Renesas has introduced the RZ/G3E microprocessor (MPU), designed specifically for high-performance Human Machine Interface (HMI) applications, incorporating AI acceleration and edge computing capabilities.
The MPU houses a quad-core Arm Cortex-A55 CPU (clocked up to 1.8GHz), a Neural Processing Unit (NPU), and advanced graphics to support Full HD displays.
It is equipped to handle AI tasks like image classification, object recognition, and voice recognition efficiently while reducing CPU load, offering dual Full HD output and various video interfaces. High-speed connectivity features include PCIe 3.0, USB 3.2 Gen2, dual Gigabit Ethernet, and 5G communication support.
Daryl Khoo, Renesas’ vice president of embedded processing, expresses, “The RZ/G3E enhances the already impressive performance of the RZ/G series by incorporating an NPU for AI processing. With the Ethos-U55 NPU, shared with our RA8P1 microcontroller, we expand our AI embedded processor range, offering scalability for AI development. These enhancements cater to the evolving needs of future HMI applications involving vision, voice, and real-time analytics with robust AI capabilities.”
The RZ/G3E boasts advanced power management for low-power standby modes and rapid Linux resume, supported by a wide range of Linux software such as Ubuntu, Debian, and Yocto. Noteworthy features include a Cortex-M33 core, Ethos-U55 NPU, 32-bit LPDDR4/LPDDR4X memory with ECC, and a 15-year product longevity program.
The RZ/G3E and its evaluation board kit are currently available, targeting industrial and consumer HMI systems like factory equipment, medical monitors, and retail terminals.
