Renesas brings its new RH850/U2C 32-bit automotive MCU to Embedded World 2026 next week, with live demos at Hall 1, Stand 234.
Built on a 28nm process, the RH850/U2C runs four CPU cores at up to 320 MHz and includes up to 8 MB of on-chip flash. It slots in as the low-end addition to the RH850 family, sitting below the U2B and U2A, and is designed as a migration target for engineers currently on RH850/P1x or F1x devices.
The MCU supports ASIL D functional safety and covers both legacy and next-generation interfaces: CAN-XL, Ethernet TSN, 10Base-T1S, and I3C alongside CAN-FD, LIN, and I²C. Cybersecurity compliance covers ISO/SAE 21434 and includes support for post-quantum cryptography. The 28nm process yields lower active and standby power versus prior generations.
A starter kit is available now. The device is in production.
