Product details
Overview
R5F2L38CCNFP#31 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit R8C/L38C Group single-chip microcontroller featuring the R8C CPU core, 128 KB flash program memory, 10 KB RAM, and integrated LCD drive control supporting up to 48 segment outputs and 8 common outputs. It delivers 50 ns minimum instruction execution at 20 MHz (VCC = 2.7–5.5 V), includes a 16×16-bit hardware multiplier, and targets embedded control in space-constrained consumer appliances with integrated display interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the R5F2L38CCNFP#31 datasheet, R5F2L38CCNFP#31 pinout, R5F2L38CCNFP#31 application, or R5F2L38CCNFP#31 equivalent, this MCU is selected for designs requiring high I/O count (68 programmable ports), on-chip data flash with background operation (BGO), real-time clock (timer RE), LIN bus support, and low-power operation down to 2 µA in stop mode.
Technical Context
The R5F2L38CCNFP#31 implements the R8C CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions and a 1 Mbyte address space, enabling efficient C-language execution and deterministic interrupt handling across 69 vectors. Its peripheral set includes timer RD (16-bit × 2) for three-phase PWM generation, timer RC for 3-pin PWM output, and UART0/UART1/UART2 with I²C-bus and LIN protocol support using shared hardware resources.
It integrates a 10-bit A/D converter with 16 input channels, two 8-bit D/A converters, dual comparators (Comparator B), and an LCD controller with internal voltage multiplier and bias/duty configuration (1/2–1/4 bias, static–1/4 duty). Power management includes four low-power modes (wait, stop, power-off, and standard) with selectable oscillators (XIN, XCIN, high-speed/low-speed on-chip).

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and supply voltage range for the R5F2L38CCNFP#31?
The R5F2L38CCNFP#31 operates at up to 20 MHz when supplied with 2.7–5.5 V, and supports a minimum 5 MHz operation down to 1.8 V. This dual-voltage capability enables flexible power design across battery-powered and line-powered consumer appliances while maintaining full peripheral functionality.
Does the R5F2L38CCNFP#31 support in-system programming and secure code protection?
Yes, the R5F2L38CCNFP#31 supports on-board flash rewrite via its on-chip debug interface and includes ROM code protect and ID code check features to prevent unauthorized readout or modification of firmware. These mechanisms are configurable during production programming and enforced at power-on reset.
How many LCD segments and commons does the R5F2L38CCNFP#31 drive, and what bias/duty configurations are supported?
The R5F2L38CCNFP#31 drives up to 48 segment outputs and 8 common outputs. It supports 1/2 and 1/3 bias, and static, 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 duty configurations. The integrated voltage multiplier and dedicated regulator eliminate need for external bias components in most implementations.
Can the R5F2L38CCNFP#31 operate in low-power modes while maintaining RTC and RAM retention?
Yes - in stop mode, the R5F2L38CCNFP#31 consumes just 2 µA while retaining full RAM content and continuing real-time clock operation via the 32 kHz XCIN oscillator. Wake-up is possible via external interrupt, key input, or RTC alarm, enabling rapid resumption of UI tasks.
Is the R5F2L38CCNFP#31 pin-compatible with other members of the R8C/Lx series, such as the R8C/L36C or R8C/L3AC groups?
No - the R5F2L38CCNFP#31 uses an 80-pin LQFP (PLQP0080KB-A) package, whereas R8C/L36C devices use 64-pin packages and R8C/L3AC devices use 100-pin packages. Pin assignments, I/O counts, and peripheral mappings differ significantly across groups; migration requires PCB redesign and firmware adaptation.
