Renesas Electronics Corporation released the RX72T Group of 32-bit Motor Control MCUs (Microcontrollers) with dedicated hardware accelerator IP to perform complex, high-speed computations required for motor control in robots and other industrial equipment. The RX72T Group achieves Highest CoreMark Benchmark Level for 5V MCUs operating at 200 MHz with a score of 1160 as measured by EEMBC Benchmark. This makes it to deliver superior performance optimized for industrial robotics and motor control.
The dedicated accelerator hardware leads to the high-speed position control and speed control calculations required for implementing servo motor control in compact industrial robots. The MCUs also feature 200 MHz PWM inverter control timers with up to 4 channels of 3-phase control, 2 channels of 5-phase control or 10 channels of single-phase control. The register bank save function increases the speed and precision of interrupt handling, improving the device computation performance. The RX72T also comes with hardware-based system failsafe functions and a hardware cryptography module that can be used to encrypt/decrypt communications data.
