Renesas Electronics Corporation is a global leader in microcontrollers, analog, power, and System on Chips.

We're part of the Preferred Partner Program and we have been relying on their MCUs and other electronic components for many of our projects.

The RZ/A3UL allows you to achieve the full potential of a real-time operating system (RTOS) while leveraging the performance boost provided by the 64-bit Arm® Cortex®-A55 CPU core with a maximum operating frequency of 1 GHz. Integrating the 512Mbit OctaFlash and 512Mbit OctaRAM we conveniently packaged them in a Feather format.

Besides the processor, the Feather SoM contains the classic Feather features: digital GPIOs, I2C and SPI communication pins, UART pins, a LiPo battery power plug, and the USB programming port. The SoM also features a USB Type-C for powering the board and for USB debug upload.

Feather format

Feather is a flexible and powerful family of microcontroller main-boards (Feathers) and daughter-boards (Wings) with a wide range of capabilities. They can be plugged into a breadboard for quick prototyping, have built-in battery connectors for your on-the-go projects, and most have built-in lipoly chargers.

Camera interface

Camera Interface

Our Feather SoM features a 4-lane MIPI CSI connector, supporting 5MP resolution at 30 fps with RAW12 color depth. It offers a maximum bandwidth of 1.5 Gbps per lane and allows the selection of one virtual channel from four available. The interface supports a wide range of input image data formats, including YUV420 in 8-bit and 10-bit, Legacy YUV420 8-bit, YUV420 with Chroma Shifted Pixel Sampling, YUV422 in 8-bit and 10-bit, and various RGB formats such as RGB444, RGB555, RGB565, RGB666, and RGB888. Additionally, it supports RAW formats from RAW6 to RAW20, making it highly versatile for diverse computer vision applications.
