Renesas RA4T1 & RA6T3 Microcontrollers (MCUs)

RA4 Series 100MHz and RA6 Series 200MHz Arm® Cortex®-M33 Motor Control Microcontrollers

The RA4T1 is based on the 100 MHz Arm® Cortex®-M33 core with TrustZone®.

The RA4T1 group offers an optimized peripheral for motor control and inverter control functions with small 32-pin QFN and LQFP package options. These satisfy the needs of high-performance, cost-sensitive and space-constrained applications.

The RA4T1 integrates a wide range of communication interfaces, including CAN FD, I3C, SCI and SPI, covering all the connectivity needs of a wide range of motor control and consumer applications.

Power Modes

Renesas — RA Family Lineup-RA4T1

The RA6T3 group is the third microcontroller for motor control in the RA6 series, designed for an optimum balance of peripheral functions and cost suitable for motor control, based on the 200 MHz Arm® Cortex®-M33 core with TrustZone®.

The RA6T3 is pin and function compatible with the RA4T1 group and can be seamlessly upgraded, making it an ideal solution for motor control and inverter control applications requiring higher performance.
