The RH850/C1M-Ax ASIL-C microcontroller is equipped with an RH850 Family G3MH CPU core, which operates at a frequency of 1x 240MHz for C1M-A1 and 2x 320MHz for C1M-A2, providing high processing power. Along with the ROM, RAM and DMA, it includes various timers such as a motor control timer, various serial interfaces including CAN (CAN FD compatible), a 12-bit A/D converter (ADC), an R/D converter (RDC3A) that converts position-sensor output signals into digital angle data and a parallel embedded motor control unit (EMU3), providing a peripheral function set that is ideal for motor control in HEV/EV traction-inverter applications. In addition, C1M-A2 can simultaneously control two motors, e.g. for a starter/generator system. Design resources are available here to help you bring your design to market as quickly as possible.

Hardware Tools
In the Hardware Tools section, we provide links to the MCU starter kits. The starter kit is a fully self-contained hardware and software tool for evaluating microcontroller features and performance and can be used to start development. It includes the Renesas E1 on-chip debugger, access to all I/O pins and serial interfaces such as USB/UART, LIN/SENT, and CAN-FD. The starter kit is the fastest way to get the hardware and software needed to begin development right away. We provide links to the user's manual and software as well as a link to purchase.
