New Product Release | Renesas launches new MCU that supports high-resolution simulation function and firmware online upgrade function to help customer systems achieve energy-saving goals

For energy management, home appliances,

for building automation and medical applications

Low power consumption, streamlined products

RA2A2 products bring a variety of power supply structures and voltage detection hardware to achieve high energy efficiency and ultra-low power operation. Power consumption can be as low as 100µA/MHz in run mode and as low as 0.40µA in software standby mode. An independently powered real-time clock extends battery life for applications that manage long periods of time under extreme conditions. The new MCUs also offer AES hardware acceleration, a high-precision (±1.0%) high-speed on-chip oscillator, a temperature sensor and a wide operating voltage range of 1.6V to 5.5V.

RA2A2 MCU helps digitize traditional systems. Its main functions include advanced analog sensing, FOTA support, 8KHz/4KHz hybrid sampling and AES hardware accelerator. After the terminal system is digitized, the status of each system can be seamlessly analyzed, thereby further improving energy efficiency and simplifying system operations. For example, next-generation smart meters with non-intrusive load management (NILM) technology can monitor energy consumption based on detailed analysis of total load current and voltage. Smart meters using NILM technology have become one of the most cost-effective and scalable solutions to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

The new RA2A2 product group MCUs are supported by Renesas Flexible Configuration Software Package (FSP) . FSP brings all the infrastructure software needed, including multiple RTOS, BSPs, peripheral drivers, middleware, connectivity, network and security stacks, as well as reference software for building complex AI, motor control and cloud solutions, This speeds up application development. It allows customers to integrate their existing code and RTOS of choice with the FSP, creating full flexibility for application development. Customers can use FSP to easily migrate existing designs to larger RA series products based on their own needs.

Renesas has combined the new RA2A2 product group MCU with the many compatible devices in its portfolio to create a broad "successful product portfolio," including "green three-phase smart meters . " These "win portfolios" are based on products that are compatible and work seamlessly together, with technically proven system architectures, resulting in optimized, low-risk designs to accelerate time to market. Renesas has now launched more than 400 "successful product portfolios" based on various products in its product lineup, enabling customers to accelerate the design process and bring products to market faster.
