Speed of MCU, ease of MCU design
ƒ Microprocessors fast but complicated
• Need external RAM
• Run at a higher speed
ƒ Microcontrollers very simple but slow
• Speed limited by Flash memory
• Easy to use tools / peripherals /
“flat” memory
ƒ RZ/A is the best of both worlds
• Rich peripheral Integration
• Easy tools
• Fast start up with Display it!
• MPU performance from RAM

World’s biggest on-chip RAM
ƒ Up to 10MB embedded
ƒ Flexibility for use as
−Frame buffers
−Stacks
−Code
−Pictures
−Data

Just BIGGER
than you
would expect!

7. High Performance Bus system
Multiple simultaneous Accesses.
ƒ In an HMI several accesses to the RAM have to
happen simultaneously
• Read code for CPU from RAM
• Read frame buffer from RAM to LCD
• Write next frame into RAM
ƒ With external RAM all these accesses

are over the same bus.
ƒ RZ/A has 5 RAM blocks and 5 separate busses.
• ALL accesses can occur simultaneously
128bit x 133MHz
128bit x 133MHz
128bit x 133MHz
128bit x 133MHz
128bit x 133MHz
Real Performance!

8. Decouple Yourself From Market Volatility
ƒ Security of supply of specific DDR-RAM devices
ƒ RAM pricing fluctuates a lot depending on demand and supply
RAM pricing index for 2013-2014 up to 45% pricing change over year.
ƒ Using the RZ decouples you from this volatile market
