Product details
Overview
R7FA2E1A72DDA from Renesas Electronics is an ultra-low-power 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M23 microcontroller operating at up to 48 MHz, featuring 64 KB code flash, 16 KB SRAM, a 12-bit ADC, capacitive touch sensing (CTSU2), and integrated AES128/256 encryption - deployed in battery-powered HMI and sensor-edge nodes requiring secure, low-voltage operation down to 1.6 V.
For engineers reviewing the R7FA2E1A72DDA datasheet, R7FA2E1A72DDA pinout, R7FA2E1A72DDA application, or R7FA2E1A72DDA equivalent, key selection criteria include its 25-pin WLCSP package, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade, CTSU2-based touch interface support, dual AGT timers for event timing, and hardware TRNG for secure boot and key generation.
Technical Context
The R7FA2E1A72DDA implements the Armv8-M architecture with Memory Protection Unit (MPU) and CoreSight™ MTB-M23 trace, enabling certified functional safety designs. Its clock system integrates HOCO (48 MHz), LOCO (32.768 kHz), and IWDT-dedicated 15 kHz oscillator for fail-safe timing independence.
System-level features include Event Link Controller (ELC) for CPU-free peripheral chaining, Data Transfer Controller (DTC) for autonomous memory moves, and Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) calculator with snoop mode for serial buffer integrity monitoring - all optimized for deterministic real-time response in resource-constrained edge devices.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the R7FA2E1A72DDA?
The R7FA2E1A72DDA operates at a maximum frequency of 48 MHz using its Arm Cortex-M23 core. This speed is achieved with the high-speed on-chip oscillator (HOCO) running at 48 MHz, and the device maintains full peripheral functionality-including ADC sampling, CTSU2 scanning, and AES encryption-at this clock rate without derating.
Does the R7FA2E1A72DDA support hardware encryption?
Yes, the R7FA2E1A72DDA integrates a dedicated hardware AES128/256 engine and a True Random Number Generator (TRNG). These peripherals operate independently of the CPU, enabling secure boot verification, encrypted firmware updates, and TLS key generation without software overhead or vulnerability to timing attacks - meeting foundational requirements for PSA Certified Level 1 compliance.
How many capacitive touch channels does the R7FA2E1A72DDA support?
The R7FA2E1A72DDA supports 10 capacitive touch sensing channels via its CTSU2 peripheral. These are mapped to specific pins (TS00–TS07, TS21–TS25) in its 25-pin WLCSP package. The CTSU2 includes built-in noise cancellation, auto-calibration, and low-power scan modes - enabling reliable touch detection through overlays up to 3 mm thick without external components.
What is the operating voltage range for the R7FA2E1A72DDA?
The R7FA2E1A72DDA operates across a wide voltage range of 1.6 V to 5.5 V. This allows direct connection to single-cell lithium batteries (2.5–4.2 V), coin cells (3 V), or standard 3.3 V/5 V system rails. The internal regulators maintain stable core and analog domain operation across this range, eliminating the need for external DC-DC converters in many low-power designs.
Which debug interface does the R7FA2E1A72DDA use?
The R7FA2E1A72DDA uses the two-pin Serial Wire Debug (SWD) interface via SWDIO and SWCLK pins. This compact debug solution supports full programming, real-time tracing via CoreSight MTB-M23, and register-level inspection - requiring only two PCB traces and no dedicated reset or SWO pin, which is especially valuable in space-constrained WLCSP layouts.
