August 4, 2022, Beijing, China News - worldwidesemiconductorsolutionSupply RENESAS Electronics (TS: 6723) announced today that the Rz/A3UL microprocessor (MPU) product group -to achieve high -definition human interface (HMI) and rapid startup functions for applications that require high throughput and real -time capabilities. The new RZ/A3UL allows users to give full play to the potential of the real-time operating system (RTOS), while making full use of the 64-bit ARM® Cortex®-A55 CPU core with a maximum operating frequency of 1GHz. Using RTOS can immediately start the system within less than a second after guidance. This function is very suitable for a system that needs to be responded quickly, such as LCDmonitorOr control panel industrial equipment, home appliances and office automation equipment, as well as audio equipment and POS terminals.

The new RZ/A3ul MPU integrates a 8 -line SPI memory interface (note), which helps a simpler and more compact circuit board design. In addition, the new device also includes a version that supports DDR3L/DDR4 memory interface to obtain a connection with high -speed DRAM. For example, the data transmission speed implemented by the DDR3L/DDR4 memory interface is about 10 times faster than the 8 -line SPI memory interface, and the high -definition (1280 x 720) level is increased to the maximum extent.monitorAnd based on camera input or various typessensorThe performance of interaction and more complicated HMI.

RZ/A3ul supportindustryTwo excellent RTOS: freestos and Azure RTOS.RisaAs an authorized supplier of the RZ product family Azure RTOS, users can simply download high -performance Azure RTOS from GitHub and start using it immediately. In addition, Ruisa also offers a flexible configuration software package containing FreeRTOS and HAL (hardware abstract layers) drivers for developers for reference when developing their own applications. A wide range of middleware can also be used for two operating systems to further reduce development time and cost.

Gato Maoshu, vice president of Renesas Electronic Enterprise Infrastructure Business DepartmentSaid: "Many customers who use RTOS tell us that they want to retain outstanding real -time ability and fast startup functions, but they also want to obtain higher resolution and excellent performance. It is more powerful, and at the same time, it can also bring the flexibility and ease of use provided by the MCU. "

MicrosoftVice President and AZure IoT, Light Edge, AI General Manager Moe TanabianIt said: "High -performance MPUs like RZ/A3UL combine the real -time function of Azure RTOS, which will directly improve the performance of our customer devices."

Rz/A3UL's peripheral function and packaging pin allocation, compatible with the CORTEX-A55 kernel and facing RZ/G2ul based on Linux HMI applications, as well as RISC-V-based RZ/FIVE products. This means that engineers only need to replacechipYou can use the same circuit board design to design new products. Compatibility between devices also enable engineers to easily transition from products running RTOS to products -based products, thereby promoting efficient development of multiple product models.

Successful product portfolio based on RZ/A3UL

RenesasDesigned a HMI solution, that is, "RTOS -based RZ/A3ul HMI SMARC SOM".RisaAnd other compatible devices in its partner product portfolio. This successful product portfolio is used as a module that meets the industry standard SMARC 2.1, and integrates the DA9062 power management IC, 5P35023 programmable clock generator, AT25QL128A flash memory IC, and S -function System reset and other peripheral functions.LG46538 GreenPak and other devices. It can be used to evaluate RZ/A3UL, or it can also be used as a reference design to help shorten the development time.RisaBased on the various products in its product lineup, more than 300 "successful product portfolios" are launched.
