Renesas Electronics RZ/V2N Mid-Range Embedded AI MPUs

Renesas Electronics RZ/V2N Mid-Range Embedded AI Microprocessors (MPUs) are designed to deliver powerful Artificial Intelligence (AI) performance with impressive efficiency, making them ideal for applications requiring advanced embedded processing capabilities. At the core of the RZ/V2N lies the DRP-AI3 accelerator, offering a remarkable 10TOPS/W of efficiency, with 4TOPS for dense workloads and 15TOPS for sparse tasks. The MPU features a quad-core Cortex-A55 running at 1.8GHz and a single Cortex-M33 at 200MHz for low-power management. With two 4-lane MIPI-CSI2 camera inputs and an optional ISP, the RZ/V2N is equipped for high-quality image and video processing, while the hardware support for H.264/265 codecs ensures efficient video encoding.

The Renesas RZ/V2N MPUs boast a high-speed LPDDR4/4X memory interface with 32-bit x1 ECC support, offering 12.8GB/s throughput. The rich set of interfaces includes dual Gb Ethernet channels and a PCIe Gen3 1-lane, making it highly versatile for a wide range of embedded applications. The RZ/V2N provides an excellent balance of high-AI performance and affordability, reducing BOM costs by eliminating the need for additional cooling systems and enabling smaller, lighter end products with extended battery life. These features allow AI functions previously only possible on high-end models, opening up opportunities for cost-effective, efficient, and compact embedded AI solutions.
