Rev. 1.00 Jan. 18, 2013 Migration Guide from R8C to RL78: Clock Generator Abstract This document describes how to migrate from the R8C/36M Group clock generation circuit to the RL78/G14 clock generator. Products RL78/G14, R8C/36M Group When using this application note with other Renesas MCUs, careful evaluation is recommended after making modifications to comply with the alternate MCU.
Migration Guide from R8C to RL78: Clock Generator Differences between the R8C/36M Group and RL78/G14 Table 1.1 and Table 1.2 list the specification overview of the R8C/36M Group clock generation circuit and RL78/G14 clock generator. Table 1.3 lists the differences between the R8C/36M Group clock generation circuit and RL78/G14 clock generator.

Migration Guide from R8C to RL78: Clock Generator Clocks generated by the RL78/G14 high-speed system clock oscillator can be used as the clock source for the CPU clock or the peripheral function clock. To use the high-speed system clock oscillator, connect a crystal resonator or ceramic oscillator to pins X1 and X2.
RL78/G14, R8C/36M Group Migration Guide from R8C to RL78: Clock Generator Clocks generated by the RL78/G14 high-speed on-chip oscillator can be used as the clock source for the CPU clock or the peripheral function clock. The f oscillating frequency can be specified as 64, 48, 32, 24, 16, 12, 8, 4, or 1 MHz HOCO by setting the user option byte.
Migration Guide from R8C to RL78: Clock Generator Clocks generated by the RL78/G14 XT1 oscillator can be used as the clock source for the CPU clock or the peripheral function clock. The power consumption and oscillation margin for the XT1 oscillator can be adjusted by selecting the oscillation mode.
12-bit interval timer, or timer RJ. It cannot be used as the clock source for the CPU clock. After a reset is released, the RL78/G14 low-speed on-chip oscillator stops when bit 4 (WDTON) in the option byte (000C0H) is 0, or oscillates when bit 4 in the option byte is 1.
