Product details
Overview
R5F2L387BNFP#U1 from Renesas Electronics is an 8-bit R8C/L38B Group microcontroller featuring the R8C CPU core, 48 KB program ROM, 6 KB RAM, and no data flash. It delivers 50 ns minimum instruction execution at 20 MHz (VCC = 2.7–5.5 V), supports 68 programmable CMOS I/O pins with 8 high-current drive outputs, and integrates LCD segment drive (up to 48 pins) and real-time clock functionality - deployed in industrial control panels requiring low-power, integrated display management.
For engineers reviewing the R5F2L387BNFP#U1 datasheet, R5F2L387BNFP#U1 pinout, R5F2L387BNFP#U1 application, or R5F2L387BNFP#U1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40°C to +85°C operating range (D version), 10-bit × 16-channel ADC, hardware LIN interface (using Timer RA and UART0), and support for wait/stop/power-off low-power modes with sub-µA current draw.
Technical Context
The R5F2L387BNFP#U1 implements the R8C CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions and a 16×16→32-bit hardware multiplier, enabling efficient signal processing in resource-constrained embedded systems. Its clock system includes four independent sources: external XIN (up to 20 MHz), 32 kHz XCIN, high-speed on-chip oscillator (with frequency adjustment), and low-speed on-chip oscillator - all selectable via software-controlled dividers (1/2/4/8/16).
Peripheral integration centers on mixed-signal control: Timer RD provides three-phase PWM with complementary output and reset-synchronous modulation; UART2 supports I²C-bus mode and multiprocessor communication; and the DTC (Data Transfer Controller) enables autonomous memory-to-peripheral transfers triggered by 38 sources - reducing CPU load during sensor data acquisition or display refresh cycles.
