Product details
Overview
R5F523E6KDNF#20 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), on-chip excitation current sources (50–1000 µA), and a low-drift 2.5-V voltage reference (8 ppm/°C). Operating at up to 32 MHz with 256 KB flash, 32 KB SRAM, and 8 KB data flash, it targets load cell, pressure transducer, and weigh scale systems requiring IEC 60730 compliance.
For engineers reviewing the R5F523E6KDNF#20 datasheet, R5F523E6KDNF#20 pinout, R5F523E6KDNF#20 application, or R5F523E6KDNF#20 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10-V analog input range, 125 kSPS delta-sigma sampling rate, integrated PGA offset drift (4 nV/°C), CAN 2.0B interface, and HWQFN-40 package with 5-V-tolerant I/Os - all critical for precision sensor front-end designs.
Technical Context
The R5F523E6KDNF#20 implements the RXv2 CPU core with IEEE 754-compliant single-precision FPU, 32-bit multiply-accumulate DSP instructions, and memory protection unit (MPU) for functional safety. Its analog subsystem centers on the DSADB module: a 24-bit delta-sigma ADC with fourth/fifth-order sinc filtering, simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection at 10/54 SPS, and programmable modulator clock (4 MHz typical).
Digital integration includes one CAN channel (ISO 11898-1, up to 1 Mbps), six SCI interfaces (asynchronous/clock-synchronous/smart card), one I²C bus (400 kbps), one RSPI (16 Mbps), and ELC-driven event-triggered operation enabling low-power synchronized peripheral sequencing without CPU wake-up.

|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Digital weighing system for tank-level monitoring in chemical processing plants, requiring 24-bit resolution and temperature-stable analog front end. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary sensor signal conditioner and controller: digitizes mV-level bridge outputs, performs linearization and temperature compensation, and communicates weight data via CAN bus. Use Value: ±10-V HVAIN inputs accept raw bridge signals directly; 4 nV/°C PGA offset drift ensures <0.01%FS error over –40°C to +85°C operating range. |
Use Scenario: Smart 4–20 mA pressure transmitter with HART protocol support for oil & gas pipeline monitoring. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Analog acquisition engine and system controller: conditions piezoresistive sensor output, generates 4–20 mA loop current via external DAC driver, and handles HART FSK modulation via SCI. Use Value: Dual excitation current sources (IEXC0/IEXC1) enable dual-sensor diagnostics; 1 ppm/°C PGA gain drift maintains calibration integrity across wide ambient swings. |
| Load Cell Signal Conditioners | Energy Meter Sensor Front Ends |
|
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted load cell amplifier with isolated RS-485 output for factory automation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision analog front end and real-time processor: acquires differential bridge signals, applies digital filtering (sinc⁵ + sinc¹), computes calibrated force values, and formats data for Modbus RTU transmission. Use Value: Simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection at 10/54 SPS eliminates mains interference without external notch filters; 125 kSPS oversampling enables high-speed transient capture. |

Use Value: On-chip 2.5-V reference (8 ppm/°C) serves as stable ADC reference and excitation source; BGO-capable data flash stores calibration coefficients with 1M-cycle endurance. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-precision analog microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F523E6BDNF#20 | Same 40-pin HWQFN package and 256 KB/32 KB memory, but limited to 5-V analog input range and no HVAIN pins | Suitable for lower-voltage sensor interfaces (e.g., 0–5 V thermocouple amplifiers) where ±10-V input is unnecessary | Select when cost-sensitive designs omit high-voltage bridge sensing and require identical footprint and firmware compatibility |
| ADUCM360BCPZ-RL7 | ARM Cortex-M3 core, 24-bit ΣΔ ADC (19.2 kSPS), integrated 4 mA–20 mA DAC, but no CAN or LCD support | Targeted at 4–20 mA loop-powered transmitters with minimal external components, lacking industrial fieldbus connectivity | Choose for ultra-low-power, loop-powered applications where CAN is not required and integrated DAC simplifies analog output design |
Compared with R5F523E6KDNF#20, R5F523E6BDNF#20 reduces analog input range but retains full pin compatibility and firmware portability, while ADUCM360BCPZ-RL7 trades CAN and flexible I/O for native 4–20 mA output and lower active power - making each optimal for distinct subsystem roles in industrial measurement architectures.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the 24-bit delta-sigma ADC in R5F523E6KDNF#20?
The R5F523E6KDNF#20 supports a maximum delta-sigma ADC sampling rate of 125 kSPS, achievable with modulator clock fMOD = 4 MHz and appropriate sinc filter configuration. This rate enables high-fidelity capture of fast transients in load cell or vibration sensor applications while maintaining 24-bit effective resolution at lower data rates (e.g., 3.8 SPS).
Does R5F523E6KDNF#20 support simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz line-frequency rejection?
Yes, R5F523E6KDNF#20 provides hardware-assisted simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection at specific output data rates: 10 SPS and 54 SPS. This feature is implemented in the DSADB digital filter block and requires no CPU intervention, making it ideal for AC-coupled industrial sensors in globally deployed equipment.
What are the voltage and temperature specifications for the internal 2.5-V reference in R5F523E6KDNF#20?
The internal voltage reference in R5F523E6KDNF#20 delivers a precise 2.5 V output with a temperature drift of 8 ppm/°C over the full operating range of –40°C to +85°C. It supplies ±10 mA and supports external reference input, enabling ratiometric measurements critical for sensor stability in varying thermal environments.
Can R5F523E6KDNF#20 drive a 4–20 mA current loop directly?
No, R5F523E6KDNF#20 does not integrate a 4–20 mA DAC or loop driver. It provides a 16-bit D/A converter (R16DA) for voltage output only. To implement 4–20 mA, an external op-amp/V-I converter (e.g., XTR115) must be used with the R16DA output and excitation current sources for sensor biasing - a common architecture in smart transmitter designs.
Is R5F523E6KDNF#20 pin-compatible with other RX23E-B variants in the same package?
Yes, all RX23E-B devices in the PWQN0040KD-A (40-pin HWQFN) package - including R5F523E6KDNF#20, R5F523E6BDNF#20, and R5F523E6MDNF#20 - share identical pinouts and mechanical footprint. Firmware and PCB layout are interchangeable across these variants, allowing seamless migration based on analog input range (±10 V vs. 5 V) or sampling rate (125 kSPS vs. 31.25 kSPS) requirements.
