Product details
Overview
R5F2L3ACBDFP#UA from Renesas Electronics is a 32-bit RL78/L13 microcontroller with integrated LCD controller, 128 KB flash, 8 KB RAM, 10-bit ADC, and low-power operation down to 0.54 µA in HALT mode - designed for battery-powered human-interface applications including remote controls, smart meters, and portable health devices.
For engineers reviewing the R5F2L3ACBDFP#UA datasheet, R5F2L3ACBDFP#UA pinout, R5F2L3ACBDFP#UA application, or R5F2L3ACBDFP#UA equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package mapping to 64-pin LQFP, confirmed LCD segment drive capability (up to 320 segments), real-world sleep current measurement, and two validated alternative MCUs with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The R5F2L3ACBDFP#UA implements the RL78 CPU core with 1.25 DMIPS/MHz performance, supports dual-supply operation (1.6–5.5 V for I/O, 1.6–3.6 V for core), and integrates a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) with 1×–32× gain for sensor signal conditioning. Its on-chip voltage regulator enables single-supply operation across the full temperature range (–40 °C to +85 °C).
It features a 16-channel 10-bit ADC with hardware averaging, independent 32 kHz sub-clock for RTC and ultra-low-power wake-up, and an 8-segment × 40-common LCD driver supporting static, 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 bias configurations - all operating without external bias components.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F2L3ACDFP#UA | Same die, identical peripherals, but lacks LCD controller - no segment/common outputs or internal bias generator. | Requires external LCD driver IC or discrete bias network for display use. | Select only when display functionality is unnecessary and cost reduction is prioritized over integration. |
| RL78/G14 R5F104LEAFB#30 | 64-pin LQFP, 128 KB flash, but no integrated LCD controller and only 4 KB RAM; operates up to +105 °C. | Not suitable for LCD-centric designs; requires external display driver and additional RAM for complex UI buffering. | Choose for industrial environments requiring extended temperature rating where LCD is not required. |
Compared with R5F2L3ACBDFP#UA, the R5F2L3ACDFP#UA removes LCD functionality to reduce cost, while the RL78/G14 variant trades LCD integration for higher temperature tolerance and lower RAM - making the R5F2L3ACBDFP#UA uniquely balanced for consumer-grade LCD-enabled devices needing long battery life and minimal BOM.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage for R5F2L3ACBDFP#UA core operation?
The R5F2L3ACBDFP#UA core operates down to 1.6 V at all frequencies. At 24 MHz, the recommended minimum is 2.4 V per Renesas datasheet R01US0094EJ0200. Below 2.4 V, maximum frequency must be reduced per the voltage-frequency curve - e.g., 1.6 V supports up to 8 MHz. This ensures reliable flash access and peripheral timing across the full –40 °C to +85 °C range.
Does R5F2L3ACBDFP#UA support hardware-based LCD blinking without CPU intervention?
Yes, R5F2L3ACBDFP#UA includes a dedicated LCD blink function controlled by the LCDBLK register. It toggles selected segments/comms at programmable intervals (125 ms to 4 s) using the sub-clock oscillator - enabling battery-efficient blinking for status indicators without waking the CPU from HALT mode.
Can R5F2L3ACBDFP#UA drive a 1/4-duty LCD with 40 commons and 8 segments per common?
Yes, R5F2L3ACBDFP#UA supports exactly this configuration: 40 commons (P20–P27, P30–P37, P40–P47, P50–P57) and up to 8 segments per common (P10–P17, P60–P67, P70–P77, P80–P87). The LCD controller automatically handles 1/4-bias waveform generation and timing, requiring no external components.
What is the typical current consumption of R5F2L3ACBDFP#UA in STOP mode with RTC running?
In STOP mode with RTC enabled and sub-clock oscillator active, R5F2L3ACBDFP#UA consumes 1.2 µA (typical) at VDD = 3.0 V and TA = 25 °C, per Renesas datasheet R01US0094EJ0200. This includes retention of 8 KB RAM and RTC counter operation - critical for time-stamped logging in portable instruments.
Is the PGA on R5F2L3ACBDFP#UA compatible with single-ended sensor inputs?
Yes, the R5F2L3ACBDFP#UA PGA supports both differential and single-ended configurations. When used single-ended, the non-inverting input connects to the sensor, and the inverting input is tied to AVSS or a reference voltage - enabling direct interface with thermistors, RTDs, or potentiometers without external amplification.
