8. Easiest Path to Production
What is the EasyList?
Easy List Objective:
Make it as easy as possible to select, develop, and manufacture with Renesas Microcomputers
The EasyList:
Is a very small set of precise part numbers that are representative of MCU activity
Consists of MCUs with the best peripherals, best power consumption, best performance, etc..
Is a list of MCU products that help you stop wasting time trying to figure out what parts are new, old, well supported, etc…
The EasyList is NOT the only MCU devices that RTA sells
Easiest Path to Production

9. What is the EasyList? If it is on the Printed EasyList…
Hardware manual exists on the Internet ( )
Part numbers are in the hardware and software manuals
Device is in mass production
Distributors have the price for every part number (and support tool) on this list
Development tools are in mass production
Tools are in stock for EasyList devices
Device samples are kept in stock

10. If Your Part is Not on the EasyList
It may be just as easy to develop with your part! It’s just not guaranteed
It could be that your part WAS on a previous EasyList but was removed (a cheaper/better part came along – think of die shrink)
It may be that you have selected a new part and we have not fully productized it yet (common)
It may be that you have selected a part that we are only promoting to a certain market, like automotive.
(Etc….)

14. www.Renesas.com User must define where they are from! First
Gets our Users to “america.renesas.com”

15. General Search Top Right Corner of almost every page
“by product number” by default
Type in the Series Name, or the actual Part number
Try “38024”, or “M16C/26”, or “3687”
Don’t define the whole part number.
For example, HD64F38024RH, results in no hits
“by keyword” allows you to search for something by its common name.
Try “E8” or “HEW”
By Keyword should get MUCH better results in a few months!

17. Parametric Search
Limit your search, do not put in EVERY parameter at first
Today, if you do not get an exact match we show you “closest Matches” and do not tell you
Filter is not working today (at top) – “X”

Provide Feedback on the page
Must select the Package before the # of Pins
Timer Issue
Don’t Do CPU Bit Size
Watch out for the Serial Interface issues
