Renesas: Renesas Electronics Corporation Extends Mid-Class AI Processor Line-Up with RZ/V2N Integrating DRP-AI Accelerator for Smart Factories and Intelligent Cities of Tomorrow

Renesas Electronics Corporation expanded its RZ/V Series of microprocessors (MPUs) with a new device that targets the high-volume vision AI market. Similar to its high-end device, the RZ/V2H, the new RZ/V2N MPU comes with Renesas' proprietary AI accelerator, DRP (Dynamically Reconfigurable Processor)-AI3, boasting 10 TOPS/W (Tera Operations Per Second Per Watt) power efficiency and an AI inference performance of up to 15 TOPS through its advanced pruning (Note 1) technology. With the latest addition of the RZ/V2N, the RZ/V series has now expanded to cover a full range of markets, from the low-end RZ/V2L (0.5TOPS) to the high-end RZ/V 2H (up to 80 TOPS). Developers can easily implement vision AI in a wide range of applications, from AI cameras for traffic and congestion analysis in commercial facilities, industrial cameras for visual inspection on production lines, to driver monitoring systems for behavior analysis. Renesas will showcase a live demonstration of the RZ/V 2N at embedded world 2025 in Nuremberg, Germany, March 11-13, 2025, at the Renesas booth, Hall 1 Stand 234 (1-234). Double-angle image processing with two cameras Similar to the RZ/V2G, the new RZ/V2N is equipped with four best-in-class Arm®? Cortex®?-A55 CPU cores and a single Cortex-M33 core, coupled with a high-quality image signal processor (ISP), Arm Mali-C55. Comprehensive development environment The RZ/V2N will be available with the Renesas evaluation board kit and a software development environment, along with various AI applications covering more than 50 use cases that are provided in the AI Applications and AI SDK (GitHub). The SDK assists users without in-depth AI knowledge to quickly evaluate and develop AI applications, shortening time to market. Additionally, partner companies will provide a SOM (system-on-module) board, SBC (single board computers), camera modules, and other products that incorporate the Renesas RZ/V2N. This reduces hardware design work, allowing developers to focus on AI application development and bring their products to market rapidly. AI Camera Solution winning Combination: Renesas has developed the AI Camera Solution, which targets a variety of applications, including factories, public facilities, and commercial facilities. This solution consists of the R Z/V2N, power management IC, and real-time clock IC, and can be used as a reference for AI camera systems.
