With a shared design framework, these series offer feature and pin compatibility—allowing easy scalability and code reuse, accelerating time-to-market.
The rise of smart technologies and connected ecosystems, along with stricter regulations, drives manufacturers to prioritize security. Developers face tight budgets and timelines while building efficient, secure solutions. The RA Family meets these needs with hardware-based security, including isolated cryptographic operations, secure key storage, Arm TrustZone® technology, and side-channel protections.
The importance of functional safety has grown with the demand for home appliances and industrial automation. Functional safety protects people, machinery, and the environment from failure or error in manufacturing. System design and certification under functional safety standards, such as IEC 61508, requires significant time and effort, increasing costs and the risk of delays. Renesas offers a one-stop functional safety solution with general-purpose 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) featuring software to accelerate your time-to-market.
Our RAxT Series MCUs are designed with Arm Cortex-M23, Cortex-M33, or Cortex-M85 with TrustZone, offering robust processing performance and security for low- to high-end motor control applications. A wide range of communication interfaces integrate into these MCUs to address connectivity needs in a single package—simplifying development, lowering cost, and reducing space requirements. Renesas’ advanced low-power consumption technology enables energy-efficient products to meet the latest market needs.
Powered by Ethos™ -U55 neural processing unit, RA AI-accelerated MCUs provide best-in-class balance between AI processing performance and low power consumption, enabling developers to solve the tough energy issues while running AI applications. Engineers at all levels of AI expertise can jumpstart their AI development with the Robust Unified Heterogenous Model Integration (RUHMI) framework – an AI solution toolkit that efficiently deploy neural network models in a framework-agnostic manner. The RUHMI framework seamlessly integrates seamlessly with Renesas e2studio IDE, Flexible Software Package, and evaluation kits to accelerate development and shorten your product’s time-to-market.
Renesas RA Family MCUs are equipped with Arm Cortex-M cores to provide enhanced responsiveness and strong security for voice and touch HMI applications. These MCUs support displays up to WXGA/XGA and are scalable with other product families, including RX Family MCUs and RZ Family MPUs.
The IoT Cloud serves as a vital centralized network, delivering the computing power needed to process and manage the vast amounts of data generated by IoT devices. Renesas RA MCUs provide the performance and reliability required for seamless IoT cloud connectivity, with cloud kits specifically designed to help users establish a secure environment for cloud-connected applications.
Renesas entry-level MCUs, including the RA0x and RA2x series, excel in low-power consumption, making them ideal for IoT sensor applications. When paired with a LoRa transceiver, these MCUs significantly extend battery life. Additionally, robust software resources are readily available for download, simplifying design complexities and enabling effortless LoRaWAN® integration, with or without interoperability features.
