How to Read This Manual It is assumed that the readers of this manual have general knowledge of electrical
engineering, logic circuits, and microcontrollers.
• To gain a general understanding of functions:
→ Read this manual in the order of the CONTENTS. The mark “<R>” shows major
revised points. The revised points can be easily searched by copying an “<R>” in the
PDF file and specifying it in the “Find what:” field.
• How to interpret the register format:
→ For a bit number enclosed in angle brackets, the bit name is defined as a reserved
word in the assembler, and is defined as an sfr variable using the #pragma sfr
directive in the compiler.
• To know details of the RL78 Microcontroller instructions:
→ Refer to the separate document RL78 Microcontroller Instructions User’s Manual
