15. Operational Amplifier (OPAMP) with Configurable Switches
The RA2A1 MCU has Operational Amplifiers (OPAMP) that can be used to amplify small analog input
voltages and output the amplified voltages. The MCU has a total of three differential operational amplifier
units, each with two input pins and one output pin.
The operational amplifiers have the following functions:
•
OPAMP0 and OPAMP1 can be used to input signals to the Low-Power Analog Comparator (ACMPLP)
and the 24-bit Sigma-Delta A/D Converter (SDADC24).
•
High-speed mode (high-current consumption), middle-speed mode (medium-current consumption), and
low-power mode (slow-speed response) are supported and any mode can be selected based on trade-
offs between the response speed and current consumption.
•
Operation can be started by a trigger from the Asynchronous General Purpose Timer (AGT).
•
Operation can be stopped by a 16-bit A/D conversion end trigger.
•
All units have switches that can select input signals. Additionally, OPAMP0 has a switch that can select
the output pin.
•
The output of the OPAMP can be output from the AMP0O to AMP2O pins without passing through the
switch.
•
The I/O signals of all OPAMP units can be used for the input signals to the ADC16
•
The signal output from the DAC8 and DAC12 can be used as the positive input signal for each OPAMP.
•
A voltage follower circuit can be configured by connecting the output signal from an OPAMP to the
negative input signal of the same OPAMP.
Renesas FSP provides an Operational Amplifier driver and driver configurator to set up OPAMPs, pin
connections, etc. Figure 31 shows an example of setting up OPAMP0 to form a voltage follower with P500,
P501, P502 as plus input pin, plus minus pin, output pin respectively. The plus input is also set up to connect
to DAC12 output internally in the folllowing example.
