Low-power microcontrollers boast up to 1 MB of on-chip flash
The RX200 series of MCU is part of the RX family of 32-bit MCUs. The powerful RX CPU core supports a wide range of applications such as metering, motor control and networking. The series is based on an advanced, low power flash process, designed to meet the latest requirements of the next generation of lower power applications. It combines a high performance 32-bit RX CPU, which delivers 3.08 CoreMark/MHz, and operation at voltages as low as 1.62 V and as high as 5.5 V.. The flash memory offers reprogramming across the full voltage range, from 1.62 to 5.5 V with E2data Flash 100k write erase cycles and guaranteed data retention of up to 30 years.
The RX210 group offers a large lineup of low power, 32-bit devices, offering a wide range of memory size and package options and suitable to support every low power application that now needs 32-bit performance. The RX210 group supports many powerful on-chip peripherals, with a multitude of on-chip timers, including motor control timers, a Real Timer Clock and watchdog timers. The MCUs also include up to 15 on-chip serial interfaces, including SPI & I2C support, a 12-bit ADC and 10-bit DAC, DMA controllers, an on-chip event system, a peripheral mapping controller and a wide variety of on-chip safety and reliability functions designed to support IEC60730 (VDE compliant software libraries available).
Typical applications include consumer products, data loggers, meters, small appliances and industrial sensors. All versions of the RX210 group are now available in sample quantities and will be available in mass production by the end of March 2013.
