Product details
Overview
R5F523E5BDFL#50 from Renesas is a 32-bit RXv2 microcontroller optimized for high-precision analog measurement in industrial sensing applications. It integrates a 24-bit delta-sigma ADC with ±10-V input capability, rail-to-rail programmable gain instrumentation amplifier (gain = 1–128), 125 kSPS max sampling rate, 1.8–5.5 V single-supply operation, and CAN 2.0B interface compliant to ISO 11898-1 at up to 1 Mbps - enabling direct connection to strain gauges, load cells, and RTD/thermocouple signal chains.
For engineers reviewing the R5F523E5BDFL#50 datasheet, R5F523E5BDFL#50 pinout, R5F523E5BDFL#50 application, or R5F523E5BDFL#50 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 128 KB flash / 16 KB SRAM memory configuration, 48-pin LFQFP package with 5-V-tolerant I/O, integrated excitation current sources (50–1000 µA), low-drift voltage reference (2.5 V, 8 ppm/°C), and support for IEC 60730 safety diagnostics including A/D self-test and disconnect detection.
Technical Context
The R5F523E5BDFL#50 implements the RXv2 CPU core with 32 MHz maximum operation (64 DMIPS), IEEE 754-compliant single-precision FPU, and memory protection unit (MPU) for deterministic real-time control. Its analog subsystem centers on the DSADB module synchronized to PCLKC (up to 16 MHz), featuring fourth- and fifth-order sinc digital filters, simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection, and offset/gain error calibration.
Digital integration includes ELC-driven event-triggered A/D conversion, four-channel DMAC for zero-CPU-overhead data movement, and RSCAN CAN controller with 16 message boxes. Power management supports three low-power modes, including software standby with active low-power timer (LPT) driven by sub-clock or IWDT oscillator.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F523E5KDFL#50 | Same 48-pin LFQFP package and 128 KB/16 KB memory, but supports ±10-V analog input range (K suffix) vs. ±5-V (B suffix); includes LCD driver disabled. | Required when interfacing to ±10-V industrial sensors (e.g., 0–10 V output transducers) without external level-shifting circuitry. | Select R5F523E5KDFL#50 if full ±10-V input range is needed; R5F523E5BDFL#50 is optimal for cost-sensitive ±5-V designs with lower BOM overhead. |
| R5F523E5JDFN#50 | 80-pin LFQFP package (PLQP0080KB-B), same 128 KB/16 KB memory, supports LCD controller (J suffix), retains 125 kSPS DSAD and ±5-V input range. | Suitable for human-machine interface (HMI) enabled devices requiring local display (e.g., portable calibrators, handheld testers). | Choose R5F523E5JDFN#50 only when integrated segment LCD driving (40×4 COM/SEG) is required; R5F523E5BDFL#50 offers smaller footprint and lower power for headless sensor nodes. |
Compared with R5F523E5KDFL#50 and R5F523E5JDFN#50, the R5F523E5BDFL#50 delivers identical analog performance and CPU capability in the smallest 48-pin LFQFP package, making it the optimal choice for space-constrained, cost-sensitive industrial sensor nodes where ±5-V input range suffices and LCD is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the 24-bit delta-sigma ADC in R5F523E5BDFL#50?
The R5F523E5BDFL#50 supports a maximum sampling rate of 125 kSPS for its 24-bit delta-sigma ADC (DSADB). This rate is achievable with reduced resolution and specific filter configurations - for example, at 125 kSPS, effective resolution is ~16 bits, while full 24-bit effective resolution is attained at 3.8 SPS. The modulator clock is fixed at 4 MHz (typical), and oversampling ratio is programmable from 32 to 1,048,576 to balance speed and resolution.
Does R5F523E5BDFL#50 support IEC 60730 Class B compliance out of the box?
Yes, the R5F523E5BDFL#50 includes hardware-assisted self-test features required for IEC 60730 Class B, including A/D converter diagnostic routines, clock frequency accuracy measurement (CAC), independent watchdog timer (IWDT) testing, RAM integrity checks via the Data Operation Circuit (DOC), and analog input disconnect detection. These features reduce software validation effort but require proper initialization and periodic execution per the Renesas IEC 60730 application note R01AN4227.
What analog input voltage range does R5F523E5BDFL#50 support, and how is it configured?
The R5F523E5BDFL#50 supports a ±5-V analog input range on its HVAIN pins, as indicated by the "B" in the part number (per Figure 1.1). This is implemented using internal resistor dividers and clamping circuitry - no external attenuation is needed. For ±10-V operation, the "K" variant (e.g., R5F523E5KDFL#50) must be selected. Input range selection is fixed at manufacturing and cannot be changed in firmware.
Can R5F523E5BDFL#50 drive an LCD display?
No, the R5F523E5BDFL#50 does not include an LCD controller/driver. The "B" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes LCD functionality disabled (see Figure 1.1). Devices with LCD support use "J" (for 5-V range) or "L" (for 10-V range) suffixes. The R5F523E5BDFL#50 is optimized for compact, headless sensor nodes where display capability is unnecessary and board space is constrained.
What is the role of the excitation current sources (IEXC) in R5F523E5BDFL#50, and what are their specifications?
The R5F523E5BDFL#50 integrates two programmable excitation current sources (IEXC0 and IEXC1) for biasing resistive sensors such as RTDs and strain gauges. Each source delivers 50 µA, 100 µA, 250 µA, 500 µA, 750 µA, or 1000 µA with ±0.2% matching and 5 ppm/°C drift matching. They connect directly to the analog multiplexer (AMUX) and can be routed to HVAIN pins or internal PGA inputs - eliminating external current DACs and improving system accuracy.
