Provided here is the R8C/Lx series line-up, which can be thought of as the R8C/3x series with an LCD controller. This extension within the R8C family is extremely powerful as it enables users to move from one series to the other re-using 100% of their code. With such platforms, designers can develop different versions of an end-product with hardly any effort, resulting in reduced time to market. The devices presented can be categorized in four main groups identified by their pin count: the R8C/L35x (52-pin), L36x (64-pin), L38x (80-pin) and L3Ax (100-pin).
