Overview

Description

The R8C/38A Group is supported only for customers who have already adopted these products. The RL78/G14 Group is recommended for new designs.

The R8C/38A Group of single-chip MCUs incorporate the R8C CPU core, employing sophisticated instructions for a high level of efficiency. With 1Mb of address space, and it is capable of executing instructions at high speed. In addition, the CPU core boasts a multiplier for high-speed operation processing.

Power consumption is low, and the supported operating modes allow additional power control. These MCUs are designed to maximize EMI/EMS performance. Integration of many peripheral functions, including multifunction timer and serial interface, reduces the number of system components. The R8C/38A Group have data flash (1KB × 4 blocks) with the background operation (BGO) function.

FAQs

  1. (R8C) Are there any hardware precautions for accurate A/D conversion?

    In order to perform A/D conversion, it is necessary to fully charge the internal capacitor, but if the impedance of the A/D conversion target is high, the discharge and charge will take time and the conversion value will not be accurate. For correct A/D ...

  2. When using the D/A converter, can I stabilize the output voltage by adding a resistor for pull-down?

    Since the D/A converter has an internal output resistor, if a pull-down resister is added, resistance from both the internal and pull-down resistors will divide the output level. Accordingly, D/A conversion precision will be worse than if there were no pull-down resistor. The ...

  3. Please tell me how to set the option function register in detail.

    There are three methods for setting the option function select register using the C complier package M3T-NC30WA: Using the load module converter (lmc30 -R8C) -OFSREGX (or -PROTECTX) option Using assembler directive command .OFSREG (or .PROTECT) By assembly programming The load module converter option and directive command depend on the ...
