Overview
R5F21368SNFP#30 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit R8C CPU core microcontroller with 64 KB flash program memory, 6 KB RAM, and 4 KB data flash (1 KB × 4 blocks) supporting background operation (BGO). It integrates a 28-channel electrostatic capacitive touch sensor control unit (TSCU), 10-bit 12-channel ADC, hardware LIN module, UART0/UART2/SSU/I²C serial interfaces, and four independent timers including PWM-capable RC_0 and programmable waveform generator RB2_0 - deployed in consumer appliance control panels requiring low-power, high-EMI-immunity embedded sensing.
For engineers reviewing the R5F21368SNFP#30 datasheet, R5F21368SNFP#30 pinout, R5F21368SNFP#30 application, or R5F21368SNFP#30 equivalent, key selection criteria include its -20°C to +85°C operating range (N version), 64-pin LQFP package (PLQP0064KB-A), on-chip voltage detection with three selectable thresholds, and support for wait/stop low-power modes down to 2.2 µA.
Technical Context
The R5F21368SNFP#30 implements the R8C CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions, 20-bit address space (1 Mbyte), and a dedicated 16×16→32-bit multiplier with multiply-accumulate capability. Its clock system includes dual on-chip oscillators (high-speed adjustable and low-speed 32 kHz), XIN/XOUT and XCIN/XCOUT crystal inputs, and programmable frequency dividers (÷1, ÷2, ÷4, ÷8, ÷16).
Peripheral integration centers on event-driven architecture: the Event Link Controller (ELC) enables 30 sources × 10 event link operations without CPU intervention; the Data Transfer Controller (DTC) provides single-channel DMA with 27 activation sources; and the TSCU supports floating capacitance measurement across 28 dedicated channels using CHxA0–CHxC and CH00–CH35 pins.
