FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the R7F7010213AFP#KA4 CPU core?

The R7F7010213AFP#KA4 features the RH850 G3KH CPU core running at a maximum frequency of 200 MHz. This clock speed is achieved using an internal PLL with external crystal input (4–20 MHz). The core maintains deterministic execution timing critical for automotive control loops, and all timing specifications-including interrupt latency and memory access-are guaranteed at this frequency under AEC-Q100 Grade 1 conditions (–40°C to +125°C).

Does the R7F7010213AFP#KA4 support CAN FD, and what data rates does it achieve?

Yes, the R7F7010213AFP#KA4 integrates four fully independent CAN FD controllers compliant with ISO 11898-1:2015. Each controller supports arbitration phase bit rates up to 1 Mbps and data phase bit rates up to 5 Mbps. Hardware features include automatic bit-rate switching, flexible data-length configuration (up to 64 bytes), and built-in loopback test mode for validation-enabling robust vehicle network communication in modern E/E architectures.

What functional safety certifications apply to the R7F7010213AFP#KA4?

The R7F7010213AFP#KA4 is certified to ASIL-B per ISO 26262:2018 Part 5 and qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C). It includes hardware safety mechanisms such as dual-lockstep CPU execution, ECC on flash and SRAM, memory BIST, windowed watchdog timers, and safety library (FSP-Safe) for diagnostic coverage. These features enable use in safety-critical powertrain and chassis applications without requiring external safety monitors.

How much on-chip flash and RAM does the R7F7010213AFP#KA4 provide?

The R7F7010213AFP#KA4 includes 1.5 MB of on-chip flash memory with ECC protection and 256 KB of SRAM with ECC and parity checking. Flash supports background read-while-write (BRWW) and sector erase with wear leveling, while SRAM provides low-latency access for real-time control variables and stack operations-all verified across the full temperature range per AEC-Q100 requirements.

Is the R7F7010213AFP#KA4 pin-compatible with other RH850/F1KH variants?

The R7F7010213AFP#KA4 uses a 176-pin LQFP package shared with several RH850/F1KH-D8 variants, including R7F7010223AFP#KA4. Pin assignments for power, reset, clocks, JTAG, CAN FD, ADC, and general-purpose I/O are identical across these variants. However, some alternative function pins (e.g., SENT, LIN, or specific PWM outputs) may differ in availability or mapping-always verify against the official RH850/F1KH-D8 pin list before board reuse.
