‘Enabling The Smart Society’
 Challenge:
“In the smart society sensors and instruments are no longer
tethered to power lines or network cables. Sensors will be
on our bodies, our pets, in remote fields and they will have
to run for years on small batteries or utilizing energy
harvesting techniques.”
 Solution: RL78 Ultra low power MCU family
 “This lab will demonstrate the Ultra-low power RL78 MCU
family and it’s many on-chip low power peripherals, to
create a more energy efficient embedded product, with
longer battery life or capable of being powered from many
different energy harvesting sources”

Page 3, Step 1.7; With the program running in normal 32 MHz mode record the current on the
multimeter ._________________ mA
Page 4, Step 1.8; Now select the “Halt” button and record the multimeter current.
___________ mA
Page 4, Step 1.10; Select the “Stop” button and record the multimeter current. __________ mA
Page 14, Step 4.3; With the program running in normal 32 MHz mode record the current on the
multimeter ______________ mA
Page 15, Step 4.7; Click “Debug-> Go” or press F5 to RUN the program and record the current.
___________ mA
Page 16, Step 4.11; Click “Debug-> Go” or press F5 to RUN the program and record the current
___________________ mA
Page 18, Step 5.7; Now build and connect to the debugger. Run the program and note the stop
current. _________________ mA
Page 18, Step 5.8; Change the __stop(); command to a __halt(); command and compare the
currents. (_________________ mA)
Page 24, Step 6:15; To run the program you just programmed, remove the four
option jumpers and plug it back into the USB port. … You should now see the
low power current that was shown in the demo. (_________________ mA)
