Embedded electronics specialist Renesas has introduced a brand new entry in its RZ/G microprocessor household, the RZ/G3S — boasting, the corporate says, superior peripherals designed with the sting of the Web of Issues (IoT) firmly in thoughts and a 10µW standby energy.
“Renesas’ RZ/G has seen a gradual enhance in adoption within the world industrial human machine interface market,” claims Renesas’ Daryl Khoo. “The RZ/G3S represents the following era merchandise that can lengthen our attain to the quickly rising 5G IoT and gigabit Wi-Fi 7 gateway markets. Renesas has been aggressively increasing our connectivity portfolio in these markets by way of strategic acquisitions to supply superior connectivity options which might be energy environment friendly on the system stage and improve information utilization.”

The RZ/G3S is constructed round an Arm Cortex-A55 major core working at as much as 1.1GHz and a pair of Cortex-M33 coprocessors working at as much as 250MHz. These, Renesas says, can be found for duties together with system management, energy management, and sensor communication and information processing, decreasing the workload on the first CPU. There’s 1MB of on-chip RAM, plus a 16-bit DDR4 interface for exterior dynamic RAM (DRAM).
That major CPU, in the meantime, comes with help for a Verified Linux Package deal (VLP) primarily based on Civil Infrastructure Platform Linux and, the corporate says, provides a quick boot-up time when paired with DDR reminiscence self-refresh. In standby, the sub-CPUs can stay operational with an influence draw as little as 40mW — whereas full standby attracts simply 10µW, the corporate says. Error Correction Code (ECC) is carried out within the half’s inner reminiscence and on its exterior DDR interface.

To exhibit the half’s potential, Rensas has put collectively one in all its “Profitable Mixture” reference designs, a single-board pc appropriate to be used as an Web of Issues gateway. This, the corporate says, makes full use of the RZ/G3S’ numerous peripherals together with gigabit Ethernet, USB, PCI Categorical (PCIe), and CAN, RS485, UART, and I2C buses.
The RZ/G3S is now accessible to order in-channel and by way of the Renesas web site, with pricing beginning at $19.75 earlier than quantity reductions; extra info on the single-board pc reference design is obtainable on its devoted touchdown web page.
