It targets industrial automation controllers requiring deterministic real-time I/O, secure firmware updates, and multi-protocol connectivity.

For engineers reviewing the R5F564MLDGFC#V1 datasheet, R5F564MLDGFC#V1 pinout, R5F564MLDGFC#V1 application, or R5F564MLDGFC#V1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 177-pin TFLGA package, dual Ethernet + USB + CAN coexistence, 120 MHz deterministic timing, on-chip AES/SHA crypto acceleration, and IEC60730 safety support for Class B compliance.

Technical Context

The R5F564MLDGFC#V1 implements the RXv2 CPU core with Harvard architecture, 5-stage pipeline, and variable-length instructions enabling 240 DMIPS at 120 MHz. It integrates dual independent Ethernet MACs (ETHERC) with IEEE 1588 PTP hardware timestamping via EPTPC and dedicated EDMAC channels - critical for time-sensitive networking in PLCs and motion controllers.

Its peripheral set includes three CAN modules (ISO 11898-1 compliant, 32 mailboxes each), USBA with 8.5 KB buffer and battery charging detection, and two 12-bit A/D units (8 + 21 channels) with self-diagnostic, disconnection detection, and timer-triggered conversion - all synchronized to separate PCLK domains (PCLKA up to 120 MHz, PCLKB up to 60 MHz).

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency and CPU performance of the R5F564MLDGFC#V1?

The R5F564MLDGFC#V1 operates at a maximum frequency of 120 MHz using the RXv2 CPU core and delivers 240 DMIPS of processing performance. Its single-precision IEEE-754 floating-point unit, dual multiply-accumulate units, and 5-stage pipeline enable deterministic real-time execution for industrial control algorithms. This performance level is confirmed in Renesas document R01DS0173EJ0120 Rev.1.20, Section 1.1.

Does the R5F564MLDGFC#V1 support IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol?

Yes, the R5F564MLDGFC#V1 includes hardware-accelerated IEEE 1588 support via its EPTPC (PTP Controller for Ethernet) block, tightly coupled to both Ethernet MACs (ETHERC). It provides hardware timestamping of ingress/egress frames with sub-microsecond accuracy and supports PTP slave, master, and transparent clock roles - essential for time-synchronized motion control networks. This is detailed in Section 1.1 and Figure 1.4 of R01DS0173EJ0120.

How many CAN interfaces does the R5F564MLDGFC#V1 provide, and what standards do they meet?

The R5F564MLDGFC#V1 integrates three independent CAN modules compliant with ISO 11898-1, each supporting standard and extended frame formats with 32 configurable mailboxes. These CAN interfaces operate at up to 1 Mbps and include built-in message filtering, FIFO buffering, and loopback self-test modes - validated in Table 1.2 and Section 1.1 of R01DS0173EJ0120 Rev.1.20.

What package type and pin count does the R5F564MLDGFC#V1 use?

The R5F564MLDGFC#V1 uses the PTLG0177KA-A package: a 177-ball, 8 mm × 8 mm TFLGA with 0.5-mm pitch and an exposed thermal pad. It provides 127 general-purpose I/O pins with 5-V tolerance, open-drain capability, and programmable pull-up resistors - as specified in the "Package Dimensions" section (page 159) and pin map (pages 112–116) of R01DS0173EJ0120.

Does the R5F564MLDGFC#V1 include hardware cryptographic acceleration?

Yes, the R5F564MLDGFC#V1 includes dedicated hardware accelerators for AES (128/192/256-bit keys), DES/TDES, and SHA-1/224/256/HMAC hash functions. These modules operate independently of the CPU, enabling secure boot, encrypted firmware updates, and TLS offload without impacting real-time task scheduling - documented in Section 1.1 "Encryption (optional)" and Table 1.1 of R01DS0173EJ0120.
