Renesas Synergy™ Microcontrollers

Introduction

Spanning across four distinct series, the Renesas Synergy™ Microcontroller family is designed for end applications ranging from connected mobile devices for the IoT market to high-performance embedded systems controllers.

With a range of performance, features, and pin-compatibility within each series, Synergy MCUs deliver the scalability, power consumption, code-reusability, and performance needs for the embedded market.

Scalable and Compatible

Synergy MCUs are designed to enable high software re-use when migrating from one MCU to another, reduce PCB layout efforts, and increase manufacturing efficiency.

To enable these key benefits, Synergy MCUs maintain drop-in pin-to-pin compatibility across the same packages within each series, as well as peripheral and register compatibility across the family.

Scalable and Compatible

Components

At the silicon level, more than 70 different core function and peripheral components are used in different combinations to build devices that comprise the Synergy MCU family. These components are scalable and compatible to enable maximum re-use of software from one project to the next. Learn the functions of each MCU component here.
