Product details
Overview
R5F2L3A7BNFA#U1 from Renesas Electronics is an 88-pin LQFP 16-bit R8C/L3AA Group microcontroller with 48 KB flash ROM, 6 KB RAM, and integrated LCD controller supporting up to 8 common and 56 segment outputs. It features a 20 MHz max operating frequency (VCC = 2.7–5.5 V), 10-bit × 20-channel ADC, dual 8-bit DACs, and real-time clock (Timer RE) for household appliance control and industrial HMI applications.
For engineers reviewing the R5F2L3A7BNFA#U1 datasheet, R5F2L3A7BNFA#U1 pinout, R5F2L3A7BNFA#U1 application, or R5F2L3A7BNFA#U1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40°C to +85°C D-version temperature rating, background operation (BGO) data flash capability, LIN bus hardware support via UART0+Timer RA, and low-power stop mode (2 µA typical).
Technical Context
The R5F2L3A7BNFA#U1 implements the R8C CPU core with 89 fundamental instructions and a 16×16→32-bit hardware multiplier. Its memory subsystem includes 48 KB program flash (1,000 write/erase cycles) and 6 KB SRAM, with no data flash-distinguishing it from A-variant groups (e.g., R8C/L35A) that include 1 KB × 4 blocks with BGO.
It integrates eight peripheral timer modules (RA–RG), dual UARTs (UART0/UART1), I²C-bus/Synchronous Serial Unit (SSU), hardware LIN, 10-bit 20-channel ADC with sweep mode, two 8-bit DACs, dual comparators, and a full-featured LCD controller with integrated voltage multiplier and regulator-enabling direct drive of multiplexed LCDs up to 8×56 segments.

Does R5F2L3A7BNFA#U1 include data flash memory?
No, R5F2L3A7BNFA#U1 does not include data flash memory. As a B-group variant (R8C/L3AB), it omits the 1 KB × 4 data flash with background operation (BGO) found in A-group parts like R5F2L357ANFP. Its 48 KB program flash supports 1,000 erase cycles but lacks dedicated data storage with BGO capability.
Which package type is used for R5F2L3A7BNFA#U1?
R5F2L3A7BNFA#U1 uses a 100-pin LQFP package (PLQP0100KB-A), measuring 14 mm × 14 mm with 0.5 mm pitch and an exposed thermal pad. This matches the R8C/L3AA Group package designation confirmed in Table 1.12 and Figure 1.16 of Renesas document REJ03B0243-0030.
Can R5F2L3A7BNFA#U1 drive a 8×56 segment LCD directly?
Yes, R5F2L3A7BNFA#U1 integrates a full LCD controller supporting up to 8 common and 56 segment outputs, with on-chip voltage multiplier and regulator supplying VL1–VL4. No external bias IC or charge pump is required, enabling direct drive of large-segment displays typical in premium home appliances.
What communication interfaces are supported by R5F2L3A7BNFA#U1?
R5F2L3A7BNFA#U1 supports UART0 and UART1 (clock-synchronous serial I/O/UART), UART2 with I²C-bus mode, Synchronous Serial Unit (SSU), hardware LIN (using UART0 + Timer RA), and I²C-bus (shared with SSU). These interfaces enable connectivity to sensors, displays, and distributed control nodes in appliance systems.
