As a further development, Renesas plans to release 85-pin 7 × 7 mm LGA package versions starting in April 2014 to respond to needs for further system miniaturization.
(Note 1) Segment display method:
In this method, characters are displayed as a collection of segments, such as the 7-segment numeric display used in calculators, where a single numeric digit is displayed with 7 segments and numbers can be displayed with 7 or fewer control signals.
(Note 2) When comparing current drain with the earlier Renesas 78K0R/Lx3 in the LCD display state in subsystem clock operation HALT mode.
(Note 3) When comparing current drain with the earlier Renesas R8C/3xU or 78K0R/KC3-L in the state where USB communication is being performed.
(Note 4) Typical value with an oscillator element connected in HALT mode, subsystem clock (32.768 kHz) operating, and at Ta = 25°C.
(Note 5) Software touch key:
A software solution that implements touch key functions for the RL78 Family microcontrollers.
Pricing and Availability
Samples of Renesas Electronics' new RL78/L1C MCUs are available now. Pricing varies depending on memory capacity, package and number of pins. For example, the RL78/L1C MCU with 256 KB of flash, USB function and 16 KB of RAM equipped in a 100-pin package is priced at US$2.90 per unit in 10,000-unit quantities. Mass production started today and is expected to reach a combined volume of 1,000,000 units per month in 2014. (Pricing and availability are subject to change without notice.)
