Overview

The R8C 16-bit microcontrollers are small in size, yet big in performance and value. They excel for 8-bit embedded system applications that need low-cost devices and deliver high performance, yet save space with small, low-pin count packages.
These MCUs for general purpose applications deliver up to 20 MHz speed, up to 16K of on-chip flash memory, offer versatile peripherals, and are packaged in compact LQFPs with 32 pins or less.
Based on the MC16 family of 16-bit microcontrollers, the R8C Tiny inherits the same features of high performance, ROM code efficiency, low power consumption, and low noise, while its instruction compatibility allows the use of existing M16C family software resources.

Key Applications

• Consumer: Refrigerators, washers/dryers, cooking appliances
• Industrial: Motor controllers, HVAC systems, environmental control systems, equipment/process automation equipment
• Office Automation: Printers, copies, scanners
• Security: Sensing systems, motion detectors, lighting controllers
• PC Systems: Optical or wireless mouse devices, game consoles, fan controllers

Why R8C Tiny?

• Best Price/Performance – Experience the most economical, high-performance 16-bit MCU in space-saving low-pin count packages (up to 32 pins) with up to 20 MHz speed performance.

Versatile

• High Peripheral Integration – Receive substantial cost savings by selecting from a broad choice of peripheral devices – Timers, high-speed on-chip oscillator, voltage detect circuit, power on reset circuit 10-bit A/D converter, USART/UART, high current I/O and more.

Broad

• Extensive Flash Options - On-Chip Memory from 8KB to 16KB on-chip flash memory and from 512K to 1KB on-chip RAM.

Powerful
