RL78/G24 is a general-purpose MCU with a CPU operating frequency up to 48MHz. It is equipped with a flexible application accelerator (FAA) and has the most powerful processing power among the RL78 series MCU products.
Three major features of RL78/G24 MCU
1
The RL78 series MCU products with the strongest computing processing capabilities
RL78/G24 has a CPU operating frequency of up to 48MHz for the first time among the RL78 series MCU products. It is equipped with a flexible application accelerator (FAA) dedicated to computing processing, and has the most powerful performance in the history of the RL78 series MCU.
The FAA is a CPU-independent assist processor that performs 32-bit multiplication, addition, and subtraction operations in a single cycle. Because it can run independently of the CPU, processing such as inverter control, encryption and detection can be shared between the CPU and FAA, increasing processing speed.

Rich timers and enhanced simulation capabilities
The simulation function of RL78/G24 is more powerful than the previous RL78 series products.
It has a built-in AD converter with a maximum conversion speed of 1µs, which can simultaneously sample three channels; a high-speed comparator with an output delay of 50ns, and a dual-channel 8-bit DC converter. The two converters can be combined as A 10-bit single channel converter.
In addition, compared with previous RL78 series products, its various timer functions have been expanded and are suitable for motor control, inverter control, power control and lighting control.

Support various industrial communications
RL78/G24 supports industrial communication standard SM/PM bus communication, and with the help of hardware, it can also support lighting communication standard DALI, which can further simplify the design and reduce system costs.
Tools that simplify development
1
Smart Configurator Easy initial setup
It supports GUI tools and smart configurators that can automatically and easily generate initialization programs. It is also a proven tool that supports many Renesas microcontrollers, enabling rapid and intelligent software development based on customer applications.
In addition, FAA can add pre-prepared libraries in the smart configurator.
2
Ready-to-try evaluation boards and evaluation boards customized for solution development
Two types of evaluation boards are available for the RL78/G24:
RL78/G24 rapid prototyping board is an evaluation board dedicated for prototype development. You only need to connect the USB cable to write and debug programs. In addition, it has a variety of standard connectors for easy function expansion.
Solution Evaluation Kits are evaluation boards designed for initial evaluation of solutions and are available in two types: one for motor applications and the other for power/lighting applications.

Speed up prototyping with Arduino libraries
We provide Arduino libraries that run on rapid prototyping boards and also support the Arduino IDE. Users can not only obtain RL78 resources, but also benefit from a large number of Arduino resources, which helps users implement creative designs as early as possible.
