The RZ/Five-RISC-V microprocessor (MPU) from Renesas Electronics expands upon Renesas' Arm CPU core–based MPUs. The RZ/Five a general-purpose MPU based on an Andes AX45MP utilizing a RISC-V CPU instruction set architecture (ISA. The Renesas RZ/Five-RISC-V microprocessor, available from Mouser Electronics, is a single-core, 64-bit processor with a maximum operating frequency of 1 GHz. The MPU has 128 KB of internal SRAM with ECC and 16-bit DDR4-1600 or DDR3L-1333 memory interfaces with in-line ECC supporting up to 4 GB of RAM. Peripheral functions include support for multiple interfaces, including two Gigabit Ethernet MAC channels, two USB 2.0 channels and two serial CAN/CAN-FD interfaces. Additional features of the RZ/Five include a two-channel, 12-bit ADC, thermal sensor, four I2C interfaces, three SPI interfaces and GPIOs. For security support, the MPU also has 1 Kbit of OTP memory, secure boot, a crypto engine and secure JTAG. For additional design flexibility, the peripheral functions and package of the RZ/Five are pin-compatible with those of the Arm core-based RZ/G2UL, allowing for easy reuse of existing and proven designs.
