R5F1007CANA#U0 Overview
An MCU (microcontroller) is a single-chip computer containing a CPU, non-volatile program memory (flash), volatile data memory (SRAM), and a rich set of on-chip peripherals such as timers, A/D converters, communication interfaces (UART, I2C, CSI/SPI), and general-purpose I/O. The R5F1007CANA#U0 belongs to the ultra-low-power microcontroller category, sitting at the lower end of the power-management IC hierarchy: MCU -> microcontroller -> embedded processor -> semiconductor. Compared with 8-bit MCUs, a 16-bit RL78 offers higher code density, richer peripherals, and better DMA support, while consuming less power than most Cortex-M0+ devices.
Key differentiating features include the true low-power platform (66 µA/MHz active, 230 nA STOP, 0.57 µA RTC+LVD), built-in safety functions that detect illegal hardware operation and support IEC/UL 60730 household appliance safety, on-chip data flash for parameter storage, a 32MHz on-chip oscillator, a 10-bit A/D converter, multiple serial interfaces (UART, CSI/SPI, I2C), and 16KB of flash used as data flash for EEPROM emulation.
The architecture pairs a 3-stage pipelined RL78 CISC core with 256-byte register banking, accelerating C code execution while the on-chip DTC (Data Transfer Controller) offloads peripheral-to-memory and memory-to-memory moves. Hardware CRC, a watchdog timer with dedicated on-chip oscillator, and illegal-memory-access detection provide a layer of functional safety that is rare in this price tier.
Typical applications include white goods and home appliances (washing machines, microwave ovens, refrigerators), battery-powered IoT sensors, HVAC thermostats, smart meters, industrial sensor nodes, and remote controls. The wide 1.6V-5.5V supply range and sub-µA standby make it well suited to energy-harvesting or battery-replacement products.
When designing with this device, allocate at least one decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF plus 10 µF bulk) per VDD/AVSS pair, place the 32.768 kHz crystal close to the X1/X2 pins if sub-µA RTC operation is required, and reserve the TOOL0 pin for an on-board debug header. Pin assignment is identical across RL78/G13 24-pin HWQFN family parts, simplifying PCB reuse.

Typical Applications
R5F1007CANA#U0 is suitable for 6 applications: White Goods and Home Appliances, Battery-Powered IoT Sensor Nodes, Smart Metering and HVAC Thermostats, Industrial Sensor and Control Modules, Remote Controls and Consumer Electronics, Healthcare and Wellness Wearables.
White Goods and Home Appliances
The R5F1007CANA#U0 targets white-goods motor and user-interface control because of its IEC/UL 60730 hardware safety functions (illegal-memory-access detection, hardware CRC, watchdog with dedicated oscillator). At 32MHz it drives washing-machine UI panels, refrigerator temperature loops and microwave-oven keypads with the deterministic 16-bit RL78 CISC core. The 230 nA STOP current keeps standby power below 0.1W, helping designs meet Energy Star and EU 2019/2026 eco-directive limits. Wide 1.6-5.5V supply lets the MCU share the 5V or 3.3V rail of the appliance without an extra LDO.
Recommended
Battery-Powered IoT Sensor Nodes
With 230 nA STOP current and 0.57 µA RTC+LVD current, the R5F1007CANA#U0 enables years-long battery life on a single CR2032 cell. The 32KB flash stores protocol stacks (Bluetooth Low Energy beacon, LoRaWAN, Zigbee) and the 4KB data flash provides 100k-cycle EEPROM-like parameter storage. The 10-bit ADC and on-chip temperature sensor allow direct battery-monitoring and sensor readout without external components, reducing BoM cost and PCB area.
Recommended
Smart Metering and HVAC Thermostats
The wide 1.6-5.5V supply accepts metering-rail batteries and 24VAC thermostat inputs after rectification. Hardware CRC, watchdog timer and IEC/UL 60730 features shorten certification for utility meters. The R5F1007CANA#U0's 32KB flash fits IPv4/6-over-PLC protocol stacks plus tariff tables, while the 16-channel 10-bit ADC reads temperature sensors, CT current shunts and optical tamper detectors directly - no external ADC required for typical HVAC thermostat designs.
Recommended
Industrial Sensor and Control Modules
The R5F1007CANA#U0 is well suited to industrial 4-20mA loop-powered sensors and small PLC I/O modules because of its robust -40 to +85°C industrial temperature range and on-chip DTC (Data Transfer Controller) that offloads ADC-to-memory and SPI-to-memory transfers without CPU intervention. The 32KB flash stores PID control code and calibration tables, and the 24-pin HWQFN (4x4 mm) keeps module footprint under 16 mm², ideal for DIN-rail-mounted sensor heads.
Recommended
Remote Controls and Consumer Electronics
Remote controls benefit from the R5F1007CANA#U0's 230 nA STOP standby, 32MHz CPU (fast key-scan response under 5 ms), and 24-pin HWQFN footprint that fits inside the slim AAA-battery compartment. The built-in 32MHz high-speed oscillator eliminates an external crystal for cost-sensitive designs, and the on-chip UART/CSI interfaces drive IR or 2.4GHz RF transmitter ICs directly. Battery-replacement cycles of 5+ years are achievable with alkaline AAA cells.
Recommended
Healthcare and Wellness Wearables
Low-power fitness bands and wellness wearables rely on the R5F1007CANA#U0's 230 nA STOP current to extend battery life beyond one year, and its 32KB flash stores BLE-beacon protocol, step-counter algorithm and user-profile data. The 10-bit ADC samples optical heart-rate or temperature sensors, while UART/SPI/I2C interfaces connect to accelerometers and BLE SoCs. The HWQFN-24 (4x4 mm) package fits inside 20 mm wristbands.

Key Differentiators
- Best-in-class 230 nA STOP current with RTC retained (vs R5F1007AANA#U0)
- IEC/UL 60730 hardware safety functions built-in (vs Generic Cortex-M0+ MCU)
- 1.6V to 5.5V wide supply in same package as memory-up variants (vs R5F1007DANA#U0)
Design Notes
Decouple VDD (pin 11) with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed within 3 mm of the pin, plus a 10 µF bulk capacitor on the same rail. For sub-µA RTC standby operation, add a 0.01 µF cap between VDD and the exposed thermal pad (EPAD) to stabilize the internal regulator. Estimated: with 32 MHz CPU at 3.3V, average draw is 66 µA/MHz × 32 MHz ≈ 2.1 mA active, well within a single LDO's capability.
The HWQFN-24 (4x4 mm) package has an exposed thermal pad (EPAD, pin 24) that MUST be soldered to a 2x2 mm copper pour on the top layer and stitched with thermal vias to the inner ground plane for proper heat dissipation. If the EPAD is left floating, the device may exceed junction temperature at full 32 MHz CPU load. Keep the EPAD copper area at least 1 square inch for reliable operation above 70°C ambient.
Do not exceed 5.5V on any pin - the absolute maximum VDD rating is 5.5V, and transients above this will damage the device. Add a TVS diode or 5.1V zener on VDD if the system is connected to inductive loads. The TOOL0 pin (pin 1) is shared with P130; if used as GPIO, ensure the on-chip debug is disabled in the option bytes to avoid contention with the debugger.
Place the 32.768 kHz crystal between X1 (pin 22) and X2 (pin 23) within 5 mm of the IC, with a ground guard ring around the traces to reduce stray capacitance. The internal RTC accuracy depends on crystal load capacitance (typically 7 pF); refer to the RL78/G13 hardware manual crystal selection table for matching parts.
Compliance Information
