RA8T2 1 GHz Arm® CM85 + 250 MHz CM33 MCU

Renesas MCUs provide outstanding real-time performance for IA networks and motor applications

Image of Renesas Electronics Corporation RA8T2 1 GHz Arm® CM85 + 250 MHz CM33 MCUThe Renesas RA8T2 is a high-end motor control MCU in the RA family. This product expands the portfolio of MCUs for motor control and is primarily intended for industrial applications where high-control precision is required. In addition to motor control, it can also provide synchronous communication and system control using Ethernet or EtherCAT, all on a single chip.

The RA8T2 was developed using the cutting-edge 22 nm process technology, achieving high-speed operation of the Arm® Cortex®-M85 core and integration of large-capacity memory. In addition, the Dual-Core option with the Arm Cortex-M33 core significantly improves parallel operation performance. In motor control, it is ideal for use cases where the main core performs real-time control, and the other core performs system control and high-speed communication.
