Overview

Description

RL78/F12 microcontrollers are available in a 20 to 64-pin, 8 to 64 KB flash memory lineup, and realize the industry's lowest level of consumption current. They have a built-in LIN module as an automotive interface. With various built-in functions for realizing functional safety including flash memory CRC calculation, illegal memory access detection, RAM guard, A/D converter testing, and SFR guard, a highly reliable system can be built, so these microcontrollers can be used for industrial applications and of course automotive applications.

  3. Tell me the points to be aware of when using the RL78 Code Generator with the WDT.

    In the RL78 Code Generator, the Watchdog Timer (WDT) is set to 'Enabled' by default, as shown in the diagram below. To avoid unintended resets by the WDT, please either select 'Disabled' for the 'Watchdog Timer Operation Setting' or add a program to clear the Watchdog Timer counter.
