Overview
Description
RL78/L1C microcontrollers have a built-in segment LCD driver and USB 2.0 function. Three LCD driving voltage generation methods (external resistance division, capacitive split, and internal voltage boost) are supported, corresponding to a variety of segment LCD panels. They realize low current consumptionNote 1: external resistance division: 1.76μANote 2, internal voltage boost: 1.23μA, and capacitive split: 0.74µA. They support USB high-speed battery charging (Battery Charging Specification 1.2) and come in a lineup of 80/100-pin, maximum 416 segment products. These microcontrollers can be used in sensor modules and healthcare devices as well as home appliances and measurement devices.
Note 1: Current (typ.) at 1/3 bias, subclock operation, HALT mode, and RTC operation.
Note 2: Resistance value for external resistance division = 1000kΩ.

Resizing the RAM on RL78/L1C R5F111MJ.
Hi, I am facing a strange issue that the application works fine with debugger but not when it is executed stand-alone without debugger. IDE: CS+ V7.00.00 Compiler: CC-RL V1.07.00 I have observed that the device reboots after 5-6 seconds from booting up. Watchdog ...

If RL78 Accepts External Interrupt Requests That Occur Immediately After Reset
No, that interrupt request will not be accepted. After a reset, the registers are initialized to the state of no interrupt request and no interrupt processing allowed, and therefore are in a state in which no external interrupt request can be accepted. Refer to the user’s manual of each ...

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.
