Product details
Overview
R7FA2E2A32DNK#AA1 from Renesas Electronics is an ultra-low-power 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M23 microcontroller operating at up to 48 MHz, featuring 16 KB code flash, 8 KB SRAM, 12-bit ADC with 4 input channels, integrated CAN interface, and -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating in a 24-pin HWQFN package. It targets battery-powered sensor nodes and smart industrial peripherals requiring secure, deterministic real-time control.
For engineers reviewing the R7FA2E2A32DNK#AA1 datasheet, R7FA2E2A32DNK#AA1 pinout, R7FA2E2A32DNK#AA1 application, or R7FA2E2A32DNK#AA1 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions for HWQFN-24, confirmed safety features (ECC SRAM, CAC, IWDT), and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for cost-sensitive, low-power embedded designs.
Technical Context
The R7FA2E2A32DNK#AA1 implements the Armv8-M architecture with Memory Protection Unit (MPU) supporting 8 regions, enabling secure partitioning of firmware and data. Its clock system integrates HOCO (48 MHz), MOCO (8 MHz), LOCO (32.768 kHz), and IWDT-dedicated 15 kHz oscillator with trim capability.
Peripheral integration includes one SCI supporting UART/IIC/SPI/Smart Card modes, one I3C bus interface, one SPI channel, one CAN module, six GPT16 timers (10 PWM outputs), two AGTW low-power timers, and hardware-accelerated AES128/256 with TRNG - all coordinated via Event Link Controller (ELC) for CPU-free inter-module triggering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core | Arm Cortex-M23, 48 MHz max - enables real-time deterministic execution with TrustZone-M security isolation. |
| Memory | 16 KB code flash / 2 KB data flash / 8 KB SRAM with ECC - supports firmware updates, parameter storage, and robust runtime data handling. |
| Analog | 12-bit ADC (4 channels), on-chip temperature sensor - provides direct environmental monitoring without external components. |
| Timers | GPT16 × 6 (10 PWM outputs), AGTW × 2 - delivers precise motor control timing and ultra-low-power wake-up intervals. |
| Connectivity | CAN 2.0B, I3C, SCI (UART/IIC/SPI), SPI - enables interoperability with automotive sensors, IoT edge devices, and legacy industrial buses. |
| Power & Safety | 1.6–5.5 V operation, -40°C to +85°C, IWDT, CAC, LVD, register write protection - ensures reliable operation across wide supply and thermal margins. |
| Package | HWQFN-24 (4 mm × 4 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed die pad - supports compact PCB layout and efficient thermal dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: HWQFN-24 (4 mm × 4 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), exposed die pad recommended connected to VSS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC / VSS | Power supply / Ground | Primary digital power domain; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required adjacent to each pair. |
| P108/SWDIO, P300/SWCLK | Debug interface | Supports Serial Wire Debug (SWD) programming and real-time trace without dedicated JTAG pins. |
| RES#, MD | Reset / Mode control | Active-low reset input; MD pin sets boot mode (single-chip vs. SCI boot) during power-up. |
| GTIOC4A–GTIOC9B | PWM/timer I/O | 10 dedicated pins for GPT16 outputs - configured for BLDC motor phase control (U/V/W high/low side) or general-purpose PWM. |
| AN005–AN010, AN019–AN022 | Analog inputs | Four 12-bit ADC channels mapped to physical pins; AN020 doubles as ADTRG0 for external conversion trigger. |
| TXD9/RXD9, SCL0/SDA0, CANH/CANL | Communication interfaces | Dedicated SCI UART pins, I3C bus pins, and CAN transceiver I/O - no shared multiplexing between these critical interfaces. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low-power operation | Multiple low-power modes with sub-µA stop current; AGTW timers enable wake-up from deep sleep using internal 32.768 kHz clock. |
| Hardware security engine | AES128/256 encryption + True Random Number Generator (TRNG) - enables secure boot, firmware signing, and key derivation without software overhead. |
| Functional safety support | Clock Frequency Accuracy Measurement (CAC), SRAM ECC, IWDT, and ADC self-diagnosis - satisfies IEC 61508 SIL2 and ISO 13849 PL d requirements. |
| Event-driven architecture | Event Link Controller (ELC) routes peripheral events (e.g., ADC end-of-conversion, timer match) directly to GPT or DTC - eliminates CPU polling latency. |
| Robust analog subsystem | Integrated temperature sensor with linear output, 12-bit ADC with internal reference, and low-power analog comparator (ACMPLP) - reduces BOM count for sensor fusion applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R7FA2E1A32DNK#AA0 | Same RA2E2 family, 16 KB flash, but lacks CAN interface and I3C; uses Cortex-M23 r0p1 core (vs. r1p0 in R7FA2E2A32DNK#AA1). | Suitable for UART/I2C-only sensor nodes where CAN is unnecessary; lower gate count reduces cost. | Select when CAN and I3C are not required and BOM cost is prioritized over future interface scalability. |
| R7FA4M1AB2CFM#AA0 | RA4M1 family, Cortex-M4F @ 48 MHz, 256 KB flash, 32 KB SRAM, no CAN but adds USB FS and larger ADC (14-bit, 24 ch). | Better suited for USB-connected data concentrators or higher-fidelity analog acquisition; higher power consumption limits battery life. | Choose when USB host/device capability or >12-bit ADC resolution is mandatory, accepting higher active current and larger footprint. |
Compared with R7FA2E2A32DNK#AA1, the R7FA2E1A32DNK#AA0 offers identical low-power performance without CAN/I3C, while the R7FA4M1AB2CFM#AA0 trades ultra-low-power efficiency for enhanced compute and connectivity - making R7FA2E2A32DNK#AA1 optimal for CAN-based industrial edge nodes needing balanced performance, security, and energy efficiency.
