TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced the expansion of its RA4 Series microcontrollers (MCUs) with 12 new RA4M2 Group MCUs. The new devices deliver an exceptional combination of very low power consumption, high performance, and enhanced security features that positions them as ideal solutions for industrial and IoT applications.
The highly power-efficient RA4M2 Group offer a market-leading operating current of only 80 µA/MHz in active mode, and low standby current of 0.7 mA. Even with these leading specifications, the new devices have an extremely fast wakeup time from standby of 30 µs. With operating frequencies up to 100 MHz, the RA4M2 MCUs are ideal for performance hungry, low power applications such as industrial and IoT edge devices.
Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today introduced PTP (Precision Time Protocol) Clock Manager, the industry’s first Linux-based. Renesas Launches New General-Purpose 64-Bit RZ/G2L Group of MPUs With Latest Arm Cortex-A55 for Improved AI Processing Renesas announced the expansion of its RZ/G2 general-purpose 64-bit MPUs.
The RA4M2 MCUs employ the Arm® Cortex®-M33 core based on Armv8-M architecture. They feature Arm TrustZone® technology and Renesas’ Secure Crypto Engine. The Secure Crypto Engine incorporates multiple symmetric and asymmetric cryptography accelerators, advanced key management, security lifecycle management, power analysis resistance, and tamper detection. This combination enables customers to realize secure element functionality, enabling safety and security in IoT edge devices for low-power applications.
“The RA4M2 MCU Group is the ideal solution for very low power IoT edge applications, combining high performance and security features with low power consumption,” said Roger Wendelken, Senior Vice President in Renesas’ IoT and Infrastructure Business Unit. “Our rollout of market-leading solutions within the RA Family is a testament to the design, manufacturing and marketing prowess that has made Renesas the pre-eminent MCU supplier worldwide.”
Key Features of the RA4M2 Group
- Very Low power consumption of 80 μA/MHz in active mode; 30 µs wakeup time
- 100-MHz Arm Cortex-M33 with TrustZone technology
- Renesas’ Secure Crypto Engine as part of a full security solution
- Scalable from 48- to 100-pin LQFP packages; also available in 48-pin QFNs

Renesas Electronics Corporation, a supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, announced its collaboration with Microsoft to accelerate the development of connected vehicles.
Renesas’ R-Car Starter Kit, based on Renesas’ R-Car automotive system-on-chip (SoC), is now available as a development environment for the Microsoft Connected Vehicle Platform (MCVP).
MCVP combines a partner ecosystem with a horizontal platform of Azure cloud, AI, and edge services on top of which mobility companies can build customer-facing solutions. Renesas has also been certified for Azure IoT Hub and Azure IoT Edge.
Additionally, it helps mobility companies accelerate the delivery of digital services across vehicle provisioning, two-way network connectivity, and continuous over-the-air updates of containerized functionality. Within the Renesas development environment, customers can use MCVP components and Renesas Board Support Package (BSP) in addition to multimedia package for R-Car.
What’s more: the R-Car Starter Kit is certified as an Azure IoT Edge device.
