Product details
Overview
R5F52318BDNE#20 from Renesas is a 32-bit RXv2 microcontroller with 54 MHz max operating frequency, 512 KB on-chip flash memory, 64 KB SRAM, and integrated FPU compliant to IEEE 754. It features USB 2.0 full-speed host/function/OTG, CAN 2.0B (1 Mbps), 24-channel 12-bit A/D converter (0.83 µs conversion time), and capacitive touch sensing unit supporting up to 24 self-capacitance keys - deployed in industrial HMI and smart sensor edge nodes.
For engineers reviewing the R5F52318BDNE#20 datasheet, R5F52318BDNE#20 pinout, R5F52318BDNE#20 application, or R5F52318BDNE#20 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 48-pin HWQFN (7 × 7 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) package, −40 to +85°C temperature grade, absence of SDHI and CAN modules per package-specific configuration, and support for TSIP-Lite encryption with AES-128/256.
Technical Context
The R5F52318BDNE#20 implements the RXv2 CPU core with Harvard architecture, 5-stage pipeline, and variable-length instructions enabling 88.56 DMIPS at 54 MHz. It integrates an IEEE 754-compliant single-precision FPU, 32-bit multiplier, and 32-bit divider with two-cycle minimum execution.
Its peripheral set includes four-channel DMAC, event link controller (ELC) for interrupt-free module triggering, and dual 16-bit timer units (MTU2a and TPUa) supporting PWM, input capture, and phase counting - all synchronized to configurable PCLK domains (up to 54 MHz for MTU2a and S12AD).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 32-bit MCU applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F52318ADNE#U0 | No TSIP-Lite security engine; identical package, memory, and peripheral set otherwise | Unsecured firmware deployment; suitable for cost-sensitive consumer devices without data confidentiality needs | Select when cryptographic acceleration and key protection are unnecessary and BOM cost reduction is prioritized |
| R5F52317BDNE#U0 | 384 KB flash, 32 KB SRAM, same peripherals and package; lacks USB-dedicated PLL for 48 MHz clock generation | Lower memory footprint suffices for simpler control tasks; USB full-speed operation requires external clock source or reduced tolerance | Choose when application code size fits within 384 KB and USB timing margin allows non-PLL clock sourcing |
Compared with R5F52318BDNE#20, R5F52318ADNE#U0 removes hardware encryption but retains identical performance and I/O, while R5F52317BDNE#U0 reduces memory and omits USB PLL - making R5F52318BDNE#20 optimal for secure, USB-dependent edge nodes requiring full 512 KB flash headroom.
