Product details
Overview
R5F523E5ADFL#50 from Renesas is a 32-bit RXv2 microcontroller optimized for high-precision analog measurement in industrial sensor systems, featuring dual 24-bit delta-sigma ADCs (DSAD0/DSAD1), rail-to-rail programmable gain instrumentation amplifiers (PGA ×2), 2.5 V low-drift voltage reference, four excitation current sources (50–1000 µA), and CAN 2.0B interface. It operates at up to 32 MHz with 128 KB flash, 16 KB SRAM, and 8 KB data flash, supporting IEC60730-compliant diagnostics.
For engineers reviewing the R5F523E5ADFL#50 datasheet, R5F523E5ADFL#50 pinout, R5F523E5ADFL#50 application, or R5F523E5ADFL#50 equivalent, this MCU delivers verified 23-bit effective resolution at 7.6 SPS, ±0.2% excitation current matching, 10 nV/°C PGA offset drift, simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection, and hardware-assisted A/D disconnect detection - critical for load cell, RTD, and thermocouple front-end designs requiring metrology-grade accuracy and functional safety support.
Technical Context
The R5F523E5ADFL#50 integrates two independent 24-bit delta-sigma A/D converters with fourth-order sinc filters, each supporting differential inputs, programmable gain (×1 to ×128), and synchronized start via ELC. Its analog front end includes a 2.5 V reference (10 ppm/°C drift), bias voltage generator (VBIAS = (AVCC0 + AVSS0)/2), and four matched excitation current sources (±0.2% matching, 5 ppm/°C drift).
It implements the RXv2 CPU core with IEEE 754-compliant FPU, memory protection unit (MPU), and event link controller (ELC) enabling interrupt-free peripheral coordination - allowing MTU timers, DSAD conversion triggers, and CAN message transmission to be chained during deep sleep modes without CPU intervention.

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-precision analog measurement applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F523E6ADFL#30 | 256 KB flash, 32 KB RAM, same package and analog peripherals; higher memory for complex filtering or protocol stacks | Required when firmware exceeds 128 KB or real-time FFT/ML inference is needed alongside metrology functions | Select R5F523E6ADFL#30 if future firmware expansion or dual-role operation (e.g., sensor + edge analytics) is anticipated |
| ADS131M04IPBSR | Standalone 24-bit delta-sigma ADC (4 ch), no MCU, no PGA, no excitation sources; requires external processor and reference | Suitable only for designs where analog acquisition is isolated from control logic and timing-critical processing is offloaded | Choose ADS131M04IPBSR only when system architecture mandates separation of analog acquisition and host processing |
Compared with R5F523E5ADFL#50, R5F523E6ADFL#30 offers headroom for firmware growth while retaining identical analog performance and pin compatibility; ADS131M04IPBSR reduces integration but increases BOM count, layout complexity, and system-level calibration burden.

FAQ
What is the maximum effective resolution achievable with the R5F523E5ADFL#50's delta-sigma ADCs?
The R5F523E5ADFL#50 achieves up to 23-bit effective resolution at 7.6 SPS with gain = 1 and full-scale output data rate, verified per datasheet R01DS0330EJ0130. This is enabled by its fourth-order sinc filter, on-chip offset/gain calibration, and low-noise PGA (30 nVRMS @ gain = 128). Resolution decreases predictably at higher output rates - e.g., 20-bit at 15625 SPS - due to reduced oversampling ratio.
Does the R5F523E5ADFL#50 support simultaneous sampling across both 24-bit delta-sigma ADC units?
Yes, the R5F523E5ADFL#50 supports inter-unit synchronized A/D conversion start via hardware trigger from the Event Link Controller (ELC). This allows DSAD0 and DSAD1 to sample concurrently with sub-microsecond skew, essential for phase-coherent measurements such as voltage/current in energy meters or dual-axis load cell arrays.
What excitation current configurations are supported by the R5F523E5ADFL#50 for RTD or load cell bridges?
The R5F523E5ADFL#50 provides four independent excitation current sources (IEXC0–IEXC3) configurable from 50 µA to 1000 µA in discrete steps. They support 2-, 3-, or 4-wire RTD connections and full-bridge or half-bridge load cells. Current matching is ±0.2% and drift is 5 ppm/°C, enabling high-accuracy ratiometric measurements without external calibration.
How does the R5F523E5ADFL#50 handle 50 Hz and 60 Hz power-line interference rejection?
The R5F523E5ADFL#50 implements simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection in hardware via its fourth-order sinc filter when configured for output data rates of 10 SPS or 54 SPS. This eliminates the need for software-based notch filtering, reducing CPU load and ensuring deterministic latency - critical for real-time closed-loop control in industrial sensors.
Is the R5F523E5ADFL#50 pin-compatible with other members of the RX23E-A Group?
Yes, the R5F523E5ADFL#50 in the 48-pin LFQFP package (PLQP0048KB-B) shares identical pinout with R5F523E6ADFL#30, R5F523E5AGFL#30, and R5F523E6AGFL#30. All share the same analog peripheral mapping, GPIO assignment, and power/ground pin locations - enabling drop-in replacement for memory or temperature grade upgrades without PCB revision.
