Renesas µPD70F3514/µPD70F3515 all flash microcontrollers

Renesas has released two 32-bit all flash microcontrollers, the µPD70F3514 and the µPD70F3515, with processing performance of 1024 Dhrystone MIPS at a clock speed of 200 MHz, said to be the world’s highest among existing 32-bit dual-core MCUs with embedded flash memory.

The MCUs have two built-in CPU cores, 64 KB of random access memory available for each core and 2 MB of flash memory and an additional 64 KB system RAM are available in a 304-pin, fine-pitch ball grid array package.

The single-chip MCUs are suitable for factory automation systems, printers, home information appliances and household equipment.

They share the following features: integration of two V850E2M 32-bit CPU cores; up to 2 MB of flash memory; expanded peripheral functions including USB, CAN and ethernet interfaces as well as an increased number of channels for conventional peripherals such as timers and serial interfaces.

In addition to the MCUs from two MCUs with up to 1 MB flash memory and one built-in V850E2M core are also available.

Recently, manufacturing systems increasingly have become highly precise, faster and more complex to boost the manufacturing capacity of the plants, thereby requiring more complex MCUs integrated in FA systems, such as motion drives, servo drives and inverters, to provide higher performance. In the meantime, it is also important to provide compact MCUs with less power consumption to meet the growing consumer demand for environmentally friendly products.
