Product details
Overview
R5F2L368CDFA#31 from Renesas is an 8-bit R8C/L36C Group microcontroller featuring the R8C CPU core, 64 KB flash program memory, 8 KB RAM, and 1 KB × 4 data flash with background operation (BGO). It delivers 50 ns minimum instruction execution at 20 MHz, integrates a 16×16-bit multiplier, and supports LCD drive (up to 8 COM / 32 SEG), 10-bit ADC (10 channels), dual D/A converters, LIN hardware interface, and low-power modes - designed for cost-sensitive, display-integrated consumer control applications.
For engineers reviewing the R5F2L368CDFA#31 datasheet, R5F2L368CDFA#31 pinout, R5F2L368CDFA#31 application, or R5F2L368CDFA#31 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 64-pin LQFP (0.80 mm pitch) package, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade, integrated LCD controller with VL1–VL4 bias pins and CL1/CL2 clock inputs, and hardware LIN channel using Timer RA and UART0.
Technical Context
The R5F2L368CDFA#31 implements the R8C CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions and a dedicated 16×16→32-bit multiplier supporting multiply-accumulate operations. Its system clock architecture includes four independent sources: XIN oscillator (up to 20 MHz), 32 kHz XCIN crystal circuit, high-speed on-chip oscillator (frequency-adjustable), and low-speed on-chip oscillator - all selectable via software and supported by oscillation stop detection and programmable frequency division (1/2/4/8/16).
Peripheral integration centers on mixed-signal control: Timer RD provides three-phase PWM generation (6-pin complementary/synchronous output), Timer RC and RG support PWM and input capture, UART0/1/2 offer UART/I²C/SSU modes, and the DTC enables autonomous data transfers triggered by 38 sources. The device uses a single-chip mode with 1 Mbyte address space and includes voltage detection (power-on reset + dual-level VDD monitoring).

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and supply voltage range for the R5F2L368CDFA#31?
The R5F2L368CDFA#31 operates at up to 20 MHz when supplied at 2.7–5.5 V, and supports reduced-frequency operation down to 5 MHz at 1.8–5.5 V. Its minimum instruction execution time is 50 ns under 20 MHz/5.0 V conditions, enabling responsive real-time control in display and sensor applications where the R5F2L368CDFA#31 serves as the primary system controller.
Does the R5F2L368CDFA#31 support hardware LIN communication, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the R5F2L368CDFA#31 includes a dedicated hardware LIN module compliant with LIN 2.1 and SAE J2602 standards. It uses UART0 for serial framing and Timer RA for precise baud rate generation and synchronization - eliminating software-based bit-banging and ensuring robust communication with motors, sensors, or displays in automotive and appliance networks where the R5F2L368CDFA#31 acts as a LIN slave node.
How many LCD segment and common outputs does the R5F2L368CDFA#31 support, and what bias/duty options are available?
The R5F2L368CDFA#31 supports up to 32 segment outputs and 8 common outputs, with configurable bias (1/2, 1/3, 1/4) and duty (static, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/8) modes. This enables direct drive of alphanumeric or custom segment displays in appliances and office equipment - a key capability distinguishing the R5F2L368CDFA#31 from non-LCD MCUs in the R8C family.
What low-power modes are available on the R5F2L368CDFA#31, and what is the typical current consumption in stop mode?
The R5F2L368CDFA#31 offers wait, stop, and power-off modes. In stop mode at 3.0 V with 32 kHz sub-clock active, typical current consumption is 2 µA - sufficient to maintain real-time clock operation while minimizing battery drain in always-on display or sensor nodes where the R5F2L368CDFA#31 manages periodic wake-up events.
Is background operation (BGO) supported for data flash writes on the R5F2L368CDFA#31, and what is its practical benefit?
Yes, the R5F2L368CDFA#31 supports background operation (BGO) for data flash, allowing simultaneous CPU code execution and flash erase/write cycles. This enables safe, uninterrupted firmware updates, parameter storage, or calibration data logging in field-deployed devices - a critical feature for maintaining system responsiveness in applications where the R5F2L368CDFA#31 serves as the sole controller.
