Overview

Description

The Renesas RA6E1 group of 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) uses the high-performance Arm® Cortex®-M33 core with TrustZone®. The RA6E1 is built on a highly efficient 40nm process and is supported by an open and flexible ecosystem concept—the Flexible Software Package (FSP) —and is the perfect entry point into the RA Family of microcontrollers. The RA6E1 is suitable for entry IoT applications requiring streamlined features and connectivity integration including Ethernet, and unprecedented performance with a CoreMark® of 790.75, which is 3.95 CoreMark/MHz.

Features

  • 200MHz Arm Cortex-M33 with TrustZone
  • 512kB – 1MB Flash memory and 256kB SRAM
  • 8kB Data Flash to store data as in EEPROM
  • 1kB Stand-by SRAM
  • Scalable from 48-pin to 100-pin packages
  • Ethernet with MAC
  • USB 2.0 Full Speed
  • CAN 2.0B
  • Quad SPI
  • SCI (UART, Simple SPI, Simple I2C)
  • SPI/I2C multi-master interface
  • SDHI and MMC
