The 78K0R series consists of 30 devices in pin counts ranging from 64 to 100 pins, and memory configurations from 64 KB up to 256 KB Flash.

Features such as 3-stage pipeline processing enable high speed processing and support performance up to 13 MIPS, while voltage control circuits and other CPU features help suppress power consumption levels to approximately half that of comparable 16-bit MCUs.

Through these technology advances, customers can develop more complex systems with advanced functions, while still meeting rigorous power consumption requirements.

The 78K0R series also features reset functions, voltage detection circuits, oscillators, calendar timers, and EMI noise reduction.

The products are pin compatible with NEC Electronics' existing 78K0 series of 8-bit MCUs, providing current customers with a smooth migration path.

The software for the 16-bit series is also compatible with the company's previous 8-bit series, enabling customers to reuse existing resources and further improve development efficiency.
