==== The RX MCU family ====
The RX, an acronym for Renesas Xtreme, is the family name for a range of 32-bit [[microcontroller]]s developed by Renesas, as opposed to the H family and the MC family, launched by Hitachi and Mitsubishi respectively.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Commemorating on the Growth of Renesas 32-Bit RX Family on its 10th Anniversary {{!}} Renesas|url=https://www.idt.com/us/en/blogs/commemorating-growth-renesas-32-bit-rx-family-its-10th-anniversary|access-date=2021-01-17|website=www.idt.com|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Renesas (Mitsubishi, Hitachi) Microcontroller Development Tools|url=https://microcontrollershop.com/default.php?cPath=99|access-date=2021-01-17|website=microcontrollershop.com}}</ref>

The RX family was launched in 2009 by Renesas Technology with the first product range designated the RX600 series<ref>{{cite web|access-date=2024-06-06 |date=2009-03-27 |title=Renesas RX610 microcontrollers for embedded systems |publisher=electronicsweekly.com |url=https://www.electronicsweekly.com/news/products/microprocessors/renesas-rx610-microcontrollers-for-embedded-systems-2009-03/}}</ref> and targeting applications such as metering, motor control, human–machine interfaces (HMI), networking, and industrial automation. Since 2009 this MCU family range has been enlarged with a smaller variant the RX200 series<ref>{{cite web|access-date=2024-06-06 |date=2011-03-13 |title=Renesas targets ultra low power with RX200 |publisher=eetimes.com |url=https://www.eetimes.com/renesas-targets-ultra-low-power-with-rx200/}}</ref> and also through enhanced performance versions.
