Product details
Overview
R5F523E6MGNF#20 from Renesas is a 32-bit RXv2 microcontroller optimized for high-precision industrial sensing, featuring a 24-bit delta-sigma ADC with 31.25 kSPS max sampling rate, ±5-V analog input range, 256 KB on-chip flash, 32 KB SRAM, and integrated excitation current sources (50–1000 µA) - deployed in weigh scales, temperature transmitters, and strain-gauge-based process instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the R5F523E6MGNF#20 datasheet, R5F523E6MGNF#20 pinout, R5F523E6MGNF#20 application, or R5F523E6MGNF#20 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 31.25 kSPS delta-sigma ADC performance at ±5 V full-scale, HWQFN-40 package constraints, CAN 2.0B interface compliance, and support for IEC 60730 Class B safety diagnostics including RAM test assistance and A/D self-calibration.
Technical Context
The R5F523E6MGNF#20 implements the RXv2 CPU core with 32 MHz max operation (64 DMIPS), single-precision IEEE 754 FPU, and memory protection unit - enabling deterministic real-time control in sensor signal conditioning firmware. Its dual A/D subsystem integrates an 8-channel 24-bit delta-sigma converter (DSADB) with fourth- to fifth-order sinc filtering and a separate 8-channel 12-bit SAR converter (S12ADE) for auxiliary measurements.
Timing and power management are tightly coupled: the low-power timer (LPT) operates during software standby using the 32.768 kHz sub-clock, while the independent watchdog timer (IWDT) uses a dedicated 15 kHz on-chip oscillator. The event link controller (ELC) enables autonomous peripheral chaining - e.g., MTU-triggered ADC conversion - without CPU intervention.

Applications
| Industrial Weigh Scales | Temperature Transmitters |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Digital load cell interface in platform scales and hopper weighing systems requiring <10 µV resolution and NTEP/ OIML certification. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary signal conditioner: digitizes mV/V bridge output via 24-bit DSAD, applies PGA gain, performs offset/gain calibration, and transmits via CAN. Use Value: 31.25 kSPS sampling with fifth-order sinc filtering achieves simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection and <0.001% linearity - meets Class III accuracy requirements. |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted 4–20 mA temperature transmitter for Pt100/Pt1000 RTD sensing in HVAC and process control loops. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Sensor interface MCU: supplies excitation current, measures RTD resistance with DSAD, computes linearized temperature, and drives 16-bit DAC for analog output. Use Value: Matched 50–1000 µA excitation sources (±0.2%) and 4 nV/°C PGA offset drift minimize thermal error - enables ±0.1°C accuracy over –40 to +85°C. |
| Strain-Gauge Pressure Sensors | Multi-Channel Process Analyzers |
|
Use Scenario: High-stability pressure transducer for hydraulic system monitoring where long-term zero drift must be <0.05% FS/year. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision analog front-end controller: conditions Wheatstone bridge output, performs auto-zero calibration using DSAD's background mode, and logs drift compensation data to data flash. Use Value: On-chip excitation current sources with 5 ppm/°C drift matching and DSAD reference voltage fault detection ensure metrological traceability without external references. |
Use Scenario: Compact water quality analyzer measuring pH, ORP, and conductivity across four electrochemical sensors in wastewater treatment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Multi-sensor hub MCU: sequences excitation and measurement across HVAIN channels, runs digital filters per sensor, and aggregates data for Modbus RTU over SCI. Use Value: Eight differential DSAD inputs + eight single-ended S12AD channels allow concurrent analog acquisition - reduces cycle time by 40% vs. sequential external ADCs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-precision sensing MCU applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F523E6MDNF#20 | Same HWQFN-40 package, identical 31.25 kSPS/±5-V DSAD spec, but G-version (–40 to +105°C) vs. D-version of R5F523E6MGNF#20. | Targeted at extended-temperature industrial deployments (e.g., engine bay sensors), whereas R5F523E6MGNF#20 is rated –40 to +85°C. | Select R5F523E6MDNF#20 only if ambient operating temperature exceeds +85°C; otherwise, R5F523E6MGNF#20 is functionally identical and cost-optimized. |
| R5F523E5MGNF#20 | Same package and temperature grade, but 128 KB flash / 16 KB RAM (vs. 256 KB / 32 KB), no LCD controller, and identical DSAD specs. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-firmware-footprint applications where dual-channel sensor processing fits within 128 KB flash. | Choose R5F523E5MGNF#20 when firmware size is ≤128 KB and no future feature expansion is planned; R5F523E6MGNF#20 provides headroom for OTA updates and safety libraries. |
Compared with R5F523E6MDNF#20, R5F523E6MGNF#20 trades extended temperature rating for lower cost and same core sensing capability; versus R5F523E5MGNF#20, it doubles flash/RAM to accommodate complex IEC 60730 diagnostics and multi-sensor fusion algorithms without external memory.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the 24-bit delta-sigma ADC in R5F523E6MGNF#20?
The R5F523E6MGNF#20 supports a maximum delta-sigma ADC sampling rate of 31.25 kSPS at ±5-V input range. This rate is achieved with fourth- or fifth-order sinc filtering and enables simultaneous 50/60 Hz noise rejection - critical for stable measurements in electrically noisy industrial environments. The R5F523E6MGNF#20 does not support the 125 kSPS mode found in 'L'/'K'-suffix variants.
Does R5F523E6MGNF#20 include a built-in voltage reference for the ADC?
Yes, the R5F523E6MGNF#20 integrates a 2.5 V voltage reference with 8 ppm/°C temperature drift (–40 to +85°C) and ±10 mA output capability. This reference can be used directly by both the 24-bit delta-sigma ADC and the 12-bit SAR ADC. The R5F523E6MGNF#20 also supports external reference inputs for higher precision or ratiometric configurations.
Can R5F523E6MGNF#20 drive a 4-wire load cell without external components?
Yes, the R5F523E6MGNF#20 includes two matched excitation current sources (IEXC0/IEXC1) programmable from 50 to 1000 µA with ±0.2% matching and 5 ppm/°C drift matching - sufficient to directly bias 350 Ω or 1 kΩ 4-wire load cells. Its ±5-V HVAIN inputs accept the resulting mV/V output, and the rail-to-rail PGA eliminates need for external amplification in most cases.
Is R5F523E6MGNF#20 qualified for IEC 60730 Class B compliance?
Yes, the R5F523E6MGNF#20 includes hardware-assisted IEC 60730 Class B diagnostics: A/D converter self-test, clock frequency accuracy measurement (CAC), independent watchdog timer (IWDT), RAM test assistance via Data Operation Circuit (DOC), and analog input disconnect detection. These features reduce software certification burden for safety-critical industrial equipment.
What communication interfaces are available on R5F523E6MGNF#20?
The R5F523E6MGNF#20 provides CAN 2.0B (1 Mbps), six SCI channels (asynchronous/clock-synchronous/smart card), one I²C bus interface (up to 400 kbps), and one RSPI channel (up to 16 Mbps). It does not include an LCD controller or USB - consistent with its 'M' suffix designation for non-LCD, 31.25 kSPS, ±5-V sensing focus.
