Renesas’ STT-MRAM on-board write technologies can significantly reduce the power consumption of microcontrollers in IoT applications
At the IEDM 2021 international conference this week, Renesas Electronics announced the development of two technologies that reduce the time to apply voltage during write operations to Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM) that uses the torque transfer effect (STT-MRAM). With the accelerated proliferation of IoT in recent years, it has been argued, there has been […]
Renesas Expands 5G mmWave Beamformer Lineup with F5288 and F5268 Transceivers with Industry’s Highest Transmitter Output Power
Renesas recently unveiled two dual polarization beamforming ICs optimized for 2×2 antenna architectures for 5G mmWave and broadband wireless connections. They are said to offer best-in-class performance in the n257, n258 and 261. The more integrated F5288 and F5268 (8T8R) transceivers are packaged in 5.1 x 5.1 mm BGA packages and have the highest transmitter […]
Renesas expands line of 28nm microcontrollers for cars
Renesas Electronics this week unveiled the RH850 / U2B microcontroller group, designed to meet the growing need to integrate multiple applications on a single chip and implement a single electronic control unit (ECU) for the evolving electro-electronic (E / E) architecture. Providing a combination of high performance, flexibility, noise immunity and safety, the RH850 / […]
Renesas develops next generation microcontrollers supporting Bluetooth 5.3 specification with Low Energy
Renesas Electronics recently announced the development of a new generation of microcontrollers that will support the recently adopted Bluetooth 5.3 Low Energy (LE) specification. They will join the Renesas Advanced (RA) family of 32-bit Arm Cortex-M microcontrollers, joining the RA4W1 Bluetooth 5.0 LE microcontrollers introduced last year. Renesas expects to receive the first samples of […]
