Boost your portable and wearable device designs with Renesas’ RA2L2 MCU – the industry’s first to support USB Type-C Rev 2.4. Featuring an Arm® Cortex®-M23 core, RA2L2 integrates USB Full-Speed, USB-C detection, and multiple communication interfaces into a single, ultra-low-power chip (87.5 µA/MHz active, 250nA standby). Its advanced USB-C CC detection circuit seamlessly manages cable orientation and accurately identifies power capabilities up to 15W (5V/3A). The integrated USB Full-Speed functionality reduces system complexity, component count, and footprint, significantly lowering overall costs.

RA2L2 offers seamless compatibility with other low-end RA MCUs, providing flexibility to meet your cost, performance, and power requirements across multiple products.

Key Features:

  • Industry’s first MCU with USB-C Rev 2.4 support
  • Ultra-low power: 87.5 µA/MHz active, 250nA standby
  • Integrated USB FS, CAN, I3C, LPUART communication interfaces
  • Reduced BOM for smaller, cost-efficient designs
  • High compatibility within the RA MCU family
