Overview
Description
The RL78/G13 microcontrollers balance the industry's lowest level of consumption current (CPU: 66 μA/MHz, standby (STOP): 230 nA) and a high performance of 43.2 DMIPS (32 MHz). They have an on-chip oscillator, data flash, A/D converter, and more. Built-in safety features (function that detects illegal operation of hardware) enable support for the household appliance safety standard (IEC/UL 60730). These microcontrollers can be used in a wide variety of applications from home and consumer appliances to industrial equipment.

Where to find the register that selects the timer output in RL78/G13?
An example of a circuit of the block diagram for pin output of the RL78 is shown. In general, port output and SAU output, TAU output, and other output are assigned to each pin. In the RL78, there is normally no built-in register for switching between these outputs. These ...

Can you provide the header file of RL78/G13?
In the RL78 Family, on-chip peripheral functions are defined in device file format, which is installed when CubeSuite+ is installed. Therefore, it is not necessary to prepare a separate header file. When programming using an assembler (RA78K0R), program using the register names shown in the hardware manual. When programming ...
