Description RA6M4 is general-purpose microcontroller designed for industrial, IOT, and infrastructure applications, embedded with robust security features. RA6M4 Security Management Module is provided as a reference for developing FIPS 140-3-compliant modules using the RA6M4. By referring to the design of this module, it becomes easier to address FIPS requirements when developing cryptographic modules using the RA6M4 in customer environments. The Renesas RA6M4 group of microcontrollers uses the high-performance CPU operating up to 200MHz. In concert with the Secure Crypto Engine it offers Secure Element functionality. The integrated Ethernet MAC with individual DMA ensures high data throughput. The RA6M4 is built on a highly efficient 40nm process and is supported by an open and flexible ecosystem concept-the Flexible Software Package (FSP)-and is expandable to use RTOSes and middleware. The RA6M4 is suitable for IoT applications requiring Ethernet, future proof security, large embedded RAM, and low active power consumption.

Automated analysis

Automated inference - use with caution

All attributes shown in this section (e.g., links between certificates, products, vendors, and known CVEs) are generated by automated heuristics and have not been reviewed by humans. These methods can produce false positives or false negatives and should not be treated as definitive without independent verification. This applies equally to the Cross-references section below. If you want to know more about how this data is computed and how reliable it is, see our documentation on automated analysis. If you believe any information here is inaccurate or harmful, please submit feedback.

No automatically derived data are available in this section.
