Renesas RZ/T2H High-End Microprocessor (MPU)

High-performance MPU for industrial equipment

Renesas RZ/T2H is an advanced high-end microprocessor (MPU) providing high application processing performance, high-precision real-time control, and Linux operations on a single chip. It has the processing power and peripheral functions required for controllers such as industrial robots, motion controllers, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs).

Quad Arm® Cortex®-A55 CPU cores (1200MHz) for application processing and two Arm Cortex-R52 CPU cores (1000MHz) for real-time control, as well as network functions compatible with Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) and various industrial Ethernet protocols such as EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET RT/IRT. The peripheral functions are capable of controlling motors of up to 9 axes with low latency access from a Cortex-R52 CPU. Equipped with a large-capacity memory interface of LPDDR4, and a large-capacity non-volatile memory interface of SD/eMMC, it supports application-rich operating systems such as Linux.

Two lanes of PCIe Gen3, 2 channels of xSPI, and other high-speed interfaces are also available. Multi-axis motor control can be achieved with a single chip, reducing the number of BOM components, thus contributing to reduced power consumption and board size.

The RZ/T2H is the highest performance microprocessor offered by Renesas for industrial equipment.
