Microprocessor supports USB and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces

The RZ / G1C microprocessor is Renesas’ latest addition to its high performance RZ / G-series. It is suitable for applications ranging from entry-level solutions to high complexity embedded systems. Thanks to its support for a 3D graphics engine and a Full HD (FHD) video decoder, it allows for fast development of powerful HMI and visual applications.

The microprocessor is available now from www.rutronik24.com.

The RZ / G1C, which is based on the 1.0GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A7-CPU, offers performance and balance for networked HMI systems. It supports a variety of interfaces, including USB and Gigabit Ethernet (GbE).

Thanks to full pin compatibility among the derivatives, users can flexibly replace RZ series products – whether low or high-end – enabling even future requirements to be satisfied.

The device has an integrated PowerVR SGX5313D graphics engine and an FHD H.264 video decoder. It also offers one analogue and two digital camera inputs for embedded computer vision and other video applications. The RZ / G1C is also optimised for Linux-based application development.

Because the RZ / G1C does not require a power sequencer or PMIC on the circuit board, this reduces BOM costs and simplifies the development and production of circuit boards.
