Product details
Overview
R7FA2E1A52DFJ#BA0 from Renesas is an ultra-low-power 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M23 microcontroller operating at up to 32 MHz, featuring 64-KB code flash, 12-KB SRAM, a 12-bit ADC with 10 input channels, integrated temperature sensor, and safety features including SRAM parity, CRC, IWDT, and flash protection. It targets battery-powered industrial sensors and smart metering endpoints requiring extended runtime and functional safety compliance.
For engineers reviewing the R7FA2E1A52DFJ#BA0 datasheet, R7FA2E1A52DFJ#BA0 pinout, R7FA2E1A52DFJ#BA0 application, or R7FA2E1A52DFJ#BA0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 32-pin LQFP package, -40°C to +105°C operating range, 1.6–5.5 V supply, dual 5-V-tolerant I/O pins, and support for LIN-bus UART in safety-critical embedded control.
Technical Context
The R7FA2E1A52DFJ#BA0 implements the Armv8-M architecture with TrustZone®-enabled security extensions, enabling secure boot and isolated execution environments. Its memory subsystem includes 64-KB code flash with read protection, 1-KB data flash rated for 1 million program/erase cycles, and 12-KB parity-protected SRAM for error detection.
Peripherals are orchestrated via the Event Link Controller (ELC) and Data Transfer Controller (DTC), enabling autonomous peripheral-to-peripheral data movement without CPU intervention. The SAU supports three simplified SPI, three simplified I²C, and two UART interfaces - one of which is LIN-bus compliant - while the dedicated UARTA and IICA modules provide additional serial connectivity.
