Renesas adds more MCU options to IoT range
- Author:Ella Cai
- Release on:2017-03-31
Renesas Electronics has added new microcontrollers to its Synergy range of IoT-focused devices and software.
With the latest MCUs – S128, S3A3 and S3A6 families – there are now a total of 57 devices based on ARM Cortex-M CPU cores covering operating frequencies from 32MHz up to 240MHz, and on-chip flash memory sizes of 64KB, 128KB, 256KB, 512KB, 1MB, 2MB, and 4MB.
REN0691_Renesas_Synergy_RoadmapThe 20 new Synergy MCU devices in the S128, S3A6, and S3A3 Groups are sampling now to lead customers and will be available to the general market in June.
With Synergy, Renesas combines the ARM Cortex-M series microcontrollers with verified software and a software suite which has its own APIs.
Peter Carbone, vice president of the Synergy business at Renesas, writes:
“With the addition of these latest three MCU Groups to the MCU portfolio of the Synergy Platform, it now covers the entire selection range of memory and package sizes our customers request, and we provide the ability to easily scale up and down between them, which includes software and tools to reduce re-design efforts.”
System developers with leaner requirements can select devices from the S3A3 and S3A6 Groups to scale their applications down to 512 KB and 256 KB flash memory as needed, compared to the existing 1 MB flash MCUs in the S3A7 Group.
The S128 Group extends selections for ultra-low power applications that require larger memory up to 256 KB, or require additional analog signal conditioning, compared to the existing S124 Group MCUs.
