Renesas R5F563NDCDFC#V0

Overview

R5F563NDCDFC#V0 from Renesas is a 100 MHz 32-bit RX63N Group microcontroller with integrated Ethernet MAC, single-precision IEEE-754 FPU, 1.5 Mbytes of on-chip flash, 128 Kbytes of SRAM, and 32 Kbytes of data flash. It features 134 general-purpose I/O pins (18× 5-V tolerant), hardware AES encryption (DEU), and operates from a single 2.7–3.6 V supply across –40 to +85°C. It targets industrial networking gateways requiring deterministic real-time control and secure connectivity.

For engineers reviewing the R5F563NDCDFC#V0 datasheet, R5F563NDCDFC#V0 pinout, R5F563NDCDFC#V0 application, or R5F563NDCDFC#V0 equivalent, this MCU delivers verified Ethernet MAC + USB 2.0 host/function/OTG + CAN + multiple SCI/I²C/SPI interfaces - all within a 176-pin LQFP (PLQP0176KB-A) package supporting full peripheral concurrency at 100 MHz.

Technical Context

The R5F563NDCDFC#V0 implements the 32-bit RX CPU core with 5-stage CISC Harvard pipeline, 165 DMIPS performance, and memory protection unit (MPU). Its clock system supports external crystal (4–16 MHz) with PLL up to 100 MHz, plus internal HOCO (50 MHz) and LOCO (125 kHz) oscillators for low-power RTC and IWDT operation.

It integrates dedicated DMA controllers: 4-channel DMAC, 2-channel EXDMAC, and a single-channel EDMAC for Ethernet offload. Peripheral timing is decoupled via independent clocks - ICLK (up to 100 MHz), PCLK (up to 50 MHz), FCLK (up to 50 MHz), and BCLK (up to 50 MHz) - enabling precise power/performance trade-offs in mixed-criticality applications.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency and core architecture of the R5F563NDCDFC#V0?

The R5F563NDCDFC#V0 operates at a maximum frequency of 100 MHz using the 32-bit RX CPU core with a 5-stage CISC Harvard pipeline. It delivers 165 DMIPS performance and includes a single-precision IEEE-754 floating-point unit. The core supports variable-length instructions, memory protection unit (MPU), and JTAG/FINE debugging interfaces - all confirmed in the R01DS0098EJ0180 datasheet Rev.1.80.

Does the R5F563NDCDFC#V0 include an Ethernet controller, and what interface standards does it support?

Yes, the R5F563NDCDFC#V0 includes a fully integrated Ethernet MAC compliant with IEEE 802.3, supporting 10/100 Mbps in full- and half-duplex modes. It implements both MII and RMII physical layer interfaces per IEEE 802.3u, and includes Magic Packet™ wake-on-LAN detection and IEEE 802.3x flow control - distinguishing it from the RX631 Group, which lacks Ethernet.

What are the memory resources available on the R5F563NDCDFC#V0?

The R5F563NDCDFC#V0 integrates 1.5 Mbytes of on-chip flash memory (accessible at 100 MHz with zero wait states), 128 Kbytes of SRAM (also zero-wait), and 32 Kbytes of reprogrammable data flash rated for 100,000 erase/write cycles. These values are explicitly listed in Table 1.3 of the R01DS0098EJ0180 datasheet for part number R5F563NDCDFC.

Which package type and pin count does the R5F563NDCDFC#V0 use?

The R5F563NDCDFC#V0 uses the PLQP0176KB-A package: a 176-pin LQFP measuring 24 mm × 24 mm with 0.5 mm pitch and an exposed thermal pad. This is confirmed in Table 1.3 of the R01DS0098EJ0180 datasheet, where R5F563NDCDFC is assigned to "PLQP0176KB-A" under the RX63N (D version) group.

What security and safety features does the R5F563NDCDFC#V0 provide for industrial applications?

The R5F563NDCDFC#V0 includes a Data Encryption Unit (DEU) supporting AES-128/192/256 in ECB/CBC modes, a CRC calculator with three configurable polynomials, oscillation-stop detection, independent watchdog timer (IWDT) with dedicated 125 kHz oscillator, and A/D converter self-diagnostic functions - all aligned with IEC 60730 Class B requirements for functional safety in industrial control systems.
