MCUs suit automation, smart applications

The RA8E1 and RA8E2 MCUs boast multiple integrated low-power modes and features to improve efficiency and streamline costs for general-purpose and advanced voice, vision and graphics applications in industrial automation, smart buildings and offices, healthcare and medical, and home appliance applications.

The Renesas RA8E1 and RA8E2 are entry-line 32-bit MCUs based on the Arm Cortex-M85 (CM85) core (360MHz/480MHz) with Helium and TrustZone, delivering breakthrough performance (6.39 CoreMarks/MHz / 3000 CoreMarks @ 480MHz,) with fully deterministic, low-latency, real-time operation to enable the most demanding application needs.

Both devices integrate low-power features and multiple low-power modes to improve power efficiency while still delivering this industry-leading performance.

The RA8E1 MCUs integrate the high-performance CM85 core with 1MB Flash code and 544KB SRAM memory, multiple external interfaces and an optimized peripheral set, including an 8-bit Capture Engine Unit (CEU) camera interface that addresses the needs of both price-sensitive and high-performance applications.

These MCUs are available in 100 and 144-pin LQFP packages and are fully supported by the RA Flexible Software Package and a comprehensive set of hardware and software development tools.

The RA8E2 MCUs offer 3000 Coremark performance with an integrated high-performance CM85 core, a large 1MB code flash with 672KB SRAM memory, and an optimized peripheral set including a graphics TFT-LCD controller with parallel RGB interface, 2D drawing engine, and multiple external memory interfaces, for high-performance graphics applications.

These MCUs are available in 224-pin packages that are also fully supported by the RA Flexible Software Package and a comprehensive set of hardware and software development tools.
