R-IN32M3-EC User's Manual
1. Overview
1.1 Introduction
Ethernet communication continues to spread rapidly in the field of industrial automation as manufacturers seek to
improve the capability, efficiency, and flexibility of their organizations. Modern industrial Ethernet applications require
high-speed real-time response, low power consumption, and high performance. These requirements are not necessarily
met by traditional methods such as hard-wired Ethernet processors or dedicated high-speed CPUs.
Renesas R-IN32M3-EC of large-scale integrated circuits (LSI) are specifically tailored to meet the demands of industrial
Ethernet applications. Key features include:
• Integrated Arm

Cortex
• Integrated real-time OS accelerator with support for citrons version 4.0
• Integrated 10/100 Mbps EtherPHY
• Dedicated DMA controller and buffer for the network processor
• Multiple timers, serial interfaces, general purpose I/O (GPIO), external memory interfaces
• High-speed, real-time, deterministic, low-latency, low-jitter response for real-time applications
• High performance with low CPU usage by offloading functions to real-time OS accelerator
• Low power consumption
