Renesas Synergy™ Platform MCUs

The Renesas Synergy™ microcontroller (MCU) family is designed for end applications ranging from connected mobile devices for the IoT market to high-performance embedded systems controllers. With a range of performance, features and pin-compatibility within each series, Synergy MCUs deliver the scalability, power consumption, code-reusability, and performance needs for the embedded market.

The revolutionary Synergy Platform will change the life of embedded design engineers for the better thanks to enabling the start of development at the Application Programming Interface (API) layer, allowing creativity to be focused on the differentiation of individual applications and resulting in reduced time to market, lower cost of ownership and the removal of barriers to entry.

Additionally, Renesas offers the Product Longevity Program (PLP) to help customers select the most appropriate part for applications that require long life cycles.

RE Cortex-M Ultra-low Power SOTB MCUs

World’s Most Energy Efficient MCUs with Arm® Cortex® M Core Implemented on Silicon on Thin Buried Oxide (SOTB)

The RE Family of 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) is based on the Silicon on Thin Buried Oxide (SOTB™) process technology, allowing it to realize both ultra-low current consumption in both active and standby mode and high-speed CPU operation (64MHz) at low voltage (1.62V), which is impossible to achieve with conventional bulk silicon processes. The RE01 MCU has been certified by EEMBC to have the highest score of 705 for the ULPMark-CP by the EEMBC ULPMark™ benchmark, which has been developed to provide a standard method to compare the energy efficiency of ultra-low power MCUs. In addition, the built-in energy harvesting control circuit enables the equipment to operate from energy harvesting power sources with only weak ambient energy.

The RE Family can significantly extend battery life and deliver high performance even for small batteries and energy harvesting power supplies that can supply only a small amount of current. The RE Family is suitable for many IoT applications such as hybrid watches, smart homes/buildings, healthcare, smart agriculture, structure monitoring, and trackers.

As the world's number one microcontroller (MCU) and microprocessor (MPU) vendor, Renesas offers an extensive portfolio of MCU/MPU products that provide excellent expandability while allowing customers to make full use of existing resources.
