RA8D1 480 MHz Arm® Cortex®-M85 MCU

Renesas’ RA8D1 32-bit graphics-enabled microcontrollers (MCU) are based on the Arm Cortex-M85 (CM85) core, delivering breakthrough performance of over 3000 CoreMark points at 480 MHz and superior graphics capabilities that enable high resolutions display and vision AI applications. These general-purpose MCU devices address diverse high-performance and compute-intensive applications in industrial automation, home appliances, smart home, consumer, building/home automation, and medical/healthcare market segments.

The RA8D1 MCUs integrate the high-performance CM85 core with large memory and a rich peripheral set, including a high-resolution TFT-LCD controller with parallel RGB and MIPI-DSI interfaces, 2D drawing engine, 16-bit camera interface, and multiple external memory interfaces, optimized to address the needs of diverse graphics and Vision AI applications. These MCUs are available in 176-pin and 224-pin packages. Secure element-like functionality is built-in with advanced cryptographic security IP, immutable storage, a true secure boot, and tamper protection, for truly secure IoT.

The RA8D1 MCUs are fully supported by the flexible software package and a comprehensive set of hardware and software development tools.
