FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the R5F572NNHGFP#10?

The R5F572NNHGFP#10 operates at a maximum CPU frequency of 240 MHz, achieved via its RXv3 superscalar core with six-stage pipeline and on-chip PLL. This frequency is fully supported across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +105°C) with appropriate power supply decoupling and thermal design. The R5F572NNHGFP#10 maintains deterministic interrupt latency and instruction throughput at this speed, making it suitable for hard real-time motion control loops.

Does the R5F572NNHGFP#10 include an integrated Ethernet PHY?

No, the R5F572NNHGFP#10 integrates only an Ethernet MAC compliant with IEEE 802.3u (10/100 Mbps) and IEEE 1588 v2. It requires an external PHY for physical layer connectivity. The R5F572NNHGFP#10 provides MII and RMII interfaces with precise timing control and hardware timestamping registers, enabling sub-100 ns synchronization accuracy when paired with a compliant PHY. This architecture allows flexibility in PHY selection for noise immunity, isolation, or PoE support.

What security features are implemented in hardware on the R5F572NNHGFP#10?

The R5F572NNHGFP#10 includes dedicated hardware accelerators for AES-128/256 (ECB/CBC/CTR/GCM), SHA-1/256, TRNG, and RSA/ECC key generation and signature verification. It also features a secure boot ROM that validates firmware signatures using SHA-256 + RSA-2048 before execution. These capabilities are accessible via Renesas' Secure IP driver suite and support IEC 62443-3-3 SL2 compliance. The R5F572NNHGFP#10 does not require external secure elements for basic OTA update security.

Can the R5F572NNHGFP#10 support simultaneous sampling across multiple ADC channels?

Yes, the R5F572NNHGFP#10's 12-bit ADC supports true simultaneous sampling on two independent groups (Group A and Group B), each with up to 16 channels. This allows synchronized acquisition of voltage and current waveforms in motor drive applications - for example, capturing all three-phase currents and DC-link voltage within a single conversion trigger. The R5F572NNHGFP#10's ADC achieves 1.0 MSPS aggregate rate with hardware-triggered start and DMA-driven result transfer to minimize CPU overhead.

What is the package type and pin count of the R5F572NNHGFP#10?

The R5F572NNHGFP#10 uses a 224-pin Low-Profile Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (LFBGA) package measuring 15 mm × 15 mm with 0.8 mm ball pitch. This package supports high-density PCB layouts required for industrial control applications with multiple high-speed interfaces. The pinout includes dedicated differential Ethernet I/O, dual CAN FD transceiver pins, and configurable GPIO with peripheral function multiplexing. The R5F572NNHGFP#10's LFBGA footprint is distinct from smaller RX72N variants like the 176-pin LFBGA (R5F572MLHDFP#10) and is not pin-compatible with them.
