Renesas has released the RZ/G3E, a 64-bit microprocessor aimed squarely at developers building advanced HMI systems that need strong graphics capabilities, fast boot times, and robust connectivity at the edge.
Built around a quad-core Arm® Cortex®-A55 running up to 1.8GHz, the RZ/G3E also includes a Cortex-M33 for real-time control tasks. It supports dual Full HD video output at 60fps across LVDS, MIPI-DSI, and parallel RGB interfaces—making it a solid choice for equipment with touchscreens, display panels, and interactive user interfaces.
Designed for Demanding Interfaces
The RZ/G3E includes support for:
-
Two independent Full HD displays
-
MIPI-CSI for camera input
-
PCIe 3.0 (2 lanes)
-
USB 3.2 Gen2 (10Gbps)
-
Dual-channel Gigabit Ethernet
-
CAN-FD for industrial communications
Its power management is tuned for embedded edge devices, consuming just ~50mW in standby and around 1mW in deep standby. That makes it ideal for devices that need to retain memory state and resume Linux quickly after sleep.
Long-Term Support and Linux Ready
Like others in the RZ/G family, the G3E supports the Verified Linux Package (VLP), maintained for 10+ years, as well as current BSPs for Yocto and Ubuntu. Engineers can design confidently with a known-good software stack backed by long-term Renesas support.
Build Faster with SoM and Ready-Made Designs
To speed development, Renesas and partners are offering System-on-Module (SoM) solutions featuring the RZ/G3E:
-
SMARC module from Tria
-
OSM (Size-M) from ARIES Embedded
-
OSM (Size-L) from MXT
Engineers can also take advantage of Winning Combinations like the Full HD Dual-Display HMI Platform or a Digital Otoscope reference design—hardware-validated combinations of Renesas parts that simplify integration and reduce risk.
Availability
The RZ/G3E and Evaluation Kit (including SMARC module and carrier board) are available now.
