| Model | Flash | I/O | Package | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| R5F11MMFAFB#10 | 96KB | 59 | 80-LQFP | LCD + Analog-heavy designs |
| R5F11NMLFB#30 | 128KB | 78 | 100-LQFP | Higher memory needs |
Used in blood glucose meters due to its low power (<1µA in STOP mode) and integrated analog front-end.
Ideal for body control modules (BCMs) leveraging LINbus and robust -40°C to 85°C operation.
Per MarketsandMarkets, the low-power MCU market is projected to grow at 9.2% CAGR through 2027, driven by IoT and wearable demand. The R5F11MMFAFB#10’s analog integration positions it well for these trends.
Q1: What’s the difference between RL78/L1A and RL78/G1A series?
A: The L1A adds LCD control and enhanced analog (op-amps, 12b DAC), while G1A focuses on general-purpose use.
Q2: Can this MCU run FreeRTOS?
A: Yes, its 96KB Flash and 5.5KB RAM support lightweight RTOS implementations.
Q3: Is the LCD controller segment or dot-matrix?
A: Segment-type (up to 4x40 segments), per Renesas datasheet R01DS0275EJ0100.
Q4: How does DTC reduce power consumption?
A: The Data Transfer Controller automates peripheral data moves without CPU wake-ups, cutting active power by up to 30%.
Q5: What development tools are available?
A: Renesas provides the CS+ IDE and E2 emulator for debugging.
The R5F11MMFAFB#10 balances performance and power efficiency for embedded designs requiring LCD interfaces and precision analog. With Renesas’ proven RL78 architecture and growing ecosystem, it’s a strategic choice for healthcare, automotive, and industrial applications.
