Renesas RL78/G15
Low power & Low pin count 16-bit MCU for general purpose applications
Aren't you facing the following problems about 8-bit MCU? i.e. Built-in oscillators are not accurate enough, the number of available I/O ports is not enough and/or no product lineup with high operating ambient temperature suitable for placing near heat-generating components.
The RL78/G15 MCU, a new release of the RL78 family products, is designed to solve these problems.
Key features
- Extensive low pin count lineup with the smallest 8-pin package in RL78 family
- Operating ambient temperature up to 125°C
- All I/Os except power and GND can be used for I/O
- Built-in high-speed on-chip oscillator with high accuracy (±1.0%)
Additional features
- CPU: RL78 core, max. 16MHz
- Voltage: 2.4V to 5.5V
- Package: 8-pin to 20-pin
- Memory: Program flash: 4-8KB, SRAM 1KB, data flash 1KB
- Operating temperature range: up to 125°C
- Timer: 16-bit timer x 8ch, watchdog timer x 1ch, 12-bit interval timer x 1ch
- Analog function: 10-bit A/D converter x 11ch, comparator
- On-chip oscillator freq.:
- High-speed 1, 2, 4, 8, 16MHz
- Low-speed 15kHz
- Connectivity: SCI (CSI, UART, Simple I2C), I2C
- Others: Selectable Power-On reset, low voltage detection, on-chip debug 2.4V to 5.5V (single-wire, double-wire)
