RL78/F series 16-bit microcontrollers are AEC-Q100 automotive qualified and provide ultra-low power consumption. The large product portfolio, scalable from 8KB to 512KB Flash/0.5KB to 32KB RAM, and from 20 to 144 pins (QFN, LQFP, SSOP packages), enables optimal application demand coverages. Further key features are high-temperature support up to 150 °C ambient (optionally for RL78/F13, F14, F23 and 24), BLDC/field-oriented control (FOC) motor control, CAN/CAN FD, LIN, UART, CSI, and I2C interfaces and hardware and software compatibility across the family, as well as an extensive ecosystem. For RL78/F23 and F24, additional hardware (Application Accelerator Unit) is built in to improve motor control performance further.
Additionally, RL78/D1A microcontrollers are equipped with up to four stepper motor drivers and an LCD controller that supports up to 216 segments.
Those innovative MCUs are ideal for realizing all kinds of highly reliable automotive actuators and sensors, as well as low-end ECUs in body and instrument cluster areas.
