Renesas introduces RZ/G3S microprocessor for IoT devices
Summary
As the latest addition to Renesas’ RZ/G Series MPU, the RZ/G3S is designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern IoT devices, offering power consumption as low as 10µW (microwatts) in standby mode and fast startup for the Linux operating system. The MPU also supports the DDR self-refresh function which allows to retain DRAM data, while also enabling fast Linux startup. Similar to other RZ/G devices, the RZ/G3S features an ECC (Error Correction Code) function in both internal memory and external DDR interface to maintain data integrity. Renesas has combined the new RZ/G3S MPU with optimised power management ICs and clock products to develop the ‘Single Board Computer Gateway’. The Winning Combinations are technically vetted system architectures from mutually compatible devices that work together seamlessly to bring an optimised, low-risk design for faster time to market.
