Overview

Description

RZ/G3E is a microprocessor (MPU) integrated with quad CPU and NPU in one chip, improving power efficiency, reliability, and security for human machine interface (HMI) applications. The RZ/G3E offers rich HMI functions including graphics engine (GPU), video codec, multi-screen full HD output, and Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for edge computing functions. In addition to the Cortex-A55 quad core delivering a powerful 1.8GHz to run both HMI and edge computing functions, RZ/G3E also features a Cortex-M33 core to enable low power operation. The combination of two different cores enables users to build products with both high performance and low power consumption.
