Simplified MPU Design

Speed of MCU, ease of MCU designMicroprocessors fast but complicated• Need external RAM• Run at a higher speed

Microcontrollers very simple but slow• Speed limited by Flash memory• Easy to use tools / peripherals /

“flat” memoryRZ/A is the best of both worlds• Rich peripheral Integration• Easy tools• Fast start up with Display it!• MPU performance from RAM

High Performance Bus system

7

Multiple simultaneous Accesses.In an HMI several accesses to the RAM have to happen simultaneously

• Read code for CPU from RAM• Read frame buffer from RAM to LCD• Write next frame into RAM

With external RAM all these accesses are over the same bus.RZ/A has 5 RAM blocks and 5 separate busses.

• ALL accesses can occur simultaneously
