Now at Mouser: Renesas Electronics’ RZ/G3E Arm Cortex-A55-Based MPU for Human Machine Interface Applications

Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry’s leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, is now stocking the new RZ/G3E Arm Cortex-A55-based microprocessor (MPU) from Renesas Electronics. The RZ/G3E MPU is optimized for Human Machine Interface (HMI) systems requiring edge computing and AI acceleration. Providing high-speed connectivity and full HD graphics, the versatile MPU is ideal for building automation, factory equipment, medical monitors, retail terminals, and other industrial and consumer HMI applications.

The Renesas Electronics RZ/G3E MPU, now available at Mouser, features a powerful quad-core Arm Cortex-A55 processor (CPU), an Ethos-U55 Neural Processing Unit (NPU), and a Cortex-M33 core. This combination of features allows the RZ/G3E MPU to run artificial intelligence (AI) applications, such as object recognition and anomaly detection, while minimizing CPU load. For advanced HMI functionality, the RZ/G3E includes a graphics engine (GPU), video codec, and support for three types of image interfaces: LVDS (dual-link), MIPI-DSI, and parallel interface.

The built-in video codec supports both H.264 and H.265 encoding and decoding, enabling high-compression, high-quality video transmission and storage. The RZ/G3E MPU also features high-speed interfaces, including PCIe Gen3 and USB 3.2 Gen2 for fast data transfer and dual-channel Gigabit Ethernet for connectivity with cloud services, storage, and 5G modules. The Ethos-U55 NPU allows developers to scale AI models across MPU and MCU platforms, enabling consistent AI deployment across mid-range, high-end, and entry-level products.

Developers can evaluate features of the RZ/G3E MPU using the Renesas Electronics RZ/G3E-EVKIT evaluation board. The RZ/G3E-EVKIT includes a module board (SOM) that complies with the SMARC v2.1 standard, as well as a carrier board.
