The RZ is a new family of embedded microprocessors that retains the ease-of-use of Renesas microprocessors
(MPUs) while combining Renesas’ proprietary technologies with the ARM® ecosystem, fusing control and information
technology (IT) to provide the solutions necessary for the smart society of the future.

RZ/A Series
Embedded Microprocessors
All aspects of everyday life, such as home appliances, industrial equipment, building management, power grid, and
transportation, are becoming more technologically advanced, and the emergence of a smart society interconnected
through the cloud is nigh. To meet the demands of this smart society, microprocessors are required to have IT
networking capability, human machine interface display capability, faster data processing capability, and so on in
addition to providing high performance and power saving control for devices. It was in this environment that the
RZ Family was developed as a new lineup of high-end embedded microprocessors that employ an ARM® core.
RZ Family Roadmap
3
The RZ/A family extends the SuperH (SH726x) based family including the peripheral functions for driving a display and
providing a scalable solution from the lowest performance SH2A based devices up to the 400 MHz ARM® Cortex-A9
solutions.
The RZ/A Series
Up to 10 MB on-chip large-capacity RAM for low system
cost and higher performance
>The 10 MB on-chip RAM enables image data for two
screens of WXGA size image display to be saved as a
frame buffer. It also makes this the device with the
largest SRAM in the world.
>The 10 MB of SRAM allows designers to build a system
without any external SDRAM, and offers a significantly
decreased system cost.
400 MHz MCU core with advanced Bus structure to
increase performance
>RAM block is split into 5 separate blocks with a multi-
layer bus to ensure the CPU can fetch code and write
data as well as the LCD controller accessing the RAM
concurrently.
>This removes the significant bottleneck of current day
HMI systems
Up to WXGA screen size supported with OpenVG
hardware acceleration
>The device features a dedicated LCD controller able to
support 4 layer overlay and drive up to two WXGA
screens concurrently.
>An OpenVG 2D graphics engine is also included in
order to support vector graphics operations.
Boot and Execute from QSPI
>No need for NOR flash, which can be replaced by
cheaper QSPI flash
>Execute in place supports running code directly from
the external serial flash.
