Overview

Description

The RA2L2 MCU USB Type-C reference design is a solution for small battery applications with USB Type-C, such as USB data loggers, TWS charging cases, and PC peripherals. In this reference design, the RA2L2 32-bit MCU is used as the main CPU to control peripheral devices such as the charging IC, sensor devices, and the LCD to manage the entire system. Each of the three demonstration use cases allows users to easily experience the RA2L2's features, such as USB Type-C detection, USB 2.0 Full-Speed communication, rich serial communication, and low power.

To aid in development, various technical information, including PCB design files and sample code, is available for this reference design.

This is a reference design only; boards are not available for purchase.
