Renesas RA Family 32-bit MCU with Arm® Cortex®-M core

Renesas Electronics unveils RA Family of 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M microcontrollers (MCUs) with superior performance and advanced security for intelligent IoT edge applications. The RA family consist of four product series of MCUs, ranging from small mobile devices to larger, high-performance, calculation-intensive embedded system controllers. The RA Family is supported by an open and flexible ecosystem concept called Flexible Software Package (FSP), based on FreeRTOS, but it can be replaced and expanded by any other RTOS or middleware. A common DNA makes these MCUs feature- and pin-compatible.
