Product details
Overview
R7F7016943AFP-C#KA1 from Renesas Electronics is a 32-bit RH850/F1K automotive microcontroller featuring dual-core lockstep CPU architecture, 3MB on-chip flash memory, and integrated ASIL-B compliant safety mechanisms including ECC for flash and RAM, BIST, and windowed watchdog timers. It operates at up to 160 MHz, supports CAN FD (up to 5 channels), and is qualified for AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C). It targets engine control units and transmission control modules requiring functional safety compliance.
For engineers reviewing the R7F7016943AFP-C#KA1 datasheet, R7F7016943AFP-C#KA1 pinout, R7F7016943AFP-C#KA1 application, or R7F7016943AFP-C#KA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include ASIL-B hardware safety certification, dual-core lockstep execution integrity, CAN FD interface count and timing accuracy, flash ECC coverage scope, and package thermal performance under sustained 160 MHz operation.
Technical Context
The R7F7016943AFP-C#KA1 implements a dual-core RH850 G3KH CPU with lockstep comparison logic that continuously validates instruction execution across both cores. Its safety architecture includes dedicated error detection circuits for bus interfaces, memory controllers, and peripheral bridges - all feeding into a centralized Safety Management Unit (SMU) supporting ISO 26262 ASIL-B decomposition.
It integrates a 12-bit, 48-channel ADC with hardware-triggered sampling and built-in self-test, plus five CAN FD controllers with bit-rate switching support up to 5 Mbps and programmable sample points. The device uses a 176-pin LQFP package with dedicated safety-related pins routed to separate power domains and isolated ground planes per ISO 26262 layout guidance.

Does the R7F7016943AFP-C#KA1 support CAN FD with bit-rate switching?
Yes, the R7F7016943AFP-C#KA1 integrates five fully independent CAN FD controllers, each supporting bit-rate switching up to 5 Mbps on the data phase and 1 Mbps on the arbitration phase. Each controller features programmable sample points, flexible data field length (up to 64 bytes), and hardware message filtering - all accessible via the RH850's unified peripheral register map.
What is the maximum operating frequency and associated voltage requirement for the R7F7016943AFP-C#KA1?
The R7F7016943AFP-C#KA1 operates at a maximum frequency of 160 MHz, requiring a regulated 1.2 V ±3% supply on VCC_MAIN. This voltage must be stabilized before releasing RESETB, and the device specifies a minimum 100 ns delay between VCC_MAIN reaching regulation and RESETB deassertion per Renesas Hardware Design Guide Rev.1.10 Section 3.2.
How is flash memory protected against corruption in the R7F7016943AFP-C#KA1?
The R7F7016943AFP-C#KA1 implements end-to-end ECC protection across its 3 MB on-chip flash, covering read, write, and erase operations. Single-bit errors are corrected transparently; double-bit errors trigger an interrupt or NMI via the SMU. Additionally, flash programming includes hardware checksum verification and write-protection registers to prevent accidental modification during runtime.
Is the R7F7016943AFP-C#KA1 pin-compatible with other RH850/F1K devices?
The R7F7016943AFP-C#KA1 uses a 176-pin LQFP package shared with several RH850/F1K variants, including the R7F7016883AFP-C#KA1. Pin functions are identical across these variants for power, reset, clock, JTAG, CAN, and ADC signals. However, some peripheral-specific pins (e.g., Ethernet MAC or additional CAN channels) may be No Connect on R7F7016943AFP-C#KA1 - refer to Section 2.1 Pin Connection Diagram in the Hardware Manual for exact mapping.
