Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5F100PLAFB#30 | RL78/G13-based; lower Flash (64 KB), higher active current (120 μA/MHz), no dedicated TAU PWM outputs | Suitable for simpler control tasks where ADC channel count and PWM resolution are less critical | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for high-resolution motor control features |
| UPD78F1186AGJ(R)-GAE-AX | Same package and pinout; reduced Flash (96 KB) and RAM (6 KB); identical peripheral set | Matches UPD78F1187AGJ(R)-GAE-AX in all interface and timing roles but with smaller code/data footprint | Choose for legacy code migration or space-constrained firmware requiring <96 KB Flash |
Compared with UPD78F1187AGJ(R)-GAE-AX, R5F100PLAFB#30 offers lower power consumption but lacks TAU-based PWM flexibility, while UPD78F1186AGJ(R)-GAE-AX provides identical peripheral functionality with reduced memory-making it ideal for firmware-downsized variants of the same design.
