For engineers reviewing the R7FA6E10F2CFP datasheet, R7FA6E10F2CFP pinout, R7FA6E10F2CFP application, or R7FA6E10F2CFP equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package-confirmed pin functions, TrustZone-enabled security partitioning, and validated alternative MCUs for scalable RA6E1-based designs.

Technical Context

The R7FA6E10F2CFP implements Armv8-M architecture with TrustZone, supporting secure/non-secure execution states via separate MPU_S (8 regions) and MPU_NS (8 regions). It integrates ETHERC/EDMAC for zero-CPU packet handling and dual-bank flash enabling background programming and SWAP operations without runtime interruption.

Its system-level timing includes PLL-driven 200 MHz core clock, independent IWDT with 15 kHz oscillator, RTC with calendar mode (2000–2099), and CAC for clock accuracy validation. Communication is orchestrated through ELC event linking, DTC for interrupt-triggered transfers, and DMAC with 8 channels for memory-to-peripheral movement.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency and core architecture of the R7FA6E10F2CFP?

The R7FA6E10F2CFP features an Arm Cortex-M33 core operating at up to 200 MHz, based on the Armv8-M architecture with TrustZone security extension. It includes hardware floating-point and DSP instructions, SysTick timers for both secure and non-secure states, and CoreSight ETM-M33 for real-time trace. This architecture enables deterministic real-time control with hardware-enforced security partitioning in the R7FA6E10F2CFP.

Does the R7FA6E10F2CFP support Ethernet connectivity, and what interface does it use?

Yes, the R7FA6E10F2CFP integrates an Ethernet MAC (ETHERC) compliant with IEEE 802.3, supporting RMII interface only. It requires an external PHY (e.g., LAN8720A) and uses REF50CK0 as the 50 MHz reference clock input. The ETHERC is tightly coupled with the Ethernet DMA Controller (EDMAC) to enable zero-CPU packet handling - a confirmed capability of the R7FA6E10F2CFP per its datasheet.

What flash memory configuration does the R7FA6E10F2CFP include, and how does dual-bank operation work?

The R7FA6E10F2CFP includes 1 MB of dual-bank code flash memory and 8 KB of data flash memory. Dual-bank operation allows background programming: one bank executes code while the other is erased and rewritten, followed by a SWAP command to atomically switch execution to the updated bank. This enables field firmware updates without system reset or downtime - a verified feature of the R7FA6E10F2CFP.

Which analog peripherals are integrated into the R7FA6E10F2CFP, and what are their resolution and channel counts?

The R7FA6E10F2CFP integrates a 12-bit successive approximation ADC12 with up to 11 selectable analog input channels (AN00–AN10), and a 12-bit DAC12 with one analog output channel (DA00). Both converters support internal reference (VREFH0/VREFL0 for ADC, VREFH/VREFL for DAC) and operate across the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range - specifications explicitly confirmed for the R7FA6E10F2CFP in the RA6E1 datasheet.

What package type and pin count does the R7FA6E10F2CFP use, and are there thermal or mechanical notes?

The R7FA6E10F2CFP uses a 100-pin LQFP package (PLQP0100KB-B), measuring 14 mm × 14 mm with 0.5 mm pitch and an exposed die pad recommended to be connected to VSS for thermal and electrical stability. It provides 75 general-purpose I/O pins, 14 of which are 5-V tolerant, and dedicated power domains for digital, analog, and USB sections - all documented for the R7FA6E10F2CFP in Renesas' official pin assignment diagrams.
