Renesas RZ/N2L
Easily implement industrial ethernet and TSN on various industrial systems

Easily implement Industrial Ethernet and TSN on industrial systems without major changes to its internal configuration, using the RZ/N2L MPU that is optimized as a dedicated networking companion chip. The RZ/N2L is equipped with an TSN-compliant 3-port Gigabit Ethernet switch and EtherCAT® slave controller, supporting major industrial Ethernet protocol networks. This high level of integration delivers significant cost savings on the BoM, reducing PCB component count to enable compact designs.
