• Deliver throughput levels that extend to those attained by 32-bit devices
• Span a wide range of integration, performance and price points
• Offer many versions with on-chip flash (up to 512 KB)"more than any other 8/16-bit architecture
• Have extensive hardware and software support from Renesas and third-party suppliers
• Meet the needs of diverse applications—now and in the future.
