RA4M3 100 MHz, 32-bit MCUs with Arm Cortex-M33 Core

Description

The Renesas RA4M3 group of 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) uses the high-performance Arm^® Cortex^®-M33 core with TrustZone^®. In concert with the secure crypto engine, it offers secure element functionality. The RA4M3 is built on a highly efficient 40nm process and is supported by an open and flexible ecosystem concept—the Flexible Software Package (FSP), built on FreeRTOS—and is expandable to use other RTOSes and middleware. The RA4M3 is suitable for IoT applications requiring vast communication options, future proof security, large embedded RAM, and low active power consumption down to 119µA/MHz running the CoreMark^® algorithm from Flash.
