Renesas has expanded its low-cost RA0 series of low-cost, low-power Cortex-M23 MCUs with the new RA0L1, the first in the lineup to feature integrated capacitive touch. Designed for low-cost battery-powered applications with responsive touch control, ultra-low current consumption, and fast wake-up. The RA0L1 combines up to 64KB flash, 16KB SRAM, and a 1.6V–5.5V operating range with peripherals such as a 12-bit ADC, temperature sensor, multiple UART/I2C/SPI interfaces, timers, RTC, and a random number generator. It supports up to 24 capacitive touch channels using Renesas’ self-capacitance technology, a high-accuracy ±1% on-chip oscillator, safety functions, and security features including TRNG and unique ID. Renesas RA0L1 MCU specifications: MCU Core – Arm Cortex-M23 Armv8-M Core up to 32MHz Memory and Storage 16KB SRAM with parity Code Flash – Up to 64KB Data Flash – 1KB(1M program/erase cycles) Flash read protection (FRP) 128-bit unique ID Human-Machine Interface Capacitive Touch Sensing Unit – up to […]

Renesas RA0E2 is a low-power, low-cost Arm Cortex-M23 microcontroller (MCU) Group part of the RA0 family introduced in 2024 that can operate in an extended temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) and offers a wide variety of peripheral functions and safety features. It follows the RA0E1 devices – the first member of the RA0 family – designed for consumer electronics, household appliances, power tools, industrial monitoring, and other applications, including battery-powered devices. The new RA0E2 MCUs offer both software and pin-to-pin compatibility (for 32-pin SKUs) with RA0E1 devices, but the new family adds more memory and storage with up to 16KB SRAM, 128KB code flash, and 2KB data flash. The RA0E2 also features more I/Os with 32-pin to 64-bit packages, instead of 16-pin to 32-pin packages. Renesas RA0E2 specifications: MCU Core – Arm Cortex-M23 Armv8-M Core up to 32MHz Memory and Storage 16KB SRAM Code Flash – Up to 128KB Data […]
