Renesas Electronics Europe has announced the RX210 and RX630 microcontrollers, based on the company's 32bit receiver CPU core and developed using two metal-oxide-nitride-oxide-silicon flash processors. The RX210 provides up to 50MHz flash operation at 3.3V and up to 20MHz performance down to 1.62V. It integrates up to 512kbyte of on-chip flash and 8kbyte of on-chip data flash supporting 100k cycles. It has a real time clock calendar, with C, alarm and tamper logging features and a 1μs, 12bit ADC with triple sample and holds. Additional features include nine serial interfaces including I2C and SPI, DMA and data transfer controller and event link controller functions. The RX630 offers 100MHz flash performance with an integrated floating point unit. It supports 64- to 176pin packages and up to 2Mbyte of flash, 32kbyte of dataflash and 128kbyte of on-chip SRAM. It has up to 13 serial interfaces, four additional I2C interfacesand three SPI, and a 21 channel 12bit ADC and an eight-channel, 10bit ADC. The microcontrollers have dual watch dog timers and are supported by a full C compiler package, evaluation boards and the E1 in-circuit debugger. The RX630 is also supported by the E20 high-performance in-circuit debugger.
