Since October 2020, Renesas has been officially active in the RISC-V microcontroller space and successfully launched two ASSP products, for motor control and voice-driven HMI systems. Now a general-purpose MCU enhances the RISC-V portfolio. It is the first MCU using a RISC-V core developed internally at Renesas.
The R9A02G021 general-purpose microcontroller features an interesting mix of analog and digital peripherals, as shown in the block diagram below.
