RA6M2 Block Diagram
Description
The Renesas RA6M2 group of microcontrollers (MCUs) uses the high-performance Arm® Cortex®-M4 core and offers Ethernet MAC with individual DMA, to ensure high data throughput. The RA6M2 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 RA6M2 is suitable for IoT applications requiring Ethernet, security, large embedded RAM, and low active power consumption.

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.
