Overview
Description
The RA2L1 group is based on the Arm® Cortex®-M23 core, the most energy-efficient CPU among Arm Cortex-M today. The optimized processing and Renesas’ low power process technology makes it the industry's most energy-efficient ultra-low power microcontroller. The RA2L1 group supports a wide operating voltage range of 1.6V to 5.5V, and a maximum CPU clock frequency of 48MHz, lower active mode current, and standby mode current. The RA2L1 group also features an enhanced Capacitive Touch Sensing Unit (CTSU2), a set of serial communication interfaces, highly accurate converters, and timers. The products are available with pin counts ranging from 48-pin to 100-pin.
