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, […]

We are all getting kind of overwhelmed by the amount of tracking going on in our everyday lives. One thing we do not get tired of is tracking things we value. A Prime example (pun intended) is your Amazon delivery. In the past, you knew when it was shipped and you knew when it arrived […]

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 […]

Embedded Artificial Intelligence (AI) is when AI inferencing is done at the endpoint, rather than on a server in the cloud. The Renesas RZ/G FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) AI Board Support Package (BSP) is a collection of Yocto meta-layers that enable a number of popular Open Source AI frameworks to run natively on […]
