RZ Family 32 & 64-Bit Microprocessors (MPUs)

The innovative design of the Renesas RZ Family of 32-bit and 64-bit MPUs includes multi-architectures and a combination of Arm® cores and Ethos™-U55. This provides the performance you need to develop cutting-edge solutions in edge AI, vision AI, high-resolution HMI, and industrial automation applications.

With advanced AI accelerators and versatile peripherals integrated into these MPUs, the RZ Family simplifies application development, including EtherCAT and 5G communications, in a single-chip solution. Scalability between select MPU and MCU series helps reduce development effort and cost.

Customized for Excellence

Experience best-in-class efficiency and performance with RZ Family MPUs, designed with single and customized Arm cores that can offload the main CPU and assign CPUs for the focus task.

Market-Aligned Platform

Operate our MPUs with ease using either the (real-time operating system (RTOS) or the feature-rich Linux OS that facilitates multitasking and enables quick start up.

Long-Term Reliability

Access the Verified Linux package, including the Linux kernel, middleware drivers, and basic software, verified by Renesas for 10 years to help protect your systems from cyberthreats.
