  • Source:Network finishing
  • Release on:2023-12-13

Global Semiconductor Solutions Supplier Ruisa Electronics (TSE: 6723) today announced the launch of the RA8D1 microcontroller (MCU) product group.The RA8D1 product group is the second product of the Ruisa RA8 series. The RA8 is the first MCU based on the ARM Cortex-M85 processor.The RA8D1 MCU has a breakthrough performance of more than 6.39 Coremark/MHz (note). Combining sufficient memory and optimized graphics and peripheral functions, it can meet the widely used graphics of various types of graphics such as building automation, household appliances, smart home, consumption and medical care Show and voice/visual multi -modal AI requirements.

All RA8 series MCUs use the high-performance brought by the ARM Cortex-M85 processor and HELIUM technology of ARM, combined with the extension of the vector/SIMD instruction set, can be able to implement the implementation aspects of digital signal processor (DSP) and machine learning (ML). Obtain 4x performance improvement compared to the Cortex-M7 core.This performance improvement is very suitable for graphics and neural network processing, which can eliminate the demand for individual hardware accelerators in some applications.They also realize advanced security, including ARM Trustzone technology, Risa security IP (RSIP-E51A), the security startup function of the first-level guidance loading program in the non-changing storage, the eight with the instant decryption (DOTF) The line SPI interface, as well as pointer verification and branch target recognition (PACBTI) security expansion.

Functional sets for graph display solutions and visual/voice AI optimization

The new RA8D1 product includes a high-resolution graphic LCD controller, with parallel RGB and MIPI-DSI interfaces connected to the LCD display panel, a 2D graphic drawing engine, a 16-bit camera interface (CEU), multiple for storing frame buffer The external memory interface of graphics resources, as well as 176 and 224 pin packaging.This function set is combined with the professional quality graphic user interface software solution of Segger Emwin and Microsoft GUIX, which is fully integrated into the flexible configuration software package (FSP) of Risa.Ruisa also supports open source lightweight multifunctional graphics library (LVGL), as well as powerful graphics and AI ecosystem partners networks.The full -featured graphics assessment kit with LCD panel and camera module improves the solution, and has established a powerful graphic application for industrial HMI, video doorbell, patient monitor, graphic calculator, safety surface board, printer display panel and home appliance monitor and other graphics applications. Development Platform.

Daryl Khoo, Vice President of the IoT Platform Division At Renesas said: "In order to improve the user experience, the market's demand for high -quality display is increasing. The launch of RA8D1 MCU shows the design of the global excellent suppliers in the field of microcontroller. Capability and market insight. The newly released products use the unprecedented performance advantages of the Cortex-M85 kernel and Helium technology to meet customers' visual AI implementation of better display and rapid development (such as personnel and object detection, face recognition, image classification and attitude attitude Estimated) growing demand. "

ROLAND NUSSSELDER, CEO of Plumerai said: "Plumerai is facing customers who develop smart home cameras and IoT devices to authorize high -precision AI solutions. We have transplanted Plumerai PEOPLE DETECTION AI to the new RA8D1 MCU. This MCU contains powerful functions. ARM Cortex-M85 CPU and Helium vector extension; compared with the ARM Cortex-M7 using the ARM CMSIS-NN kernel, RA8D1 has increased our software by 6.5 times. Home security, smart buildings, household appliances and retail industries are to us. The AI ​​solution has a lot of demand. With the help of Ra8 MCU of Risa, we can now fully meet this demand. "
