A Look at the M16C Lineup

R8C/Tiny & M16C/Tiny

The R8C/Tiny series is based on a 1-MB memory space, but it features smaller package styles. Standard on-chip peripherals include 8-bit multifunction timers, UART/SSI, a 10-bit ADC, an input capture timer, a watchdog, and other system protection circuits. Note that the key features shown in Table 1 are specific for the R8C/13 (group 13) of this series.

The operation voltage for the R8C/Tiny series of parts is 3 to 5.5 V at up to 20 MHz. They can also operate down to 2.7 V with a slightly reduced maximum speed of 10 MHz. 

The M16C/Tiny series is based on a 1-MB memory space and middle and high pin count packaging. Standard on-chip peripherals include 16-bit multifunction timers, twin DMACs, UART/SSI, 10-bit A/D conversion, an input capture timer, a watchdog, and other system protection circuits. Table 1 shows key features of the M16C/28 series (group 28). The operation voltage range for the M16C/Tiny series of parts is the same as that for the R8C/Tiny.
