RX72M MCUs with EtherCAT Slave Controller

Renesas Electronics RX72M MCUs with EtherCAT Slave Controller offer a high-performance, single-chip MCU solution with large memory capacities for industrial equipment. Renesas RX72M components achieve superior performance with 1396 CoreMark capability at 240MHz as measured by EEMBC Benchmarks, with capabilities of both application processing and EtherCAT communication. Combining motor-control MCU with on-chip EtherCAT slave functions allows industrial application developers to reduce their Bill-of-Materials (BOM) and support the miniaturization levels required for industrial equipment design. The low-power design and architecture of the device support a single voltage supply ranging from 2.7V to 3.6V. The various communication interfaces include Ethernet MAC compliant with IEEE 1588, SD host interface, quad SPI, and CAN. Typical applications include AC servo general-purpose inverters, industrial motors, Programmable Logic-Controllers (PLCs), industrial controllers, motion controllers, industrial network equipment, and industrial IoT gateway.
