Renesas公司的RL78/G13采用新型RL78 CPU内核，工作频率高达32MHz，工作电压1.6V-5.5V，适合各种类型的消费类电子和工业应用，如工业自动化，家庭自动化，电动工具，白色家电，计量，医疗，照明和马达控制。本文介绍了RL78G13主要特性，方框图，RL78 RDK评估板目标应用和主要特性，方框图，电路图，材料清单和PCB元件布局图。

The RL78/G13 are built around the new RL78 CPU core, which is based on the 78K0R CPU core, and can be applied to all sorts of consumer and industrial applications.

The RL78 Family of microcontrollers (MCUs) combines advanced low power technology, outstanding performance, and the broadest line-up in its class for the most demanding 8- and 16-bit embedded applications.

The RL78 MCUs‘ innovative “Snooze“ mode achieves ultra-low power by allowing ADC operation and serial communication, all while the CPU is turned off. This makes the RL78 MCUs best in class for low power applications.
