Renesas Expands Market-Leading Motor Control Embedded Processing Portfolio with Over 35 New MCUs

Renesas Electronics Corporation debuted three new MCU groups targeting motor control applications. Renesas is introducing over 35 new products, including devices from both the RX and RA families. The new MCUs add to the industry’s leading motor control portfolio, including multiple MCU and MPU families, analog and power solutions, sensors, communications devices, signal conditioners and more.

Renesas is introducing two new MCU groups from its RA Family of Arm® Cortex®-M devices. The RA4T1 Group delivers 100 MHz performance with up to 256KB of flash and 40KB SRAM. The new RA6T3 Group offers 200 MHz operating frequency and provides 256KB of flash and 40KB SRAM. Both new groups offer an impressive array of features and functions specifically for motor control applications, including trigonometric function units (TFUs) for acceleration, advanced ADC with integrated PGA, as well as a wide choice of communication interfaces including CAN FD. The new parts are supported by the Renesas Flexible Software Package (FSP) for easy porting of designs from other RA family devices.

Renesas is also delivering new RX26T Group MCUs from the RX family operating at 120 MHz with up to 512KB of flash memory and 64KB SRAM (more info).
