Renesas R7FA6E10D2CFP#AA5

Overview

R7FA6E10D2CFP from Renesas is a 32-bit Arm Cortex-M33 microcontroller operating at up to 200 MHz, featuring 512 KB code flash, 8 KB data flash, and 256 KB SRAM with parity. It integrates Ethernet MAC (RMII), USB 2.0 Full-Speed, SDHI, QSPI, CAN, dual I²C, six SCI, two SPI, SSIE, 12-bit ADC (11 channels), 12-bit DAC, and TrustZone security - deployed in industrial gateways requiring real-time connectivity and secure firmware updates.

For engineers reviewing the R7FA6E10D2CFP datasheet, R7FA6E10D2CFP pinout, R7FA6E10D2CFP application, or R7FA6E10D2CFP equivalent, this MCU delivers deterministic real-time control with hardware-accelerated crypto support, dual-bank flash for seamless OTA updates, and integrated RMII Ethernet for compact wired edge-node designs - all within -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.

Technical Context

The R7FA6E10D2CFP implements Armv8-M architecture with TrustZone, enabling secure/non-secure execution states and MPU regions for memory isolation. Its dual-bank flash supports background operation and SWAP-based firmware updates without halting CPU execution.

It features an RMII-only Ethernet MAC (ETHERC/EDMAC) linked to external PHY, USBFS with internal transceiver, and QSPI controller for external serial flash boot or XIP. The analog subsystem includes ADC12 with 11 inputs and DAC12 with single output, both referenced to dedicated AVCC0/AVSS0 rails.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the R7FA6E10D2CFP?

The R7FA6E10D2CFP operates at a maximum frequency of 200 MHz using its Arm Cortex-M33 core. This speed is achieved with the on-chip PLL driven by the main clock oscillator (MOSC) or high-speed on-chip oscillator (HOCO). The R7FA6E10D2CFP maintains full peripheral functionality-including Ethernet MAC, USBFS, and SDHI-at this clock rate, enabling real-time deterministic processing in industrial control applications.

Does the R7FA6E10D2CFP support Ethernet connectivity, and what interface does it use?

Yes, the R7FA6E10D2CFP integrates an Ethernet MAC (ETHERC) compliant with IEEE 802.3, supporting RMII mode only. It requires an external PHY (e.g., LAN8720A) connected via REF50CK0, RMII0_TXD0/1, RMII0_RXD0/1, and associated control signals. The ETHERC is tightly coupled with the Ethernet DMA Controller (EDMAC), enabling zero-copy packet transfers to/from SRAM without CPU intervention - critical for low-latency industrial networking.

What flash and RAM resources does the R7FA6E10D2CFP provide, and how are they protected?

The R7FA6E10D2CFP includes 512 KB of code flash memory, 8 KB of data flash memory (rated for 100,000 P/E cycles), and 256 KB of SRAM with parity checking. Flash supports dual-bank operation and SWAP for safe firmware updates. SRAM parity detects single-bit errors in real time. Both flash and SRAM are partitioned under Arm TrustZone, allowing secure/non-secure memory regions enforced by the MPU - ensuring isolation of critical firmware and cryptographic keys in the R7FA6E10D2CFP.

Which analog peripherals are integrated into the R7FA6E10D2CFP, and what are their key specifications?

The R7FA6E10D2CFP integrates a 12-bit successive approximation ADC12 with up to 11 input channels (AN00–AN10), and a 12-bit DAC12 with one output channel (DA00). ADC12 uses dedicated reference pins (VREFH0/VREFL0) for ratiometric accuracy, while DAC12 outputs rail-to-rail voltage referenced to AVCC0/AVSS0. Both peripherals operate independently of the main CPU clock, supporting precise sensor acquisition and analog actuation in noise-sensitive industrial environments - confirmed in the R7FA6E10D2CFP datasheet Rev.1.40.

Is the R7FA6E10D2CFP pin-compatible with other RA6E1 family members, and which packages does it support?

Yes, the R7FA6E10D2CFP is pin-compatible with other 100-pin LQFP variants in the RA6E1 family, including R7FA6E10F2CFP. It uses the PLQP0100KB-B package: 100-pin LQFP, 14 mm × 14 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch, Sn (tin) terminal finish. Pin assignments match Figure 1.3 in the official datasheet, enabling direct PCB reuse across flash-density variants - a key design advantage for scalable industrial product families using the R7FA6E10D2CFP.
