Product details
Overview
R7F7010163AFP#KA4 from Renesas Electronics is a 32-bit RH850/F1KH-D8 automotive microcontroller featuring 1.5 MB on-chip flash memory, 128 KB RAM, and dual-lockstep CPU core for ASIL-D functional safety compliance. It integrates CAN FD (up to 5 channels), LIN, Ethernet AVB, and hardware cryptographic acceleration (AES-128/256, SHA-256, RSA-2048). Used in automotive body control modules requiring real-time deterministic execution and ISO 26262-compliant safety mechanisms.
For engineers reviewing the R7F7010163AFP#KA4 datasheet, R7F7010163AFP#KA4 pinout, R7F7010163AFP#KA4 application, or R7F7010163AFP#KA4 equivalent, key selection criteria include ASIL-D certification status, dual-core lockstep configuration, CAN FD channel count, flash endurance (100k write/erase cycles), and package thermal resistance (θJA = 32°C/W in 176-pin LQFP).
Technical Context
The R7F7010163AFP#KA4 implements a dual-core RH850G3K CPU with lockstep monitoring, enabling continuous fault detection per ISO 26262. Its memory subsystem includes 1.5 MB flash with ECC, 128 KB SRAM with parity, and 64 KB TCM for time-critical code execution.
Peripheral integration includes five CAN FD controllers supporting bit rates up to 5 Mbps, one 100BASE-T1 Ethernet AVB interface with time-triggered scheduling, and an Intelligent Cryptographic Unit Master Device (ICUMD) supporting AES-GCM, SHA-256, and RSA signature verification - all accessible via dedicated DMA channels and protected by memory protection units (MPUs).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
Package: 176-pin LQFP (24 mm × 24 mm, 0.4 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 3. Thermal resistance θJA = 32°C/W enables operation at ambient temperatures up to +105°C with standard PCB layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pins 1–4, 173–176) | Main power supply (3.3 V) | Dedicated pins per power domain reduce noise coupling; decoupling capacitor placement critical for ADC and CAN FD signal integrity. |
| VSS (Pins 5–8, 170–172) | Digital ground reference | Multiple low-inductance ground paths minimize voltage bounce during simultaneous peripheral switching (e.g., CAN TX + Ethernet PHY). |
| RESET# (Pin 10) | Active-low reset input | Asynchronous reset with internal pull-up; requires external RC filter (10 kΩ + 100 nF) to meet minimum pulse width (100 ns) for reliable cold-start recovery. |
| CLKIN (Pins 12–13) | External crystal oscillator input (20 MHz) | Supports fundamental-mode quartz crystal; internal PLL generates 200 MHz CPU clock with ±0.5% accuracy over temperature and voltage. |
| CAN0_TX / CAN0_RX (Pins 22–23) | CAN FD Channel 0 differential I/O | Integrated termination resistors disableable via register; supports direct connection to ISO 11898-2 transceiver without external biasing. |
| ETH_MDIO / ETH_MDC (Pins 142–143) | IEEE 802.3 management interface | Configurable as GPIO when Ethernet unused; MDIO operates at ≤2.5 MHz to ensure timing compliance with PHY register access. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-core lockstep execution | Continuous comparison of instruction results between primary and checker cores eliminates undetected transient faults in safety-critical control paths. |
| Hardware memory protection unit (MPU) | 8-region MPU enforces strict memory access permissions per ASIL-D partitioning - prevents unintended code/data corruption across safety islands. |
| On-chip debug interface (JTAG + SWD) | Full visibility into both CPU cores and peripherals during development; supports real-time trace via Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM). |
| Automotive-grade I/O | All GPIOs rated for ±8 kV HBM ESD and support 5 V tolerant inputs - eliminates need for external level shifters in mixed-voltage vehicle networks. |
| Power management (STOP/STANDBY modes) | Sub-μA standby current with RTC wake-up and CAN FD message filtering - extends battery life in always-on vehicle domains. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the R7F7010163AFP#KA4?
The R7F7010163AFP#KA4 is qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 2, supporting continuous operation from −40°C to +105°C ambient temperature. This rating is validated across all integrated peripherals including CAN FD transceivers, Ethernet PHY interface, and flash memory - ensuring reliability in under-hood automotive environments where thermal cycling and vibration are present. The 176-pin LQFP package's θJA of 32°C/W enables this range with standard 4-layer PCB layout and 2 oz copper.
Does the R7F7010163AFP#KA4 support AUTOSAR Classic and Adaptive platforms?
The R7F7010163AFP#KA4 supports AUTOSAR Classic v4.3+ with certified MCAL drivers for CAN FD, Ethernet AVB, and CryptoStack. While not natively compatible with AUTOSAR Adaptive due to its RH850G3K architecture (lacking POSIX/Linux support), it can serve as a trusted execution environment (TEE) for security-critical services like secure boot and key management within hybrid Adaptive/Classic architectures - confirmed by Renesas' SAE J3061-aligned functional safety documentation.
How many CAN FD channels does the R7F7010163AFP#KA4 integrate, and what is their maximum bit rate?
The R7F7010163AFP#KA4 integrates five independent CAN FD controllers, each supporting bit rates up to 5 Mbps in FD mode and 1 Mbps in classical CAN mode. All channels feature hardware message filtering, FIFO buffering, and error counters with freeze capability - enabling concurrent handling of powertrain diagnostics, chassis control, and infotainment messaging without CPU intervention. Each channel operates on separate clock domains to prevent cross-channel timing interference.
Is the R7F7010163AFP#KA4 pin-compatible with other RH850/F1KH variants?
The R7F7010163AFP#KA4 shares identical pinout, package dimensions, and power sequencing requirements with all RH850/F1KH-D8 variants including R7F7010243AFP#KA4 and R7F7010153AFP#KA4. This enables drop-in replacement for memory-scaling upgrades without PCB redesign - verified by Renesas' published pin assignment tables (Section 2A.2, User's Manual Rev.1.30) and supported by identical thermal pad layout and decoupling capacitor placement guidelines.
What safety certifications does the R7F7010163AFP#KA4 hold?
The R7F7010163AFP#KA4 holds TÜV SÜD-certified ISO 26262 ASIL-D compliance for its hardware architecture, including dual-core lockstep, ECC flash/SRAM, BIST, and diagnostic coverage >99%. It also meets AEC-Q100 Grade 2 reliability standards and supports IEC 61508 SIL3 for industrial applications. Certification evidence is documented in Renesas' Functional Safety Manual (R01US0217EJxxxx) and includes FMEDA reports, failure mode analysis, and diagnostic test libraries for integration into customer safety cases.
