Renesas R7FA4M2AB3CFM#BA0

Overview

R7FA4M2AB3CFM#BA0 from Renesas is a 100 MHz Arm Cortex-M33 microcontroller with 256 KB code flash, 8 KB data flash, and 128 KB SRAM (with parity/ECC), integrated USB 2.0 Full-Speed, SDHI, QSPI, dual 12-bit DACs, 12-bit ADC (22-channel), CAN, and Secure Crypto Engine (AES/RSA/ECC/SHA256) for industrial HMI and secure edge node applications.

For engineers reviewing the R7FA4M2AB3CFM#BA0 datasheet, R7FA4M2AB3CFM#BA0 pinout, R7FA4M2AB3CFM#BA0 application, or R7FA4M2AB3CFM#BA0 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping, security-aware feature value, real-world HMI/industrial use cases, and two validated alternative MCUs - all grounded in Renesas R01DS0367EJ0150 Rev.1.50.

Technical Context

The R7FA4M2AB3CFM#BA0 implements Armv8-M architecture with TrustZone-enabled secure/non-secure execution environments, dual Systick timers, and PMSAv8 MPU (8 regions each). Its clock system includes MOSC (8–24 MHz), SOSC (32.768 kHz), HOCO/MOCO/LOCO oscillators, and dual PLLs supporting precise frequency synthesis and clock accuracy measurement via CAC.

Peripheral integration centers on deterministic real-time control: GPT32×4 + GPT16×4 timers support BLDC motor PWM with Hall sensor inputs (GTIU/GTIV/GTIW) and complementary outputs (GTOUUP/GTOULO); AGT×6 enables low-power event timing; ELC links peripherals without CPU intervention; and DTC/DMAC×8 offload data movement from the core.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency and core architecture of the R7FA4M2AB3CFM#BA0?

The R7FA4M2AB3CFM#BA0 features an Arm Cortex-M33 core operating at up to 100 MHz, based on the Armv8-M architecture with TrustZone security extension (r0p4-00rel0 revision). It includes dual Systick timers (secure and non-secure), PMSAv8 Memory Protection Unit with eight regions per domain, and CoreSight ETM-M33 for trace debugging - all confirmed in Renesas R01DS0367EJ0150 Rev.1.50 Section 1.1.

Does the R7FA4M2AB3CFM#BA0 support USB device and host functionality?

Yes, the R7FA4M2AB3CFM#BA0 integrates a USB 2.0 Full-Speed module (USBFS) that operates in both device and host modes, supporting full-speed (12 Mbps) and low-speed (1.5 Mbps, host only) transfers per Universal Serial Bus Specification 2.0. It includes an internal transceiver, 10-pipe endpoint buffer, and supports all transfer types (control, bulk, interrupt, isochronous) - detailed in Section 1.8 of R01DS0367EJ0150 Rev.1.50.

How many analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converter channels does the R7FA4M2AB3CFM#BA0 include?

The R7FA4M2AB3CFM#BA0 integrates a 12-bit successive approximation ADC12 with up to 22 input channels (9 channels available in the 64-pin LQFP variant), plus two independent 12-bit DAC12 outputs. The ADC supports internal reference voltage and temperature sensor input; DAC outputs drive analog actuators or calibration references - specified in Tables 1.9 and 1.14 of R01DS0367EJ0150 Rev.1.50.
