package, -20°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade (N version), on-chip debug capability, voltage detection circuit with selectable thresholds, and low-power wait/stop modes down to 3.5 µA and 2.0 µA respectively.
Technical Context
The R5F21356CNFP#V2 implements the R8C CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions, 1-Mbyte address space, and register bank architecture supporting fast context switching. 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 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), while the LIN module leverages Timer RA and UART0 for hardware protocol compliance. The DTC (Data Transfer Controller) supports 33 activation sources and repeat-mode transfers, enabling autonomous ADC-to-memory or UART-to-buffer operations without CPU intervention.
