MSC offers 32-bit MCUs to enable cost-effective entry into the Internet of Things
The devices support applications including mobile healthcare, environmental sensors/detectors, smart appliances, and industrial and building automation.
With run-mode power consumption as low as 100 µA/MHz, 4.8 µs wake-up time and three low-power modes, including the lowest power-down mode with real-time clock (RTC), the RX110 MCUs, which are based on Renesas’ RX CPU core, enable extended life cycles for battery-powered applications such as blood glucose meters and remote control systems, to name but a few.
The new MCUs provide a complete DSP library, as well as single-cycle Multiple/Accumulate and hardware-based Divide capability and also feature three operating speeds, achieving 1.56 Dhrystone MIPS (DMIPS)/MHz throughput and 3.08 CoreMark/MHz.
To address critical compliance regulations, such as FDA/FCC certification and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standard IEC 60730, the MCUs feature several safety and security functions and peripherals, including: on-chip clock frequency accuracy measurement circuit (CAC), Data Operation Circuit (DOC), which allows for hardware-based RAM memory testing, and Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) – a hardware-based feature that prevents timing or corruption issues with the communication functions.
The new RX110 devices are supported by Renesas’ extensive development tools ecosystem whihc includes the Renesas Eclipse-based e2 studio integrated development environment (IDE) and the Renesas RX compiler, IAR Systems’ Embedded Workbench, as well as the RTOS kernels by Micrium, Segger, CMX, Express Logic, RoweBots, and FreeRTOS. The RX111 Renesas Promotion Board (RPB) provides a cost-effective evaluation platform designed to facilitate the simple evaluation of Renesas’ RX100 MCUs.
Samples of the RX110 devices are available now, with mass production scheduled for March 2014.
