Renesas introduces entry-level RA0 MCU series
Summary
In addition, Renesas offers a software standby mode in the new MCUs that reduces power consumption by a further 99% to a miniscule 0.2 µA. “The RA0E1 Group MCUs deliver the ultra-low power and low cost needed for price-sensitive systems without sacrificing safety, data security and ease-of-design. Coupled with the recent introduction of the high-performance RA8 Series, Renesas now offers the premier MCU solution for any customer application anywhere in the world.” "Power-constrained IoT embedded applications addressing markets such as industrial and smart home have specific performance, efficiency, and security needs,” said Paul Williamson, Senior Vice President and General Manager, IoT Line of Business at Arm. “Renesas’ RA MCU Family, built on Arm technology, now offers solutions ranging from low power RA0 MCUs to the high performance AI-capable RA8 devices, all with a common design environment that enables easy and fast development and migration.” • Memory: Up to 64KB integrated code flash memory and 12KB SRAM • Communications peripherals: three UARTs, 1 Async UART, three Simplified SPIs, 1 IIC, three Simplified IICs The new RA0E1 Group MCUs are supported by Renesas’ Flexible Software Package (FSP). 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.
