Renesas Targets Robotics and Industrial Equipment with its New RZ/T2N Quad-Core Chip
Overview
Renesas has announced the RZ/T2N, a new application-class microprocessor designed for robotics and industrial equipment. The chip features a dual-core Arm Cortex-A55 cluster running up to 1,200MHz and a dual-core Cortex-R52 real-time cluster running up to 800MHz. It includes on-board motor control supporting up to four axes, industrial Ethernet with Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) support, multiple communication interfaces including EtherCAT, PROFINET RT/IRT, and EtherNet/IP, as well as various encoder protocols like Tamagawa T-Format and EnDat 2.2/3. The device also offers error correction code (ECC) memory support, a hardware accelerator for trigonometric functions, and an evaluation board available for $549, though the chips were not yet in sales channels at the time of reporting.
