Product details
Overview
R5F523E5BDNF#20 from Renesas is a 32-bit RXv2 microcontroller optimized for high-precision analog measurement in industrial sensing applications, featuring a 24-bit delta-sigma A/D converter with 125 kSPS max sampling rate, ±5-V input range, 16-KB SRAM, 128-KB flash, and integrated programmable gain instrumentation amplifier (PGA) with rail-to-rail operation. It operates at up to 32 MHz, supports CAN 2.0B (1 Mbps), and targets weight scales, pressure transmitters, and process monitoring systems requiring low-drift analog front-end performance.
For engineers reviewing the R5F523E5BDNF#20 datasheet, R5F523E5BDNF#20 pinout, R5F523E5BDNF#20 application, or R5F523E5BDNF#20 equivalent, this MCU delivers calibrated 24-bit sigma-delta conversion, on-chip excitation current sources (50–1000 µA), ±10-mA low-side switch, and IEC60730-compliant self-test functions - critical for Class B safety certification in industrial instrumentation.
Technical Context
The R5F523E5BDNF#20 integrates a dedicated analog subsystem centered on the DSADB module, synchronized to PCLKC (up to 16 MHz), with configurable sinc filters (4th/5th order), simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection at 10/54 SPS, and hardware-assisted disconnect detection for HVAIN pins. Its RXv2 CPU core executes floating-point (IEEE754) and DSP instructions at 64 DMIPS, enabling real-time sensor linearization and digital compensation without external co-processors.
Power management includes three low-power modes (sleep, deep sleep, software standby), a low-power timer (LPT) running off the 32.768-kHz sub-clock during standby, and voltage detection circuits (LVDAb) with 14-level programmable thresholds. The ELC enables event-triggered peripheral operation - such as DSAD conversion start or MTU waveform generation - without CPU wake-up, reducing system power in battery-operated field devices.

Applications
| Industrial Weight Scale | Pressure Transmitter |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Digital weighing terminal measuring 0–100 kg with 1-g resolution under varying temperature and EMI conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary signal processor: conditions bridge sensor output via PGA and DSAD, performs temperature compensation, and communicates weight data via CAN. Use Value: 24-bit effective resolution at 3.8 SPS and ±4 nV/°C PGA offset drift ensure <0.01% linearity error across –40 to +85°C. |
Use Scenario: 4–20 mA loop-powered pressure transmitter for HVAC or process control with HART modulation capability. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Sensor interface MCU: digitizes piezoresistive sensor output, generates analog output via 16-bit DAC, and handles HART FSK modulation via SCI. Use Value: Integrated excitation current sources (±0.2% matching) and ±10-V HVAIN inputs eliminate external current drivers and level-shifting circuitry. |
| Temperature Monitoring Node | Flow Meter Signal Conditioner |
|
Use Scenario: Wireless battery-powered node monitoring multiple PT100 sensors in factory machinery.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-precision analog measurement applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F523E5NDFP | 100-pin LFQFP, 125 kSPS DSAD, ±5-V input, LCD driver included | Supports segment LCD display (40×4) - suitable for local HMI integration | Select when local display and higher I/O count (58 pins) are required; larger footprint increases PCB area |
| R5F523E5KDNF | Same 40-pin HWQFN package, but ±10-V HVAIN input range and no LCD | Enables direct connection to ±10-V industrial sensors without external attenuators | Choose for wider input range needs; trades off DSAD resolution margin for extended voltage headroom |
Compared with R5F523E5BDNF#20, R5F523E5NDFP offers more I/O and display capability at the cost of size and power, while R5F523E5KDNF extends analog input range but retains identical package and core functionality - making it ideal for legacy sensor retrofits requiring ±10-V compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the 24-bit delta-sigma ADC in R5F523E5BDNF#20?
The R5F523E5BDNF#20 supports a maximum sampling rate of 125 kSPS for its 24-bit delta-sigma ADC (DSADB). This rate is achievable with reduced effective resolution and specific filter configurations; at 3.8 SPS, it achieves 24-bit effective resolution with simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection. The modulator clock runs at 4 MHz (typical), and oversampling ratios range from 32 to 1,048,576 depending on data rate selection.
Does R5F523E5BDNF#20 include an integrated voltage reference?
Yes, R5F523E5BDNF#20 includes an on-chip 2.5-V voltage reference (VREF) with 8 ppm/°C temperature drift over –40°C to +85°C and ±10 mA output current. This reference can be used directly by the 24-bit DSAD or 16-bit D/A converter, eliminating the need for external precision references in most industrial sensor applications.
Can R5F523E5BDNF#20 drive a 4-wire RTD without external components?
Yes, R5F523E5BDNF#20 integrates two matched excitation current sources (IEXC0/IEXC1) with programmable output from 50 µA to 1000 µA and ±0.2% matching. Combined with its 24-bit DSAD, rail-to-rail PGA, and internal bias voltage generator, it supports direct 4-wire RTD measurement with full cold-junction compensation and linearization - no external current sources or op-amps required.
What low-power modes are supported by R5F523E5BDNF#20?
R5F523E5BDNF#20 supports three low-power modes: Sleep, Deep Sleep, and Software Standby. In Software Standby mode, the CPU and most peripherals halt while the low-power timer (LPT) continues operating from the 32.768-kHz sub-clock, enabling periodic wake-up for sensor polling with sub-µA quiescent current - critical for battery-powered field instruments.
Is R5F523E5BDNF#20 certified for IEC60730 Class B compliance?
R5F523E5BDNF#20 includes hardware-assisted features for IEC60730 Class B compliance, including self-diagnostic functions for the A/D converter, clock frequency accuracy measurement circuit (CAC), independent watchdog timer (IWDT), RAM test assistance via DOC, and analog input disconnect detection. These features reduce software validation effort but require system-level implementation per IEC60730-1 Annex H.
