Overview

Description

The RX660 Group is the first 5V-compatible product among the RX600 and RX700 high-end general-purpose microcontrollers. With this 5V support, it gives excellent noise tolerance and does not require any external coils for noise suppression, which contribute to the reduction of the overall system cost. The RXv3 core operates at 120 MHz with no wait access to the flash memory, resulting in stable arithmetic processing and achieving excellent real-time performance. The number of effective general-purpose IO pins has been increased by approximately 10% from the previous 5V-compatible RX210, enabling an increase in the number of sensors that can be connected with the same package, contributing to easier system upgrades. For peripheral functions, this is the first in the RX series to incorporate CAN FD, enabling the implementation of next-generation networks such as industrial networks. Furthermore, HOCO oscillation accuracy of 1.0% can be guaranteed in a high-end product for the first time, enabling a reduction in external oscillators and contributing to lower system costs. A wide range of customer platform development can be handled with a single chip with a LFQFP package lineup ranging from 48-pin to 144-pin, and featuring up to 1MB flash memory and 128KB SRAM. This easily improves the performance and expands the functionality of home appliances and industrial equipment.
