Renesas Electronics RA2L2 48MHz Arm®-Cortex®-M23 Microcontroller

Renesas Electronics RA2L2 48MHz Arm®-Cortex®-M23 Microcontroller (MCU) provides rich communication peripheral features targeting a wide range of applications. RA2L2 is a USB MCU compliant with USB Type-C® Standard Rev 2.4. Users can simplify system design and reduce system cost/footprint with USB FS, USB-C CC detection, I3C, LPUART, CAN, I2S, and low-power operation. The Renesas Electronics RA2L2 offers low power consumption for long battery life operation. Also, it has a low-power operation mode during standby, making it possible to reduce the system's current consumption.
