In summary, Renesas’s RL78/G15 is a general-purpose microcontroller with a 16MHz operating frequency. There is a wide lineup available, including the smallest 8-pin package in the RL78 family, and support for a wide range of operating ambient temperatures from -40°C to +125°C. The built-in high-speed on-chip oscillator with high accuracy (±1.0%), the data Flash, the rich serial interfaces, and the comparator make it ideal for compact applications where space comes at a premium. A full development environment for the RL78/G15 is provided, including an evaluation board (FPB) enabling writing and debugging programs by simply connecting a USB cable, a smart configurator that facilitates software design with a GUI, and an Arduino^™ library. Moreover, it is compatible with the existing RL78 family and can be used in a wide range of applications, from home appliances and consumer electronics to industrial equipment.
