Renesas Technology Expands R8C/Tiny Series of 16-Bit Microcontrollers Including Low-Voltage and Wide-Temperature-Range Models
The New 20- and 32-Pin Devices With a LIN Interface and
Timers Boost the Number of R8C/Tiny Series Devices to 184
to Cover a Wide Range of Application Areas
SAN JOSE, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Dec. 7, 2005—
Renesas Technology America, Inc. today expanded its R8C/Tiny
series of small, low-pin-count, high-performance 16-bit
microcontrollers (MCUs) with on-chip flash memory by adding 36 new
models, including some that offer low-voltage (2.2 to 5.5V) and
wide-temperature-range (-40 to +125 degrees C) operation. Devices in
the R8C/26 and R8C/27 groups have compact (7 x 7mm) 32-pin LQFP
packages, while those in the R8C/28 and R8C/29 groups have even
smaller (6.5 x 4.4mm) 20-pin LSSOP packages. Now system engineers can
choose from a comprehensive lineup of 184 R8C/Tiny series MCUs
offering diverse combinations of performance, functionality and cost
to more easily obtain optimum solutions for a wide span of
applications and a diverse variety of design requirements.
For the R8C/26 and R8C/27 product groups, the on-chip flash memory
for program storage is either 32, 24, 16 or 8Kbytes, while for the
R8C/28 and R8C/29 groups, it is 16 or 8Kbytes. Moreover, the MCUs in
the R8C/27 and R8C/29 groups include an extra 2Kbytes of data flash
memory with higher endurance (organized as two 1Kbyte blocks) that can
be used for both program and data storage.
As with current R8C/Tiny models, the new devices offer a
comprehensive range of on-chip peripheral functions, including a
high-precision on-chip clock oscillator and a low voltage detection
circuit. They also have a high-resolution 16-bit timer that can be
clocked at high speeds up to 40MHz by a separate on-chip oscillator,
and a LIN interface that is ideal for automotive applications. To
simplify the development of LIN-compatible products and reduce the
CPU's software processing load, most of the protocol processing is
performed by hardware using an 8-bit timer channel and a
synchronous/UART serial interface channel.
Ritesh Tyagi, senior marketing manager, system LSI business unit,
Renesas Technology America, said, "All models in our R8C/Tiny series
are high-performance, easy-to-use MCUs with on-chip flash memory. The
addition of these 36 new models to the product line makes available
superb solutions for an even wider variety of applications. Whether
our customers are developing a battery-operated application which
requires low-voltage operation or a high-end automotive application
that requires higher temperature specifications, they can now find a
small, high-performance and cost-effective R8C/Tiny device that fits
their requirements for main processors or sub-processors."
System development tools
Renesas development tools for the new R8C/26, R8C/27, R8C/28,
R8C/29 series devices include the E8 emulator/on-chip debugger with
single-pin connection capability. It allows all I/O pins to be used
during debugging, for more efficient program development, and can also
be used as a flash memory writer. The High-performance Embedded
Workshop (HEW), an integrated development environment with a full
software toolset is available, too, as are tools and services from the
many independent vendors that support the R8C series.
Free Factory Flash Programming
With the introduction of the newly added R8C/Tiny devices, Renesas
is starting a factory flash programming service with one-time nominal
charges. After paying the $1,000 non recurring engineering (NRE) fee,
customers do not need to pay additional per device fees. The minimum
order quantity for the free factory programming service is 50,000
pieces per year and the minimum lot for each order is 2,000 pieces.
