Product details
Overview
R7FA2E1A53CFJ#AA0 from Renesas is an ultra-low-power 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M23 microcontroller operating at up to 48 MHz, featuring 32-KB code flash, 16-KB SRAM, a 12-bit ADC, Capacitive Sensing Unit (CTSU2), and integrated security (AES128/256, TRNG). It targets battery-powered HMI, sensor nodes, and industrial control where low power, touch interface, and functional safety are critical.
For engineers reviewing the R7FA2E1A53CFJ#AA0 datasheet, R7FA2E1A53CFJ#AA0 pinout, R7FA2E1A53CFJ#AA0 application, or R7FA2E1A53CFJ#AA0 equivalent, key selection factors include its 32-pin LQFP package with 23 GPIOs, -40°C to +105°C industrial temperature grade, CTSU2-based touch support, and dual watchdog timers (WDT/IWDT) for fail-safe operation.
Technical Context
The R7FA2E1A53CFJ#AA0 implements the Armv8-M architecture with Memory Protection Unit (MPU) supporting 8 regions, enabling secure partitioning of firmware and data. Its clock system integrates HOCO (48 MHz), LOCO (32.768 kHz), and dedicated IWDT oscillator (15 kHz), allowing precise low-power timing and autonomous fail-safe reset.
Peripheral integration includes four SCI modules (UART/SPI/IIC/Smart Card), one I2C bus interface, one SPI channel, two AGT timers for asynchronous event counting, and a GPT32+GPT16 timer suite supporting BLDC motor PWM generation. Safety features include SRAM parity, flash area protection, ADC self-diagnosis, and CAC for clock accuracy validation.
