Product details
Overview
R7FA2E1A72DFK#AA0 from Renesas is an ultra-low-power 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M23 microcontroller operating at up to 48 MHz, featuring 128-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 R7FA2E1A72DFK#AA0 datasheet, R7FA2E1A72DFK#AA0 pinout, R7FA2E1A72DFK#AA0 application, or R7FA2E1A72DFK#AA0 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping, validated alternatives, and design-meaningful feature analysis - all aligned to the RA2E1 Group's industrial-grade (-40°C to +85°C) 64-pin LQFP (0.8 mm pitch) variant.
Technical Context
The R7FA2E1A72DFK#AA0 implements the Armv8-M architecture with an 8-region Memory Protection Unit (MPU), DWT/FPB debug support, and SW-DP CoreSight interface. Its clock system integrates MOSC (1–20 MHz), SOSC (32.768 kHz), and trimmable HOCO/MOCO/LOCO oscillators for precision timing across low-power modes.
It supports hardware-accelerated safety functions including SRAM parity checking, flash area protection, ADC self-diagnosis, CAC for clock accuracy validation, CRC calculator, DOC for 16-bit data operations, and dual watchdogs (WDT + IWDT with independent 15-kHz oscillator) - enabling IEC 61508-compliant system monitoring without software overhead.
