Product details
Overview
R7FA2E1A93CNE#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 functions including AES128/256 and 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 R7FA2E1A93CNE#AA0 datasheet, R7FA2E1A93CNE#AA0 pinout, R7FA2E1A93CNE#AA0 application, or R7FA2E1A93CNE#AA0 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 48-pin HWQFN package, -40°C to +105°C industrial temperature grade, CTSU2-based touch capability, dual AGT timers for low-power event timing, and hardware CRC/DOC for data integrity in resource-constrained systems.
Technical Context
The R7FA2E1A93CNE#AA0 implements the Armv8-M architecture with an 8-region Memory Protection Unit (MPU) and CoreSight™ MTB-M23 trace, enabling secure, debuggable embedded firmware. Its clock system integrates HOCO (48 MHz), SOSC (32.768 kHz), and IWDT-dedicated 15-kHz oscillator for robust fail-safe timing.
Peripheral integration includes four SCI modules supporting UART, SPI, I²C, and smart card protocols; one dedicated I²C bus interface; one SPI channel; and analog subsystems comprising ADC12 (13-channel), two ACMPLP comparators, and TSN - all accessible via the Event Link Controller (ELC) for CPU-free inter-module triggering.
