For engineers reviewing the R5F564MLGDLK#21 datasheet, R5F564MLGDLK#21 pinout, R5F564MLGDLK#21 application, or R5F564MLGDLK#21 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping to PLQP0176KB-A (176-pin LFBGA), validated pin functions, real-world use cases in industrial automation and edge gateways, and two confirmed alternative MCUs with documented functional and packaging differences.
Technical Context
The R5F564MLGDLK#21 implements the RXv2 CPU core with CISC Harvard architecture, 5-stage pipeline, and variable-length instructions-enabling 240 DMIPS at 120 MHz while supporting IEEE-754 single-precision floating-point operations and dual MAC units. It integrates a memory protection unit (MPU), JTAG/FINE debug interfaces, and four low-power modes including deep software standby with 8 KB backup RAM.
Its clock system combines external crystal support (8–24 MHz), internal HOCO/LOCO oscillators, and PLL-based frequency synthesis-delivering independent clock domains: ICLK up to 120 MHz for CPU, PCLKA up to 120 MHz for Ethernet/USB/AES, and PCLKB up to 60 MHz for timers/ADC/DAC. The device features dual 12-bit A/D converters (8 + 21 channels), two 12-bit D/A channels, and hardware-accelerated AES/DES/SHA crypto engines.

The R5F564MLGDLK#21 operates at a maximum frequency of 120 MHz using the 32-bit RXv2 CPU core-a CISC Harvard architecture with 5-stage pipeline, variable-length instructions, and support for IEEE-754 single-precision floating-point operations. It delivers 240 DMIPS and includes dual multiply-and-accumulate units, a 32-bit multiplier, and divider. This architecture enables deterministic real-time execution essential for industrial control applications where R5F564MLGDLK#21 serves as the primary system controller.
Does the R5F564MLGDLK#21 support IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the R5F564MLGDLK#21 supports IEEE 1588 through its integrated PTP controller (EPTPC) linked directly to both Ethernet MAC modules. Timestamping is performed in hardware with nanosecond resolution, synchronized to the MII/RMII physical layer. The EPTPC block handles frame ingress/egress timestamping, clock correction algorithms, and best master clock selection-enabling sub-microsecond time synchronization across distributed nodes without CPU overhead. This makes R5F564MLGDLK#21 ideal for time-critical industrial networks.
What are the flash and RAM configurations of the R5F564MLGDLK#21?
The R5F564MLGDLK#21 integrates 4 MB of on-chip code flash memory with zero-wait-state access at 120 MHz, 512 KB of general-purpose SRAM (no wait states), 32 KB of ECC-protected RAM (SEC-DED), and 8 KB of standby RAM backed by VBATT. Flash supports background programming/erasing (BGO), and trusted memory (TM) protects blocks 8 and 9 against unauthorized readout. These resources allow R5F564MLGDLK#21 to host complex real-time OS, protocol stacks, and field-upgradable firmware images.
Which communication interfaces are supported by the R5F564MLGDLK#21 for industrial connectivity?
The R5F564MLGDLK#21 supports dual IEEE 1588-compliant Ethernet MACs (MII/RMII), full-speed USB 2.0 with battery charging detection (USBA), three CAN 2.0B modules (32 mailboxes each), nine SCI/SCIg/SCIh channels, four SCIFA interfaces with 16-byte FIFOs, two I2C buses (up to 1 Mbps), quad SPI, SD host interface (SDHI), and RSPI. This comprehensive suite enables R5F564MLGDLK#21 to serve as a protocol gateway bridging fieldbus, wireless, and cloud interfaces in a single chip.
Is hardware encryption available on the R5F564MLGDLK#21, and what algorithms does it support?
Yes, the R5F564MLGDLK#21 includes a dedicated hardware crypto engine supporting AES (128/192/256-bit keys), DES/T-DES, SHA-1, SHA-2 (224/256), and HMAC (160/224/256). These accelerators operate independently of the CPU, enabling secure boot verification, encrypted firmware updates, TLS handshake offload, and runtime data confidentiality-all without degrading real-time performance. This makes R5F564MLGDLK#21 compliant with IEC 62443-3-3 security levels for industrial devices.
