Overview
Description
The Renesas RA6M1 microcontroller is the entry point to the Renesas RA6 product series for applications that require a high-performance Arm® Cortex®-M4 core at a very attractive price point. The RA6M1 is built on a highly efficient 40nm process and is supported by an open and flexible ecosystem concept—the Flexible Software Package (FSP), built on FreeRTOS—and is expandable to use other RTOSes and middleware. The RA6M1 is suitable for IoT applications requiring security, large embedded RAM and low power consumption.
Features
- 120MHz Arm® Cortex®-M4
- 512kB Flash memory and 256kB SRAM
- 8kB Data Flash to store data as in EEPROM
- Scalable from 64-pin to 100-pin packages
- Capacitive touch sensing unit
- USB 2.0 Full Speed
- CAN 2.0B
- SCI (UART, Simple SPI, Simple I2C)
- SPI/ I2C multimaster interface
- SDHI
- SSI/Serial sound interface

RA6M1, RA6M2, RA6M3, RA6T1, RA6M4, RA6M5, RA4M2, RA4M3: Can A/D conversion be performed on other analog input?
Yes. Temperature sensor output and internal reference voltage are selectable at the same time as the analog input of the channel. A/D conversion is performed first for the analog input of the channel, next for the temperature sensor output, and then for the internal reference voltage.

RA Family: Is There a Way to Reduce Parasitic Capacitance?
Make sure that there is enough clearance between the touch electrodes and the wires and GND pattern. Specific examples are shown below. Increase the clearance between the touch electrodes and touch wires and GND pattern. Make GND pattern mesh-like rather than solid Reduce the wiring width Shorten the wiring ...
