Product details
Overview
R5F523E6KGNF#00 from Renesas is a 32-bit RXv2 microcontroller optimized for high-precision analog measurement in industrial sensor interfaces and metering systems. It integrates a 24-bit delta-sigma ADC with ±10-V input capability, rail-to-rail programmable gain instrumentation amplifier (gain = 1–128), 2.5-V low-drift voltage reference (8 ppm/°C), dual excitation current sources (50–1000 µA), and CAN 2.0B interface - all operating at up to 32 MHz on a single 1.8–5.5-V supply.
For engineers reviewing the R5F523E6KGNF#00 datasheet, R5F523E6KGNF#00 pinout, R5F523E6KGNF#00 application, or R5F523E6KGNF#00 equivalent, this MCU delivers deterministic real-time control, IEC 60730-compliant self-test support, and hardware-accelerated signal processing for load cell, strain gauge, and RTD-based measurement systems requiring <100 nV RMS noise and <5 ppm/°C gain drift.
Technical Context
The R5F523E6KGNF#00 implements the RXv2 CPU core with IEEE 754-compliant 32-bit FPU, 5-stage Harvard pipeline, and memory protection unit (MPU) - enabling deterministic execution of floating-point sensor compensation algorithms. Its analog subsystem centers on the DSADB module, synchronized to PCLKC (≤16 MHz), with fourth- and fifth-order sinc digital filters supporting simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection at 10–54 SPS.
Real-time coordination is handled by the Event Link Controller (ELC), which triggers ADC conversions, PWM updates, and D/A output without CPU intervention - critical for synchronized multi-channel acquisition in isolated industrial I/O modules. The device uses PWQN0040KD-A (40-pin HWQFN, 6 × 6 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) packaging with 13 GPIOs, 2 HVAIN pins rated for ±10 V, and dedicated analog supply pins (AVCC0/AVSS0).

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F523E6KDNF#00 | D-version (–40 to +85°C), same package and analog specs, lower temperature grade | Suitable for commercial/indoor equipment without extended thermal requirements | Select when ambient operating temperature does not exceed +85°C and cost sensitivity favors D-grade qualification |
| ADuCM3029BBCZ | ARM Cortex-M3 core, 12-bit SAR ADC (not delta-sigma), integrated RF transceiver, no ±10-V inputs | Better for wireless sensor nodes needing BLE/Mesh connectivity but insufficient for metrology-grade 24-bit acquisition | Choose only if wireless telemetry is mandatory and 24-bit DC accuracy is secondary to RF integration |
Compared with R5F523E6KGNF#00, the D-version R5F523E6KDNF#00 offers identical analog performance and pinout at lower cost for non-extended-temperature use, while ADuCM3029BBCZ trades metrology precision for wireless capability - making R5F523E6KGNF#00 the sole choice for applications demanding ±10-V input, 24-bit delta-sigma resolution, and IEC 60730 compliance in a 40-pin footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the 24-bit delta-sigma ADC in R5F523E6KGNF#00?
The R5F523E6KGNF#00 supports a maximum sampling rate of 125 kSPS for its 24-bit delta-sigma ADC (DSADB) when the modulator clock is set to 4 MHz. This rate is achievable with reduced digital filter order and is validated for applications requiring fast transient response - such as motor current monitoring - while maintaining effective resolution above 20 bits.
Does R5F523E6KGNF#00 include an LCD controller?
No, R5F523E6KGNF#00 does not include an LCD controller. The "K" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes the variant without LCD driver functionality, as confirmed in Figure 1.1 of the datasheet. This omission reduces die size and power consumption, making R5F523E6KGNF#00 optimal for sensor nodes where display output is handled externally or omitted entirely.
What analog input voltage range is supported by the HVAIN pins on R5F523E6KGNF#00?
The HVAIN0 and HVAIN1 pins on R5F523E6KGNF#00 support a true ±10-V differential input range, enabling direct connection to unconditioned industrial sensors such as load cells and strain gauges without external attenuation or level-shifting circuitry. This specification is guaranteed across the full –40°C to +105°C operating temperature range.
Can R5F523E6KGNF#00 operate from a single 3.3-V supply?
Yes, R5F523E6KGNF#00 operates from a single 1.8–5.5-V VCC supply. At 3.3 V, it supports full 32-MHz operation per the power supply vs. frequency table on page 6 of the datasheet. The analog section (AVCC0) must be supplied separately at 4.5–5.5 V for full DSADB performance, though S12AD operation is permitted down to 1.8 V.
How many excitation current sources does R5F523E6KGNF#00 integrate, and what are their key specifications?
R5F523E6KGNF#00 integrates two fully matched excitation current sources (IEXC0 and IEXC1), each programmable from 50 µA to 1000 µA in six discrete steps. They exhibit ±0.2% matching and 5 ppm/°C drift matching - critical for 3- and 4-wire RTD measurements where current source mismatch directly impacts temperature accuracy.
