Renesas Introduces RA6T2 MCUs

Renesas Electronics Corporation, today introduced the RA6T2 Team MCUs including an abundant collection of outer functions and also equipment accelerator designed specifically for electric motor control. The brand-new RA6T2 Team MCUs supply an unmatched mix of performance, functions, as well as cost-efficiency for electric motor control layouts in residence appliances, clever residence, commercial as well as building automation, as well as inverter control.

Based upon the 240-MHz Arm Cortex-M33 core, the brand-new RA6T2 32-bit MCUs include peripherals optimized for high efficiency and also precision motor control in order to lower expense of products (BOM) price while boosting efficiency. For instance, 2 independent ADC devices provide high-speed conversion with an optimal rate of 0.16 µ& micro; sec and include a synchronised example and also hold function for three channels to detect the three-phase current of an electric motor. In addition, amplifiers that can establish the gain according to the input voltage array are built in, and also analog parts that were formerly external are included, including comparators which find unusual voltage input and over current. In addition, the adjustable PWM timer makes it very easy to port existing algorithms. It likewise provides, in cooperation with various other analog functions, a PWM output cutoff security feature in case of a problem. With these functions, a single RA6T2 MCU can concurrently regulate up to 2 brushless DC (BLDC) motors.

The embedded hardware accelerator consists of both a Trigonometric Feature Unit (TFU) and also an Infinite Impulse Reaction (IIR) filter. The TFU executes high speed calculations without the need for lookup tables, making it possible for reliable use of ROM. The IIR filter provides coefficient setting methods that alleviate porting from existing formulas.

“& ldquo; Our electric motor control consumers are aiming to separate their items in very competitive markets,” & rdquo; stated Roger Wendelken, Senior Vice President in the IoT and also Framework Service System at Renesas. “& ldquo; The RA6T2 Group provides a distinct combination of efficiency as well as functions that allow cost-effective, effective styles for a wide variety of applications.”
