Global Semiconductor Solutions Supplier Ruisa Electronics (TSE: 6723) today disclosed the next -generation system (SOC) and microcontroller (MCU) programs for all major applications for the automotive field.

Ruisa first announced the relevant information of the fifth-generation R-CAR SOC. The SOC is facing high-performance applications and adopts advanced Chiclet small chip packaging integration technology, which will bring greater flexibility to vehicle engineers when designing.For example, if the advanced driving assistance system (ADAS) needs to take into account the more prominent AI performance, the engineer can integrate the AI ​​accelerator into a single chip.

Ruisa also shared the two MCU product planning of the next-generation R-CAR product family that is about to launch: one is the new cross-border MCU series, which aims to use the domain and regional electronic control unit (ECU ECU in the E/E architecture in the next-generation car E/E architecture (ECU ) To create the high performance required, this product will reduce the performance gap between traditional MCUs and advanced R-CAR SOC; Risa will also release an independent MCU platform tailored for vehicle control applications.Both MCUs will adopt the ARM? Architecture and will become an important member of the R-CAR product family of excellent R-CAR products, providing a complete scalable option and software reuse for vehicle engineers.

As part of the product roadmap, Ruisa plans to provide a virtual software development environment, which cooperates with the well -known "left move" mode.These software tools will allow customers to design and test software earlier during the development process.

Vivek Bhan, Senior Vice President, Co-General Manager of High Performance Computing, Analog and Power Solutions Group at Renesas表示：“基于与一级供应商和OEM客户多年的合作及讨论，瑞萨制定了这一路线图。 The most customer feedback we receive is to speed up the development speed without affecting the quality. This means that we must start software design and verification before getting hardware. Therefore, we will continue to invest in the "left move" mode and software priority. Innovate, deploy new scalable embedded processors, and strengthen Risa's huge development tool network to help customers achieve their goals. "

The fifth-generation R-CAR SOC platform

Until the fourth generation was launched, R-CAR SOC was designed for specific cases, such as ADAS/autonomous driving that requires high-end AI performance, and gateway solutions with enhanced communication functions.The fifth-generation R-CAR SOC of Risa will use Chiplet technology to build a flexible platform, which can be customized according to different requirements of different cases.The new platform will provide a variety of processor sets from entry -level to high -end models, and can integrate various IPs such as AI accelerators, as well as IPs of partners and customers to a single package.As a result, it will bring users to customize design according to their own needs.

Two new ARM kernel MCU platforms for vehicle control applications

With the continuous development of the car E/E architecture, the high -performance calculation and real -time processing capacity of the domain control unit (DCU) and regional control units becomes more and more important.In order to cope with this challenge, Ruisa has developed a 32-bit cross-border R-CAR MCU platform based on the ARM core. This platform has built-in NVM (non-easy-to-loss memory), which can provide higher performance than the current traditional MCU.In addition, based on the outstanding achievements of the RH850 product family MCU, Risa also launched a new R-CAR MCU series that also adopts ARM technology to expand its vehicle control product lineup.This means that vehicle system developers will use these new MCUs to build dynamic assembly, body control, chassis and dashboard systems with the help of Software and huge ecosystems of ARM and huge ecosystems for the first time.This expansion will enable Ruisa to achieve IP standardization between MCU and SOC, thereby improving the availability of software and reducing customer development costs.

Ruisa plans to launch new products in accordance with this route from 2024.

Software development environment

As the scale and complexity of car software continues to increase, the traditional model of software design using hardware for software design is gradually outdated due to its lengthy production process.Ruisa has taken the lead in launching the application software virtual development environment to provide advanced debugging and evaluation tools for analysis and evaluation software performance.Since the first quarter of 2024, Risa will provide these tools for the next generation of processors.In this way, developers can even accelerate their software development work before the next generation of equipment, thereby pushing products to the market faster.
