  • Access all pins of the Synergy S3A7 MCU Group with a modular design, including a main MCU board with a custom segment LCD module and a replaceable breakout board with additional peripherals
  • Accelerate code development with the tightly integrated and qualified Synergy Software Package (SSP)
  • View, step through, and debug code with the e2 studio IDE from Renesas or IAR Embedded Workbench® for Renesas Synergy™
  • Flexible connectivity options with USB, CAN, a Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) module, and Pmod™ connectors for third-party, off-the-shelf, and custom multi-function boards
  • Human machine interface (HMI) functionality with a capacitive touch sensing unit (CTSU) and a segment LCD
  • On-board compass, accelerometer, light, proximity, and temperature sensors
  • Measure real-time power consumption of the current over program execution
  • Security and encryption functions enable secure data communications and storage, with support for industry-standard algorithms such as AES 128/256 and GHASH
  • Safety features include hardware diagnostics, memory protection, and watchdog timeout
  • DIP switches for error-free function configuration
  • Debugging and programming with J-Link® OB on board

  1. Selective SRAM initialization with MMF flash update on DK-S3A7

    ... code and jumping to the new application image, the key state variables were still there. I'm currently testing MMF-based flash updates with the DK-S3A7 evaluation board, based on examples by Richard Warner and Fatih Peksenar. I have two simple applications built to run at the MMF address ...

  2. ADC Registers to change to use VREFH0 and VREFL0 ( P10 and P11 ) as voltage reference on the S3A7

    Hi,   We are using the S3A7 and we would like to use VREFH0 and VREFL0 ( P10 and P11 )  to supply 5V for the ADC ( 14 bit ) reference hi/lo voltage.  I see in section 39.2.31 for register ADHVREFCNT.  I am assuming that I needed to the following ...

  3. Can an S3A7 carry ThreadX and frameworks???

    I have a simple project that needs to monitor 5 sensors and communicate by highspeed serial to a master controller.  Should be a piece of cake... I have built a simple project based on Blinky with ThreadX.  I put in two threads with UART communications framework.  This could not keep ...

  1. How do I measure MCU power dissipation on Synergy kits and correlate to data sheet values?

    ... if you don't want them included in the power measurement. 4) Use the supplied test points on your Synergy Kits (for example, on the DK-S3A7 kit you would measure the current drop across the precision 50-mOhm resistors R1 and R42 using connector J22 for MCU current and ...
