22 BRINGING INTELLIGENCE TO THE EDGE The RA family currently includes three product series: RA6, RA4, and RA2. Each of these series has a unique feature set, making them ideal for various applications and market needs. The RA6 Series offers the widest integration of communication interfaces, with integrated Ethernet and TFT display drivers. Flash memory densities range from 256KB to 2MB. The RA6 Series offers up to 240MHz performance running on the Cortex-M4 or Cortex-M33 core with TrustZone®. The RA6 Series supports full security integration, making these devices widely desired for security applications. The RA4 Series balances the requirements for low power consumption with the demand for connectivity. It offers up to 1MB of flash and a wide range of communication interfaces. The utilized core is the Cortex-M4 or Cortex-M33 with TrustZone and additional security IP integration. Memory densities range from 256KB to 1MB of flash. These devices provide a CPU frequency of up to 100MHz. Figure 2: Renesas Flexible Software Package. (Source: Renesas Electronics) The RA2 Series are ideal for designs where the low power requirements of an application matter most. To achieve the best performance, special power-down modes are provided, making these devices well suited for battery- powered applications. The RA2 Series provides memory densities of up to 256KB of embedded flash and a wide single voltage supply range of 1.6 to 5.5V. These devices use the Cortex-M23 core running at up to 48MHz. The Renesas Flexible Software Package (FSP) is an enhanced software package designed to provide easy-to-use, scalable, high-quality software for embedded system designs using Renesas RA Family microcontrollers (Figure 2). It uses an open software ecosystem and provides flexibility in using bare-metal programming, including Azure RTOS, FreeRTOS, other preferred RTOS, legacy code, and third-party ecosystem solutions. The combination of the flexible open architecture of the FSP plus the wide choice of
