@PMOIndia
#digitalization
We're thrilled to share we've designed and tested a 32-bit CPU core based on the open-standard RISC-V instruction set architecture, and we’re among the first in the industry to independently develop a CPU core for the 32-bit general-purpose RISC-V market.
We’ve expanded our popular RZ Family with our new RZ/V2H microprocessor, offering the highest performance within the family. Targeting next-generation robotics applications, this new MPU enables both vision AI and real-time control capabilities.
#MPUs
Kaushal Vora, Sr. Director, Head of Business Acceleration & Ecosystem, shared how the cloud's decentralization to the edge has ignited a new age of computing possibilities in a recent Microwaves & RF article.
We’re thrilled to introduce the world’s most advanced MCUs and first series to implement the Arm Cortex -M85 processor, the RA8 Series! The high level of performance allows system designers to use the RA MCUs in applications that previously required MPUs.
