Product details
Overview
R5F2L368CDFP#31 from Renesas is a 16-bit R8C/L36C Group microcontroller featuring the R8C CPU core, 64 KB flash program memory, 1 KB × 4 data flash with background operation (BGO), and 8 KB RAM. It operates at up to 20 MHz (VCC = 2.7–5.5 V), integrates 52 programmable CMOS I/O ports (including 8 high-current drive pins), and supports LCD drive (up to 8 common/32 segment outputs) for embedded appliance control.
For engineers reviewing the R5F2L368CDFP#31 datasheet, R5F2L368CDFP#31 pinout, R5F2L368CDFP#31 application, or R5F2L368CDFP#31 equivalent, key selection criteria include its D-version industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), integrated LIN module (using Timer RA and UART0), 10-bit × 10-channel A/D converter with sweep mode, and LQFP-64 package with 0.50 mm pitch.
Technical Context
The R5F2L368CDFP#31 implements the R8C CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions and hardware multiplier (16 × 16 → 32 bits), enabling efficient real-time signal processing in resource-constrained systems. Its clock system includes four independent sources: XIN oscillator (up to 20 MHz), XCIN 32 kHz crystal circuit, high-speed on-chip oscillator (frequency-adjustable), and low-speed on-chip oscillator - all selectable via software-controlled frequency divider (1/2/4/8/16).
Peripheral integration centers on mixed-signal timing and interface functions: Timer RD provides three-phase complementary PWM (6-pin output), Timer RC delivers 3-pin PWM, UART0/1/2 support LIN and I²C-bus modes, and the DTC enables autonomous data transfers triggered by 38 sources including ADC completion and serial receive events.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar MCU applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F2L368CNFP | N-version (-20°C to +85°C); identical memory, peripherals, and pinout | Suitable for consumer-grade indoor applications without extended thermal requirements | Select when operating ambient stays above −20°C and cost sensitivity outweighs industrial qualification needs |
| R5F2L388CDFP | L38C Group: adds 6 extra A/D channels (16 total), 12 more I/O pins (68 total), and 8-segment LCD expansion | Required for designs needing higher analog channel count or larger display (48 segments) | Choose only if additional A/D or I/O resources are essential - increases PCB area and cost without benefit for L36C-targeted designs |
Compared with R5F2L368CNFP, the R5F2L368CDFP#31 offers guaranteed operation down to −40°C and same-pinout compatibility, making it the direct industrial upgrade; versus R5F2L388CDFP, it provides optimal resource alignment for mid-tier appliance UIs without over-provisioning I/O or A/D capacity.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F2L368CDFP#31 and under what voltage conditions?
The R5F2L368CDFP#31 achieves a maximum operating frequency of 20 MHz when supplied with VCC between 2.7 V and 5.5 V. At lower supply voltages (1.8 V to 5.5 V), the maximum frequency is reduced to 5 MHz to ensure stable operation. This dual-frequency capability allows flexible power/performance trade-offs in battery-powered or wide-input-range designs, and the R5F2L368CDFP#31's internal frequency divider supports clock scaling without external components.
Does the R5F2L368CDFP#31 support in-system programming and field firmware updates?
Yes, the R5F2L368CDFP#31 supports full in-system programming via its on-chip debug interface and includes background operation (BGO) functionality for data flash. This allows application code to execute while reprogramming the 1 KB × 4 data flash blocks - enabling safe, atomic firmware updates without system reset or interruption. The R5F2L368CDFP#31 also features ROM code protection and ID code check to secure intellectual property during field deployment.
How many analog input channels does the R5F2L368CDFP#31 provide, and what resolution do they offer?
The R5F2L368CDFP#31 integrates a 10-bit successive-approximation A/D converter with 10 dedicated analog input channels (AN0–AN9), all supported by sample-and-hold circuitry and hardware-triggered sweep mode. This configuration enables rapid, synchronized sampling across multiple sensors - essential for motor current monitoring or multi-zone temperature control. The R5F2L368CDFP#31's A/D module operates independently of CPU execution, reducing jitter and improving measurement consistency.
What LCD display capabilities does the R5F2L368CDFP#31 support, and how are they implemented?
The R5F2L368CDFP#31 supports static and multiplexed LCD displays with up to 8 common outputs and 32 segment outputs, configurable for 1/2, 1/3, or 1/4 bias and static, 1/2–1/8 duty cycles. It integrates dedicated VL1–VL4 voltage supply pins and CL1/CL2 clock inputs, eliminating external bias generators. The R5F2L368CDFP#31's LCD controller operates autonomously using internal timing, freeing the CPU for other tasks while maintaining flicker-free display updates.
Is the R5F2L368CDFP#31 pin-compatible with other members of the R8C/L3x series?
The R5F2L368CDFP#31 uses the PLQP0064KB-A package (64-pin LQFP) and shares identical pin assignments with all other R8C/L36C Group devices, including R5F2L367CDFP and R5F2L36ACDFP. However, it is not pin-compatible with R8C/L35C (52-pin), L38C (80-pin), or L3AC (100-pin) Group variants due to differing package sizes and I/O counts. The R5F2L368CDFP#31's pinout is fully documented in Figure 1.10 of the R01DS0095EJ0101 datasheet.
