For engineers reviewing the R5F571MLCDFP#V0 datasheet, R5F571MLCDFP#V0 pinout, R5F571MLCDFP#V0 application, or R5F571MLCDFP#V0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 176-pin LFBGA package, 240-MHz real-time performance with MPU and IEC60730 safety features, dual Ethernet MAC + PTP support, and hardware AES/SHA encryption for edge node security compliance.

Technical Context

The R5F571MLCDFP#V0 implements the RXv2 CISC Harvard architecture with 5-stage pipeline, variable-length instructions, and memory protection unit (MPU) for embedded safety-critical execution. Its clock system combines external crystal/resonator input with internal PLL, HOCO (16/18/20 MHz), and LOCO (240 kHz) oscillators - enabling independent domain clocks: ICLK up to 240 MHz, PCLKA up to 120 MHz (for ETHERC, USBA, AES), and PCLKB up to 60 MHz (for timers, ADC, UART).

It features dual Ethernet MAC modules with integrated IEEE 1588 PTP controller (EPTPCa) and dedicated 3-channel EDMAC, supporting MII/RMII physical layer interfacing and cut-through frame transfer between channels. The device includes two CAN modules (ISO 11898-1 compliant, 32 mailboxes each), four SCIFA interfaces with 16-byte FIFOs, and hardware-accelerated cryptographic engines (AES-128/192/256, DES/TDES, SHA-1/224/256, HMAC).

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency and DMIPS rating of the R5F571MLCDFP#V0?

The R5F571MLCDFP#V0 operates at a maximum frequency of 240 MHz and delivers 480 DMIPS performance. This is achieved through its optimized RXv2 CPU core with 5-stage pipeline and dual multiply-accumulate units. The R5F571MLCDFP#V0 sustains this performance with zero wait-state access to code flash up to 120 MHz and efficient instruction caching - enabling hard real-time execution in motion control and protocol stack applications.

Does the R5F571MLCDFP#V0 support IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol?

Yes, the R5F571MLCDFP#V0 includes a dedicated IEEE 1588-compliant PTP controller (EPTPCa) tightly coupled to both Ethernet MACs. It supports hardware timestamping of ingress/egress frames, transparent clock functionality, and synchronization message processing - all without CPU intervention. This makes the R5F571MLCDFP#V0 suitable for time-critical industrial Ethernet deployments requiring sub-microsecond clock alignment across distributed nodes.

How many Ethernet MAC interfaces does the R5F571MLCDFP#V0 integrate?

The R5F571MLCDFP#V0 integrates two independent IEEE 802.3-compliant Ethernet MAC modules, each supporting 10/100 Mbps operation in full- or half-duplex mode with MII/RMII physical layer interfaces. These MACs share no internal resource contention and support cut-through frame forwarding between channels - enabling true dual-network redundancy or protocol isolation in industrial gateway designs using the R5F571MLCDFP#V0.

What cryptographic accelerators are included in the R5F571MLCDFP#V0?

The R5F571MLCDFP#V0 includes hardware-accelerated AES (128/192/256-bit), DES/TDES, SHA-1/224/256, and HMAC engines. These operate independently of the CPU and support DMA-linked data transfers - enabling efficient TLS 1.2/1.3 handshakes, secure firmware updates, and encrypted data logging. The R5F571MLCDFP#V0's crypto subsystem is validated for IEC 60730 Class B compliance and supports key wrapping and secure boot verification.

What is the package type and pin count of the R5F571MLCDFP#V0?

The R5F571MLCDFP#V0 is housed in a PLQP0176KB-A package: a 176-pin Low-Profile Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array measuring 24 mm × 24 mm with 0.5 mm ball pitch. This LFBGA package supports high-density routing for dual Ethernet, USB, CAN, and memory interfaces - and is qualified for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). The R5F571MLCDFP#V0's 127 general-purpose I/O pins include 19 with 5-V tolerance and configurable pull-up/open-drain drive.
