The devices' RXv2 CPU core is said to achieve a performance benchmark score of 4.16Coremark/MHz, with operating speeds of up to 54MHz from a supply of 1.8 to 5.5V, the MCUs reduce the time required for high-processing load tasks such as digital filtering.
The MCUs consume 0.8 µA in standby mode and 120µA/MHz when the CPU is active with peripherals off. The devices are said to recover from standby mode in a maximum of 5µs, making it possible to reduce current loss during recovery and allow the application to react quickly to external events. The group has a maximum operating temperature of -40 to 105°C.
Connectivity, security and safety features are said to make the RX231 MCUs suited to applications that require high processing performance in environments with low current supply capacity, such as industrial sensors, healthcare devices, wearable devices, and building automation devices such as thermostats.
