Renesas stellt sichere RA MCU Serie für Industrial IoT und Edge Applikationen vor

Renesas Electronics Corp. Hat Seine Renesas Advanced (RA) Familie 32-Bit Arm Cortex-M Mikrocontroller (MCUs) Vorgestellt – Eine Neue Line Engineered Für Secure IoT Endpoint Und Edge Device Development. Die RA MCUs Kombinieren Industry-leading Security, Optimized Connectivity, Rich Peripheral IP, Und User-friendly Flexible Software Package (FSP) That Streamlines Embedded Solution Design. Complementing The Hardware Is A Robust Partner Ecosystem That Supplies Compatible Software Und Hardware Building Blocks.

Applikationsbereiche Und Serien

Die RA MCUs Target A Wide Spectrum Of Applications, From Industrial Und Building Automation To Metering, Healthcare, Und Smart Home Appliances. The Family Holds PSA Certified Level 1 Status Und Is Organized Into The RA2 Series (Up To 60 MHz), RA4 Series (Up To 100 MHz), RA6 Series (Up To 200 MHz), Und A Forthcoming Dual-core RA8 Series.

The Initial Five RA MCU Groups Encompass 32 Scalable Devices That Feature Arm Cortex-M4 Und Cortex-M23 Cores. Pin Counts Range From 32 To 176 Pins, Code Flash Memory Spans 256 KB To 2 MB, Und SRAM Scales From 32 KB To 640 KB. Connectivity Options Include USB, CAN, Und Ethernet, Giving Designers The Flexibility To Migrate Seamlessly Within The RA Family.

Hardware Security Features

Security Is Built Into The Hardware: The RA MCUs House Renesas' Secure Crypto Engine IP – Certified By NIST CAVP – Arm TrustZone For Armv8-M, Und Tamper-detection Circuitry. Additional Capabilities Such As Renesas' HMI Capacitive Touch Technology Enhance User Interaction.

Development Ecosystem

Developers Can Kick-start Projects With The FSP, Which Supports Amazon FreeRTOS, ThreadX, Und Other RTOS/middleware Stacks. ThreadX RTOS Und Middleware Are Slated For Release In Early 2020. The Open Architecture Lets Teams Reuse Legacy Code Und Integrate Renesas Und Ecosystem Examples, Accelerating The Implementation Of Complex Functions Such As Connectivity Und Security.

Renesas' Roadmap For 2020 Expands The RA Lineup With PSA-certified Und Trusted Firmware-M (TF-M) API-compliant Devices, Including Cortex-M33 MCUs, Low-power Cortex-M23 Variants, Und BLE/IEEE 802.15.4 Wireless IoT Solutions.

The First Five RA MCU Groups Are Now Available Through Renesas' Distributors. Unit Prices Range From $2.50 To $7.00 For Orders Of 10 000 Pieces. The Comprehensive Development Environment Includes On-chip Debugging, IDEs, Compilers, Support Tools, Evaluation Kits, Design Files, Schematics, PCB Layouts, Und BOMs.
