Its minimum instruction execution time is 0.02083 µs at 48 MHz using the high-speed on-chip oscillator or PLL clock. This performance enables deterministic real-time control in motor and power applications while maintaining ultra-low power consumption of 50 µA/MHz.

Does the R7F101G8E2DLA#AC1 support DALI-2 communication, and how is it implemented?

Yes, the R7F101G8E2DLA#AC1 includes a dedicated digital addressable lighting interface (DALI) peripheral supporting DALI-2 master functionality. It integrates the physical layer and protocol timing logic, eliminating the need for an external DALI transceiver. The interface uses pins P00 (DALITxD0) and P01 (DALIRxD0) and supports standard DALI-2 commands including group addressing, scene storage, and fade time control - confirmed in Section 1.1 Features and Table 1-4 of the R01DS0432EJ0120 datasheet.

What are the memory resources available on the R7F101G8E2DLA#AC1?

The R7F101G8E2DLA#AC1 provides 64 KB of code flash memory (2 KB block size), 4 KB of data flash memory supporting background operation (BGO) and 1,000,000 write cycles, and 12 KB of on-chip RAM. Additionally, it includes 4 KB of FAA code RAM and 2 KB of FAA data RAM. These resources are specified in Section 1.1 Features and Table 1-4 of the R01DS0432EJ0120 datasheet and support complex lighting control stacks and real-time signal processing.

Which package type and pin count does the R7F101G8E2DLA#AC1 use?
