Overview

The RL78 Family of microcontrollers (MCUs) combines advanced low power technology, outstanding performance, and the broadest line-up in its class for the most demanding 8- and 16-bit embedded applications.

The CPU core of the new RL78 Family is based on the 78K0R CPU, with even higher performance and lower power consumption.
The RL78 incorporates a large variety of peripheral functions from the 78K and R8C with proven results in a variety of implementations, so software resources that were used with previous 78K and R8C products can be reused effectively.

Target applications

Patient monitors, toothbrushes, smoke detectors, home appliances, industrial gauges, battery-operated power tools, computer peripherals and audio equipment
