Development of New Microcontroller Integrating Advanced Timer Modules and Event Controller for Industrial Automation and Medical and Consumer Applications
Renesas Electronics has announced the development of a new series of microcontrollers (MCU) with enhanced real-time control capabilities. The new 16-bit, RL78 MCU family comes with advanced timer modules, Timer RD, Timer RG, and Timer RJ. The Timer RD consists of two 16-bit timers operating at 64 MHz and a pulse wave modulation (PWNM) function capable of outputting 6 three-phase waveforms with the amplitude specified by the users. The Timer RG is a 16-bit timer module which can automatically measure the counts of a two-phase encoder in phase counting mode. And finally Timer RJ is a 16-bit timer module capable of measuring the pulse width or cycle of pulse output or external pulse input. Read more
