New at Mouser: Renesas RA8E1 and RA8E2 Microcontrollers for Advanced Automation and Smart Applications

March 24, 2025—Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, is now shipping the new RA8E1 and RA8E2 microcontrollers (MCUs) from Renesas Electronics. The RA8E1 and RA8E2 MCUs boast multiple integrated low-power modes and features to improve efficiency and streamline costs for general-purpose and advanced voice, vision and graphics applications in industrial automation, smart buildings and offices, healthcare and medical, and home appliance applications.

The Renesas RA8E1 and RA8E2, available from Mouser, are entry-line 32-bit MCUs based on the Arm^® Cortex^®-M85 (CM85) core (360MHz/480MHz) with Helium™ and TrustZone^®, delivering breakthrough performance (6.39 CoreMarks/MHz / 3000 CoreMarks @ 480MHz,) with fully deterministic, low-latency, real-time operation to enable the most demanding application needs. Both devices integrate low-power features and multiple low-power modes to improve power efficiency while still delivering this industry-leading performance.

The RA8E1 MCUs integrate the high-performance CM85 core with 1MB Flash code and 544KB SRAM memory, multiple external interfaces and an optimized peripheral set, including an 8-bit Capture Engine Unit (CEU) camera interface that addresses the needs of both price-sensitive and high-performance applications. RA8E1 MCUs are available in 100 and 144-pin LQFP packages and are fully supported by the RA Flexible Software Package and a comprehensive set of hardware and software development tools.

The RA8E2 MCUs offer 3000 Coremark performance with an integrated high-performance CM85 core, a large 1MB code flash with 672KB SRAM memory, and an optimized peripheral set including a graphics TFT-LCD controller with parallel RGB interface, 2D drawing engine, and multiple external memory interfaces, for high-performance graphics applications. These MCUs are available in 224-pin packages that are also fully supported by the RA Flexible Software Package and a comprehensive set of hardware and software development tools.
