Product details
Overview
R7FA2E1A73CFL#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, and integrated safety features including SRAM parity check, CRC, and Independent Watchdog Timer (IWDT). It targets battery-powered industrial sensors and smart metering endpoints requiring extended runtime and functional safety compliance.
For engineers reviewing the R7FA2E1A73CFL#BA0 datasheet, R7FA2E1A73CFL#BA0 pinout, R7FA2E1A73CFL#BA0 application, or R7FA2E1A73CFL#BA0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 32-pin LQFP package, -40°C to +105°C operating range, 1.6–5.5 V supply voltage, LIN-capable UART, and hardware-based safety mechanisms such as register write protection and illegal memory access detection.
Technical Context
The R7FA2E1A73CFL#BA0 implements the Armv8-M architecture with TrustZone®-enabled security extensions and supports debug via SW-DP with CoreSight™ MTB-M23 trace. Its clock system integrates five independent sources - HOCO (24/32 MHz), MOCO (4 MHz), LOCO (32.768 kHz), SOSC (32.768 kHz), and MOSC (1–20 MHz) - with programmable trimming for precision timing in variable thermal environments.
Peripheral integration centers on deterministic real-time control: the 8-channel 16-bit Timer Array Unit (TAU) supports PWM generation and input capture, while the 32-bit Interval Timer (TML32) offers flexible counter configurations (8-/16-/32-bit modes). The Serial Array Unit (SAU) provides three simplified SPI, three simplified I²C, and two UART interfaces - one of which supports LIN-bus physical layer signaling.
