32-bit MCUs support operating temperatures ranging from −40°C to +105°C
Renesas Electronics Corporation announced the expansion of its RX24T and RX24U groups of 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) to include new high-temperature-tolerant models for motor-control applications that require an expanded operating temperature range. The new RX24T G version and RX24U G version support operating temperatures ranging from −40°C to +105°C, while maintaining the high speed, high functionality, […]
Intelligent motor control incorporates embedded AI to detect failure
Renesas Electronics Corporation announced the launch of its Failure Detection e-AI Solution for motor-equipped home appliances, featuring the Renesas RX66T 32-bit microcontroller (MCU). This solution with embedded AI (e-AI) enables failure detection of home appliances — such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and washing machines — due to motor abnormality. Property data showing the motor’s current or rotation […]
Teardown: Rexing V1 dash cam
The Rexing V1 is a simple wedge-shaped dash camera that films in a 1080-line progressive scanning format. The lens is made of six glass layers and is fish-eyed to capture a 170° view of whatever it sees. There’s also a built-in vibration sensor, called a G-sensor in the promotional literature, that automatically locks any files […]
32-bit MCUs qualified with Amazon FreeRTOS on AWS
Renesas Electronics Corporation announced the qualification of their RX65N Group of microcontrollers (MCU) with Amazon FreeRTOS, running on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The Renesas RX65N MCU lineup with Amazon FreeRTOS makes it easy for embedded designers to create a more secure end-to-end Internet of Things (IoT) cloud solution for sensor-based endpoint devices. An RX65N-based design […]
32-bit MCUs address connected industrial, robotics, and home appliance market
The RX66T MCUs are the first members of Renesas’ flagship 32-bit RX MCU family based on the new third-generation RXv3 CPU core.
