Product details
Overview
R7FA2E1A53CNH#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 R7FA2E1A53CNH#AA0 datasheet, R7FA2E1A53CNH#AA0 pinout, R7FA2E1A53CNH#AA0 application, or R7FA2E1A53CNH#AA0 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping to 32-pin HWQFN (8 mm × 8 mm, 0.4 mm pitch), I/O count (23 pins), CTSU2 channel count (11), and confirmed alternative parts for design-in evaluation.
Technical Context
The R7FA2E1A53CNH#AA0 implements the Armv8-M architecture with Memory Protection Unit (MPU) supporting 8 regions, enabling secure partitioning of firmware and data. Its system-level timing relies on multiple clock sources including HOCO (48 MHz), SOSC (32.768 kHz), and LOCO, coordinated via Clock Frequency Accuracy Measurement Circuit (CAC) for oscillator validation.
Peripheral integration centers on event-driven operation: Event Link Controller (ELC) enables direct hardware-to-hardware triggering between modules (e.g., ADC conversion start → DTC transfer), while Data Transfer Controller (DTC) handles memory moves without CPU intervention-critical for deterministic low-power operation in sensor acquisition and capacitive touch scanning.
