Overview

Description

The RX230 Group of devices leverages an optimal combination of a 32-bit RXv2 CPU core with improved DSP/FPU and low-power consumption technology to realize extreme power efficiency. High-performance digital filtering, floating-point operations, and other processing can be performed even in environments with low current supply capacity. The RX230 Group is optimized for the general market requiring 5V power supply support, external bus, high DSP/FPU operational performance at low power consumption or high sensitivity, high level of noise tolerance capacitive touch sensor function for HMI applications.
