Quad-core MPU adds AI edge to HMI apps
The Renesas 64-bit RZ/G3E microprocessor powers HMI applications with a quad-core Arm Cortex-A55 CPU and Ethos-U55 neural processing unit (NPU) for AI tasks. Running at up to 1.8 GHz, the Cortex-A55 handles both HMI and edge computing functions, while an integrated Cortex-M33 core performs real-time tasks independently of the main CPU to enable low-power operation.
With Full HD graphics and high-speed connectivity, the RZ/G3E is well-suited for industrial and consumer HMI systems, including factory equipment, medical monitors, retail terminals, and building automation. It outputs 1920×1080 video at 60 fps on two independent displays via an LVDS (dual-link) interface. MIPI-DSI and parallel RGB outputs are also available, along with a MIPI-CSI interface for video input and sensing tasks.
The microprocessor’s 1-GHz NPU delivers 512 GOPS for AI workloads such as image classification, object and voice recognition, and anomaly detection—while offloading the CPU. Power management features in the RZ/G3S reduce standby consumption by maintaining sub-CPU operation and peripheral functions at approximately 50 mW, dropping to about 1 mW in deep standby mode.
The RZ/G3E microprocessor is available now. Visit the product page below to check distributor availability.
