Cortex-M85 MCUs improve motor control
The third group in the Renesas RA8 series of MCUs, RA8T1 devices offer real-time control of motors and inverters used in industrial, building, and home automation. Like other RA8 microcontrollers, the RA8T1 group is based on a 480-MHz Arm Cortex-M85 processor that delivers a performance rating of 6.39 CoreMark/MHz. Arm Helium technology boosts performance by as much as 4X for DSP and ML implementations. This enhanced performance can be used to execute AI functions, such as predictive maintenance.
Optimized for motor control, the RA8T1 32-bit MCUs provide advanced PWM timing features, such as three-phase complementary output, 0% and 100% duty output capability, and five-phase counting modes. On-chip analog peripherals include 12-bit ADCs, 12-bit DACs, high-speed comparators, and a temperature sensor.
The RA8T1 devices integrate up to 2 Mbytes of flash memory and 1 Mbyte of SRAM. Multiple connectivity interfaces are available, such as SCI, SPI, I2C, I3C, CAN/CAN-FD, Ethernet, and USB-FS. In addition, Arm TrustZone technology and Renesas Security IP provide advanced security and encryption.
Offered in 224-pin BGA packages, as well as LQFPs with 100, 144, and 176 pins, the RA8T1 MCUs are available now. Samples and development kits can be ordered on the Renesas website or through the company’s network of distributors.
