Solving Driver Engagement and Safety Challenges The automotive industry is evolving, with a significant market gap in high-sensitivity, multi-channel impedance measurement solutions for driver engagement, especially in vehicles equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Currently, existing solutions often fall short in providing the sensitivity and reliability needed for accurate driver monitoring and interaction. Renesas’ […]

As the world navigates the impacts of climate change and environmental shifts, access to vital resources like clean water and healthy soil remains an important global concern. According to the United Nations, over 40% of the global population still faces challenges in accessing safe drinking water and adequate sanitation services. As we have already embarked […]

In order to achieve a zero-emissions future, the automotive industry must reinvent itself. Automakers must bring to the market new differentiated electric models fast. NXP and Wolfspeed collaborated to deliver a fully tested 800 V Traction Inverter Reference Design that mitigates many of the hurdles facing an EV system architect. Anatomy of the power inverter […]

The demand for capacitive touch key is growing significantly because it enables elegant designs, such as a flat operation panel or operation key illumination by backlight. However, you might think it is difficult to implement capacitive touch keys in products for wet areas since water droplets may cause false detection. In the past, at Renesas, […]

Improvements to the UX (user experience) and UI (user interface) enhancing the added value of our products are becoming increasingly important, and Renesas has a lineup of RX family microcontrollers equipped with capacitive touch sensors to make it possible. The RX140 32-bit microcontroller with a new-generation capacitive touch sensor is now available. Renesas has more […]

The need for portable, small-scale motor applications has been growing in the consumer sector, particularly in portable air conditioning units targeting residential housing, RVs and mobile housing, as the coronavirus pandemic created a surge in RV sales as consumers turned to alternative solutions to traditional holidays. To address the growing demand and assist engineers in […]

The ongoing transformation of the automotive industry and the E/E architecture towards CASE (connected, autonomous, shared, electrified) requires enormous efforts and investments. Whereas such transformation is considered indispensable, it creates high-cost pressure on “legacy systems”, especially for entry to mid-range car lines. Cockpit-related modules such as in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) and digital cluster systems are facing […]

Introduction Wi-Fi 6 is the next-generation wireless technology that offers higher speeds but more importantly, it improves signal reliability, network capacity and efficiency in dense deployments. The two notable features that enable this increased network speed and efficiencies are the support for the higher channel bandwidth of 160MHz (vs. 80MHz of Wi-Fi 5 and 40MHz […]

With the growing interest in DX (Digital Transformation), the use of IoT in consumer electronics and industrial equipment is increasing. These IoT endpoints are not limited to sending collected data to the Cloud, but many are also required to perform AI-based procedures, such as voice recognition and touch keys from HMI to failure prediction. For […]
