The RA8T1, with its high computing power, large memory, and rich analog and peripheral integration, can efficiently achieve three-phase inverter control, meeting the complex demands of motor and power control; the RA2A2 is mainly used for 1-phase, 3-phase, and DC metering in energy management applications; the RZ/V2H is primarily used for high-performance visual AI, including industrial cameras, robots, AGVs, smart factories, and smart retail; the RZ/G3E features a 4-core high computing power and rich peripherals, suitable for mid-to-high-end HMI, IoT, and industrial automation applications. In this speech, Yao Li also showcased solutions based on these products, such as human detection visual AI applications, which, using Helium, achieved a 3.6 times increase in inference speed compared to Cortex-M7, with inference performance reaching 13.6 fps.
In addition, Renesas provides critical hardware support for energy storage applications, such as the RA6T2 and RA8T2 products for inverter control, the RA6M5 and RA8T2 products for system control, and the RA2L1 and RA2L2 products for battery pack management, as well as the RA6M5, RA8M1 for system master control, and RZ/G2, RA8D1 for overall control. These products feature high performance, low power consumption, high integration, and rich communication interfaces, meeting the diverse needs of different stages in energy storage systems. In the critical inverter arc detection design for energy storage, Renesas utilizes advanced AI technology to effectively identify and detect arc signals in energy storage inverters, enhancing system safety and reliability.
International Automotive Electronics Technology Innovation Forum
Renesas High-Performance MCU
Supporting the Development of Future New Generation Automotive Electronic and Electrical Architectures
The 2025 (3rd) International Automotive Electronics Technology Innovation Forum was co-hosted by the Shanghai Transportation Electronics Industry Association, the Shanghai Pudong Automotive Electronics Innovation and Intelligent Industry Alliance, and Munich Exhibition (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. At the meeting, Renesas Electronics Automotive MCU Market Director Zhu Xiaofeng delivered a keynote speech on “Renesas High-Performance MCU Supporting the Development of Future New Generation Automotive Electronic and Electrical Architectures,” introducing the important role of Renesas’s advanced products in the transformation of automotive electronic and electrical architectures.
Renesas Electronics Automotive MCU Market Director Zhu Xiaofeng
As the trend of software-defined vehicles and electrification deeply integrates, automotive electronic and electrical architectures are evolving from distributed to centralized integration. In this process, high computing power, low power consumption, and functional safety have become core requirements. The Renesas RH850/U2x series MCUs and R-Car SoC solutions integrate Ethernet TSN, CAN-XL, and other interfaces, support ISO26262 ASIL-D safety level, with a software reuse rate of 95%, suitable for domain controller scenarios, helping automotive companies shorten development cycles. For intelligent and energy-efficient balance, the product layout based on 28nm technology can enhance computing power while optimizing power consumption, balancing performance and cost. Zhu Xiaofeng stated that future automotive-grade semiconductors will evolve towards an ecosystem of “hardware standardization and software modularization.” Renesas will continue to empower the global automotive intelligence transformation and promote sustainable development in the automotive industry through technological innovation and open collaboration.
International Motor Drive Technology Forum
Sensorless FOC Motor Solutions Across All Speed Ranges
The 2025 International Motor Drive Technology Forum was hosted by Techsugar and Munich Exhibition (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. Renesas Embedded Processor Division Senior Manager Liu Tao delivered a keynote speech on “Sensorless FOC Motor Solutions Across All Speed Ranges,” introducing Renesas’s rich products and solutions in the field of motor control.
Renesas Embedded Processor Division Senior Manager Liu Tao
Liu Tao first introduced Renesas’s diverse motor MCU product line, covering RL78, RA, RX, RISC-V, and other product families. These MCU products have different operating frequencies, core architectures, and storage capacities, meeting the needs of various application scenarios. Among them, the RA6T2, as a star product, adopts a 40nm high-performance process, equipped with a Cortex M33 core with FPU, achieving a high performance of 962.4 CoreMark @ 240MHz, supporting various communication interfaces, analog peripherals, and system functions, and also features functional safety and information security characteristics. In the speech, Liu Tao detailed Renesas’s sensorless FOC motor solution across all speed ranges. This solution aims to help customers easily develop sensorless control functions for IPM motors across all speed ranges, maximizing torque performance. It estimates motor position using a pulse voltage injection method during startup/low speed, achieving smooth motor drive from startup to high speed within a ±10° position estimation error, reducing the risk of losing steps.
