Extended Microcontroller Family Adds Enhanced Flash Features and Optimized Human Interface Interface to End Devices
Tokyo, Japan, November 16, 2017 --Renesa Electronics Corp. (TSE: 6723), a leading global provider of semiconductor solutions, today announced the expansion of its popular family of RX65N / RX651 microcontrollers (MCUs) to meet industrial automation, building automation and smart meters For higher system security requirements, the expanded microcontroller integrates Trusted Secure IP (TSIP) with enhanced and reliable flash features and human-machine interface (HMI) for industrial and network control systems.
Tim Burgess, senior director of Renesas Electronics' high-end MCU division, said: "Industrial control system developers have chosen the same product with the same emphasis on safety, reliability and connectivity as high-performance and high-quality products." The expanded RX65N / The RX651 MCU family provides industrial system manufacturers with the high reliability, energy efficiency and enhanced connectivity required for industrial system operation while providing increased security and connectivity for edge devices in increasingly connected environments '
As devices continue to run at the edge of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), system manufacturers are increasingly demanding the security and reliability of network connectivity, including secure mobile firmware updates. The expanded RX65N / RX651 family meets Such ever-increasing security and reprogrammability requirements provide integrated TSIP, enhanced flash protection and other advanced technologies to create a better-than-market solution that is certified for Cryptographic Algorithm Verification Program (CAVP) security And stable, integrated solutions that, in turn, enable the seamless upgrading of on-site flash firmware through secure network communications.
The main features of the extended RX65N / RX651 MCUs
Integrated Trusted Secure IP (TSIP)
The new MCU with enhanced security features a 40nm process based on the high-performance RXv2 core, enabling the CPU to achieve high efficiencies of 4.55 Core Marks / MHz. By integrating the TSIP into the new MCU, system control engineers are able to pass three new Function High confidence level for equipment operation:
Protect Cryptographic Keys with TSIP Integrate Cryptographic Hardware Accelerators such as AES, 3DES, SHA, and TRNG into TSIP Secure Boot Code with Flash Area Protection
TSIP has been CAVP certified to ensure that customers use high-security-level devices.
Provides optimized network connectivity and HMI functionality for IIoT
Renesas Electronics Optimizes New RX65N / RX651 MCUs for Industrial Connectivity The new MCUs provide network connectivity and HMI support to:
Exchanging data to monitor the operating status of the machine from inside and outside the factory to change production instructions Reprogramming the MCU's memory to update device settings
Design engineers are often required to integrate small TFT displays into their IoT edge devices or system control applications, which allow users to monitor machine operation with state-of-the-art and low-cost HMI solutions RX65N / RX651 With an embedded TFT controller and integrated 2D graphics accelerator providing advanced graphics and high performance applications, it is the ideal solution for display control.While choosing the WQVGA display size, the 640KB large capacity On-chip RAM is used as a display frame buffer, saving external RAM and enabling cost-optimized designs.
Seamless live firmware update
Compared to other IoT devices, industrial applications are designed for long-term operation and involve unique and challenging requirements such as on-site firmware updates.The new RX65N / RX651 MCUs feature BGO (background operation) and SWAP capabilities Two-bank flash to help system and network control manufacturers perform field firmware updates safely and reliably.
Embedded drivers and portability via firmware integration technology (FIT)
FIT is a holistic concept that emphasizes embedded peripheral function module drivers and portability improvements between the RX65N / RX651 MCUs, aiming to ease the program development and resource management burden in software development using the RX MCU family FIT Provides a versatile application program interface for peripheral drivers and middleware in the RX family based on proven board-level support packages to control common information such as initialization of MCUs, clocks and board setups FIT applies to all RX device and is fully integrated into the development environment.
Expand RX ecosystem and increase design support
Renesas Electronics expands its robust RX development environment to help engineers get started quickly, and the new Envision suite provides an evaluation environment that enables engineers to benchmark MCU performance easily and quickly develop their own software. The new RX65N Renesas The RSK includes a development board with an MCU, display, on-chip debugger, a trial version of the Renesas C compiler and an integrated development environment (IDE) that allow engineers to evaluate and develop in minutes.
Users of the RX family can also use a variety of tools provided by ecosystem partners, such as the easy-to-use GUI (graphical user interface) tools for display solution design.
