The R7FS3A77C3A01CNB#AC1 maintains timing compliance under all valid supply voltage conditions (2.7–3.6 V).
Does the R7FS3A77C3A01CNB#AC1 support CAN FD, and what is its data rate capability?
Yes, the R7FS3A77C3A01CNB#AC1 integrates a CAN FD controller compliant with ISO 11898-1:2015, supporting arbitration bit rates up to 1 Mbps and data bit rates up to 5 Mbps. It includes dedicated message RAM with configurable transmit/receive buffers and hardware timestamping for precise network diagnostics. The R7FS3A77C3A01CNB#AC1 requires an external CAN transceiver for physical layer implementation.
What security features are implemented in hardware on the R7FS3A77C3A01CNB#AC1?
The R7FS3A77C3A01CNB#AC1 includes hardware-accelerated AES-128/256, SHA-256, ECDSA signature generation/verification, and a True Random Number Generator (TRNG).
