Product details
Overview
R5F3640MDFA#UA from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit M16C/64 Group microcontroller featuring 256 KB on-chip flash memory, 16 KB RAM, and operation up to 20 MHz. It integrates UART, I2C, and 16-bit timer arrays for embedded control in industrial HMI and motor drive subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the R5F3640MDFA#UA datasheet, R5F3640MDFA#UA pinout, R5F3640MDFA#UA application, or R5F3640MDFA#UA equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100-pin LQFP package, 2.7–5.5 V supply range, integrated voltage detector with brown-out reset, and support for single-cycle instruction execution in selected modes.
Technical Context
The R5F3640MDFA#UA implements the M16C CPU core with 16-bit data bus and 24-bit address space, supporting both 16-bit and 32-bit arithmetic via register pairs. It features dual clock domains: main system clock (up to 20 MHz) and sub-clock (32.768 kHz) for real-time counter and low-power stop modes.
Peripheral integration includes three 16-bit timer arrays (each with capture/compare/PWM), two UART channels with framing error detection, one I2C interface compliant with standard/fast-mode, and 12-bit ADC with 16 input channels and programmable sampling time.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F3640MDFA#UA?
The R5F3640MDFA#UA operates at a maximum system clock frequency of 20 MHz, achieved using an external crystal (1–20 MHz) connected to XT1/XT2 pins or an external clock source. This frequency enables single-cycle instruction execution for most instructions, supporting tight real-time deadlines in motor control and industrial sequencing applications. The R5F3640MDFA#UA maintains full specification compliance-including timing margins and peripheral operation-across its entire −40°C to +85°C temperature range at this speed.
Does the R5F3640MDFA#UA support in-system programming of its flash memory?
Yes, the R5F3640MDFA#UA supports in-system programming (ISP) of its 256 KB on-chip flash memory via its on-chip debug interface (OCDS) or through user firmware using the built-in flash control module. Programming can be performed at standard VCC (2.7–5.5 V) without high-voltage assist, and erase operations are supported at block (1 KB) and chip levels. This capability allows field firmware updates and configuration changes without removing the R5F3640MDFA#UA from the target board.
What low-power modes are available on the R5F3640MDFA#UA?
The R5F3640MDFA#UA provides three hardware-supported low-power modes: Stop mode (CPU and most peripherals halted, RAM retained, wake-up via interrupt or RTC), Wait mode (CPU stopped, peripherals active, clocks running), and Subclock-only mode (only subclock domain active for RTC). Each mode reduces current consumption significantly-Stop mode draws less than 1 µA at 3.3 V-making the R5F3640MDFA#UA suitable for battery-backed applications like smart meters and remote sensors.
Is the R5F3640MDFA#UA pin-compatible with other M16C/64 Group devices?
Yes, the R5F3640MDFA#UA shares the same 100-pin LQFP package and pin assignment with other members of the M16C/64 Group that use the #UA suffix, including R5F3640MDFB#UA and R5F3640MDFA#V0. Pin functions-including I/O, peripheral mapping, power, and reset-are identical across these variants. This allows direct substitution within the same hardware design, provided firmware accounts for any differences in mask ROM content or factory calibration data.
What development tools are officially supported for the R5F3640MDFA#UA?
Renesas officially supports the R5F3640MDFA#UA with the E8a and E20 on-chip debug emulators, the CS+ (formerly High-performance Embedded Workshop) IDE, and the M16C/64 Group-specific device drivers and peripheral library. Renesas also provides the R5F3640MDFA#UA datasheet (REJ03B0216), hardware manual (this document), and application notes covering ADC calibration, PWM synchronization, and low-power mode implementation-all freely available on the Renesas website.
