1. Overview
1.1 Outline of Specifications
Table 1.1 shows the outline of the specifications and Table 1.2 shows the comparison of the functions of products in
different packages.
Table 1.1 is for products with the greatest number of functions, so numbers of peripheral modules and channels will
differ in accord with the package. For details, see Table 1.2, Comparison of Functions for Different Packages.

MCU operating mode
Single-chip mode
Clock
Clock generation circuit
 Main clock oscillator, sub-clock oscillator, low-speed on-chip oscillator, high-speed on-chip oscillator,
PLL frequency synthesizer, and IWDT-dedicated on-chip oscillator
 Oscillation stop detection
 Measuring circuit for accuracy of clock frequency (clock-accuracy check: CAC)
 Independent settings for the system clock (ICLK), peripheral module clock (PCLK), and FlashIF clock
(FCLK)
The CPU and system sections such as other bus masters run in synchronization with the system
clock (ICLK): 50 MHz (at max.)
Peripheral modules run in synchronization with the peripheral module clock (PCLK):25 MHz (at max.)
The flash peripheral circuit runs in synchronization with the flash peripheral clock (FCLK): 25 MHz (at
max.)
Reset
RES# pin reset, power-on reset, voltage monitoring reset, watchdog timer reset, independent watchdog
timer reset, deep software standby reset, and software reset
Voltage detection Voltage detection circuit
(LVDAa)
 When the voltage on VCC falls below the voltage detection level, an internal reset or internal interrupt
is generated.
Voltage detection circuit 0 is capable of selecting the detection voltage from 2 levels
Voltage detection circuit 1 is capable of selecting the detection voltage from 9 levels
Voltage detection circuit 2 is capable of selecting the detection voltage from 9 levels
