Product details
Overview
R5F2L388CDFP#31 from Renesas is an 8-bit R8C/L38C Group microcontroller featuring the R8C CPU core, 64 KB program flash, 1 KB × 4 data flash with background operation (BGO), 8 KB RAM, and integrated LCD drive (up to 8 COM / 48 SEG pins). It supports 16-channel 10-bit A/D conversion, dual D/A converters, LIN hardware module, and operates from -40°C to +85°C in an 80-pin LQFP package - optimized for cost-sensitive consumer appliance control with embedded display interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the R5F2L388CDFP#31 datasheet, R5F2L388CDFP#31 pinout, R5F2L388CDFP#31 application, or R5F2L388CDFP#31 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16-channel ADC resolution, 48-segment LCD drive capability, LIN bus support using UART0 and Timer RA, BGO-enabled data flash reprogramming during runtime, and compatibility with Renesas' E1/E20 debug interfaces.
Technical Context
The R5F2L388CDFP#31 implements the R8C CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions and a dedicated 16×16→32-bit multiplier for efficient signal processing. Its system clock generation includes four independent sources: XIN (up to 20 MHz), XCIN (32 kHz), high-speed on-chip oscillator (adjustable), and low-speed on-chip oscillator - enabling flexible power-mode transitions between standard, wait, stop, and power-off modes.
Peripheral integration centers on mixed-signal timing and interface functions: Timer RD provides three-phase PWM with complementary outputs for motor control; UART0/1/2 support UART, I²C, and LIN protocols; and the LCD controller integrates voltage multiplier and bias regulation for direct segment/common drive without external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum LCD segment count supported by R5F2L388CDFP#31?
R5F2L388CDFP#31 supports up to 48 segment output pins and 8 common output pins, enabling static, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, or 1/8 duty drive configurations. This allows implementation of up to 384 distinct segments (8 × 48) for alphanumeric or icon-based displays in appliances like microwaves and refrigerators - all managed by the on-chip LCD controller without external drivers.
Does R5F2L388CDFP#31 support hardware LIN communication?
Yes, R5F2L388CDFP#31 includes a dedicated hardware LIN module compliant with LIN 2.1, implemented using UART0 and Timer RA. This offloads protocol framing, checksum calculation, and synchronization from the CPU - enabling reliable communication with automotive body control modules or multi-node appliance subsystems without firmware-intensive bit-banging.
What debug interfaces are compatible with R5F2L388CDFP#31?
R5F2L388CDFP#31 supports Renesas' standard on-chip debugging via the FINE interface, fully compatible with the E1 and E20 emulators. Debugging includes breakpoints, watchpoints, memory inspection, and flash programming - all accessible through Renesas CS+ or e² studio IDEs without requiring additional debug circuitry on the target board.
Can R5F2L388CDFP#31 perform flash reprogramming during normal operation?
Yes, R5F2L388CDFP#31 supports Background Operation (BGO) for data flash, allowing erase and write operations to proceed concurrently with CPU program execution. This enables safe over-the-air or local firmware updates for parameters or calibration data without interrupting real-time control tasks - critical for uninterrupted appliance operation.
What is the operating voltage range and associated frequency limits for R5F2L388CDFP#31?
R5F2L388CDFP#31 operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V. At 2.7–5.5 V, it supports up to 20 MHz XIN clock (50 ns min instruction time); at 1.8–5.5 V, maximum frequency drops to 5 MHz (200 ns min instruction time). This dual-voltage/frequency profile ensures compatibility with both 3.3 V and 5 V legacy systems while maintaining low-power operation down to 1.8 V.
