Product details
Overview
R5F21388SDFP 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 36-channel electrostatic capacitive touch sensor control unit (TSCU), 10-bit A/D converter (20 channels), hardware LIN module, UART0/UART2/SSU/I²C serial interfaces, and multiple timers including 16-bit RJ, RB2, RC, and 8-bit RE2. It targets embedded control in consumer appliances requiring robust EMI/EMS performance and low-power operation.
For engineers reviewing the R5F21388SDFP datasheet, R5F21388SDFP pinout, R5F21388SDFP application, or R5F21388SDFP equivalent, key selection considerations include its -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade (D version), 80-pin LQFP package, on-chip voltage detection with three selectable thresholds, and support for wait/stop low-power modes with sub-µA current consumption.
Technical Context
The R5F21388SDFP implements the R8C CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions and a 16×16→32-bit hardware multiplier enabling efficient arithmetic. Its memory map spans 1 Mbyte (00000h–FFFFFh), with program ROM allocated across 08000h–17FFFh and data flash at 07000h–07FFFh.
Peripheral integration includes an Event Link Controller (30 sources × 10 event types) for autonomous peripheral coordination without CPU intervention, a Data Transfer Controller (DTC) with 27 activation sources, and dual UART channels (UART0_0/UART0_1) plus UART2 supporting I²C-bus mode - all sharing pins with SSU and TSCU functions on a shared 80-pin LQFP footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum CPU clock frequency supported by the R5F21388SDFP?
The R5F21388SDFP supports a maximum CPU clock frequency of 20 MHz when operating at VCC = 2.7 V to 5.5 V, delivering a minimum instruction execution time of 50 ns. At lower voltages (1.8 V to 5.5 V), the maximum clock is reduced to 5 MHz with a 200 ns minimum instruction time - a trade-off ensuring stable operation across wide supply ranges.
Does the R5F21388SDFP include hardware support for LIN communication?
Yes, the R5F21388SDFP integrates a dedicated hardware LIN module (HW-LIN_0) compliant with LIN 2.1 and SAE J2602 standards. It uses UART0_0, UART0_1, or UART2 resources under firmware control, enabling deterministic frame timing and automatic checksum generation without CPU overhead.
How many analog input channels does the R5F21388SDFP A/D converter support?
The R5F21388SDFP features a 10-bit successive-approximation A/D converter with 20 analog input channels (AN0 through AN19), supporting sample-and-hold functionality and sweep mode for automated sequential conversion - essential for multi-sensor monitoring in appliances and industrial controls.
What is the purpose of the background operation (BGO) function in the R5F21388SDFP data flash?
The background operation (BGO) function allows the R5F21388SDFP to execute program code from flash memory while simultaneously erasing or programming data flash blocks. This enables seamless firmware updates, parameter storage, or calibration data writes without halting real-time control tasks - a critical capability for uninterrupted operation in consumer and industrial systems.
Is the R5F21388SDFP pin-compatible with other devices in the R8C/38T-A Group?
Yes, all members of the R8C/38T-A Group, including R5F21388SDFP, share the identical 80-pin LQFP (PLQP0080KB-A) package and pin assignment. Memory variants (e.g., R5F2138ASDFP) and temperature grades (N/D) maintain full pin-to-pin compatibility, enabling scalable design reuse across product tiers without PCB redesign.
