Renesas RZ/T2H - ZERO SOM

ZERO is a System on Module (SoM) based on the Renesas RZ/T2H microprocessor, specifically designed for high-performance real-time applications. Thanks to its advanced ARM Cortex-R52 cores and integrated industrial features, ZERO is ideal for motion control, robotics, factory automation, and other time-critical embedded systems.

ZERO offers a combination of high computing power, real-time determinism, and industrial connectivity. Developers benefit from reduced design complexity, optimised time-to-market, and a scalable hardware platform fully supported by DAVE Embedded Systems.

ZERO is powered by the Renesas RZ/T2H microprocessor, featuring multiple ARM Cortex-R52 cores, hardware accelerators, and advanced peripherals designed to meet the demanding needs of industrial automation and real-time processing.

By using ZERO, engineers can focus on application development rather than hardware complexity. The module integrates all key functions, provides long-term availability, and reduces both risk and cost of custom board design.

ZERO is backed by DAVE Embedded Systems’ full range of technical support services, including documentation, software development kits, and direct assistance from the engineering team. This ensures a smooth integration of ZERO into industrial projects.

Yes, ZERO integrates a wide range of industrial connectivity options, including Ethernet, fieldbus interfaces, and serial communication. This makes ZERO suitable for real-time industrial networks and interoperability with existing automation systems.

ZERO adopts a compact and robust form factor (45x45mm), optimised for industrial environments. This design ensures mechanical stability, simplified integration, and flexibility in custom carrier board development.

ZERO is designed with energy efficiency in mind. Thanks to the Renesas RZ/T2H microprocessor and advanced power management, ZERO achieves high computing performance while maintaining optimised power consumption for embedded and industrial applications.

Yes, ZERO is part of the DAVE Embedded Systems’ Longevity Program, which guarantees product availability for an extended period of time. The program ensures proactive lifecycle management, long-term supply stability, and continuous support, making ZERO a reliable choice for industrial applications with long product lifecycles.
