core and the peripherals of H8 family. Initially R8C/Tiny devices were made available

in low pin counts. Later on, Renesas started introducing other devices with more

peripherals and advanced features to cater to the more complex applications.

1.2 R8C/Tiny Family:

Following are key benefits designers get when they use R8C/Tiny devices:

• M16C Platform compatibility: To encourage the users with many design

choices using M16C family devices maintaining the code compatibility.

• Code compression: R8C/Tiny devices generate compact code for the given

application to save memory space.

• Low power consumption: Special power saving features of the microcontroller

extends the battery operating time.

• Extensive Fail-safe Features: The CPU core is supported with many fail safe

mechanisms to enable designers create stable and trouble free applications.

• Electro magnetic compatibility: R8C/Tiny based hardware generates less

electromagnetic radiations than any other solutions because the

microcontrollers are designed with special protection to suppress the EM

radiations.

• High performance Flash: To make designers life easy from the lab to the

field with flexible and high-speed flash memory options.

• Cost saving peripheral integration: R8C/Tiny devices

require less support devices to save the cost.

• Low cost development tools: Renesas

provides free development tools for program

development along with the flash

programming facilities. Also low cost

Emulators are available.

• Small package options:

R8C/Tiny devices are available in a

range of packages from 20 pins to

84 pins to support different

requirements.
